Home / San Francisco Truck Accident Lawyer
The aftermath of a truck accident is vastly different compared to a car accident. Injuries are more likely to be severe if a driver is involved in an accident with a commercial truck. This could result in costly medical care that will require the victim to fall into a financial burden having to pay off for hospital bills and doctor visits, along with other damages.
Victims of a truck accident are eligible to file a personal injury claim against the party at-fault for injuries and/or damages. The victim is required to show proof of:
If the victim is able to provide these three elements as proof of the other party committing negligence, then the victim will be awarded economic and non-economic damages. However, it is encouraged for accident victims to contact a skilled personal injury attorney. The attorney will assess the victim’s case and provide legal assistance to ensure the victim acquires fair compensation that will cover for damages caused by the accident.
At West Coast Trial Lawyers, our San Francisco truck accident attorneys have won over 5,000 personal injury cases and recovered more than $1 billion in settlements for our clients. Due to our achievements, we have been ranked as one of the top personal injury law firms in San Francisco.

California is a comparative negligence state, meaning that an at-fault driver may be entitled to file a personal injury lawsuit for damages, even if they were partially at-fault for causing a truck accident. While multiple parties can be held liable for a truck accident victims’ injuries and losses, proving liability will typically involve one or both of two legal theories: negligence and strict liability.
According to California negligence law, a truck driver who is found guilty of negligence will be held accountable for causing injuries or damages. The aggrieved party is required to show proof that the truck driver breached their duty of care, which ultimately caused the accident.
California’s strict liability law states that designers, manufacturers, and even any companies involved in a product’s chain of distribution can all be held responsible if their defective product was the cause of a truck accident. In a strict liability case, negligence will not be a factor when determining liability since any of these companies can be found responsible regardless of whether they made any mistakes that contributed to the truck accident.
Possible guilty parties in truck accidents may include:
In order to acquire fair compensation that will help you cover for any injuries or damages you sustained from a truck accident, you should take these tips into consideration.
