What Clients Say After We Fought for Them

"An 18-wheeler ran a red light and hit our car. The trucking company's lawyers reached out within hours. Anand stepped in immediately, and the difference was night and day. He recovered far more than I thought was possible."
David R.

What makes truck cases different
Truck Accident Cases Are Not Like Regular Car Accidents.
Truck accident cases involve bigger insurance policies, multiple liable parties, and trucking companies who have lawyers working against you from day one. Most people who come to us have only thought about the driver. We identify everyone - the trucking company, cargo loader, maintenance provider, and manufacturer. Each one is a potential source of compensation.
Multiple Liable Parties
Trucking company, driver, cargo loader, manufacturer - we identify every source of compensation, not just the driver. Each party carries separate insurance and separate liability.
$1M+ Insurance Policies
Federal law requires commercial trucks to carry $1M+ in liability coverage. That's ten times what a personal auto policy carries - and we fight for every dollar of it.
Act Fast - Evidence Disappears
Black box data, driver logs, and dashcam footage get overwritten within days. The day you call us, we send legal preservation letters to lock that evidence down before it's gone.
You Only Get One Claim
You cannot settle today and come back later when your injuries haven't healed. We evaluate your past AND future damages before any offer is accepted - so you don't leave money behind.
Truck Accident Questions We Hear Every Day
Answered Honestly.
"The trucking company's lawyer called me right after the accident."
Do not speak to them. Trucking companies deploy lawyers immediately to protect themselves - not you. You need your own legal representation right now. Call us before your next conversation with anyone from that company.
"I don't know if it was the driver's fault or the company's fault."
It could be both - plus the cargo company, the truck manufacturer, or the maintenance provider. We investigate every angle to maximize your recovery. That's the difference between a basic settlement and full compensation.
"I can't afford to take on a big trucking corporation."
You pay nothing upfront. Ever. We work on contingency - our fee is a percentage of what we recover. If we do not win, you owe us nothing. We front all costs, including experts, investigators, and court fees.
"The initial offer from the trucking company seems fair."
It almost certainly is not. Quick offers are designed to limit their liability before you understand the full extent of your injuries. Get a second opinion first - it costs you nothing and could change everything.
"I'm worried evidence will disappear before I do anything."
It will - unless we act fast. We issue legal preservation letters to secure the truck's black box, driver logs, maintenance records, and dashcam footage before they are overwritten or destroyed. Call us today.

Common questions
Truck Accident FAQs - Answered Honestly
Why choose Anand Desai for a truck accident case?
Anand Desai is among LA's best-reviewed personal injury attorneys for truck wreck and collision cases -5.0 stars across 114 Google reviews. He goes to trial when insurers won't pay, speaks four languages (Punjabi, Hindi, Tagalog, Thai), and handles every case personally. Most firms hand you to a case manager. You speak directly with Anand.
Is a truck accident case different from a regular car accident?
Yes, significantly. Truck accidents involve federal regulations (FMCSA), larger insurance policies ($1M+ required by law), and multiple potentially liable parties. They require immediate evidence preservation and specialized litigation experience. Generic PI firms often treat them like car cases - and leave compensation behind.
What evidence is most important in a truck accident case?
The truck's electronic logging device (ELD/black box), driver's hours-of-service logs, maintenance records, company safety violation history, dashcam footage, and load manifests. Much of this can be destroyed quickly - calling us immediately matters. We send legal preservation letters the same day.
Can I sue the trucking company, not just the driver?
Usually yes - and it matters enormously. Trucking companies carry $1M+ in liability coverage by federal law. We establish employer negligence, improper hiring, inadequate training, and maintenance failures that make the company directly liable. Going after only the driver often means leaving most of the available compensation unclaimed.
Can I still make a claim if the driver was an independent contractor?
Yes. Even genuine contractors may involve company liability under California's AB5 and the Borello test. We analyze the carrier's level of control, the equipment ownership, and the route requirements - all of which can establish the company's liability regardless of how the contract is written.
The trucking company's insurer contacted me. Should I talk to them?
No. Do not give a recorded statement or accept any payment without speaking with us first. Once you accept a settlement, you typically waive all future claims - even for injuries that have not fully manifested yet. Their adjuster's job is to minimize what they pay you.
How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in California?
Generally 2 years from the accident date. If a government vehicle was involved, deadlines can be as short as 6 months. Act quickly - evidence deteriorates and deadlines are unforgiving. The statute of limitations is 2 years, but the evidence window is measured in days, not years.
Is my consultation confidential?
Completely. Attorney-client privilege protects everything you share with us. We never share your information with the other party, their insurance company, your employer, or any third party - regardless of immigration status or employment situation.
