What Is a Trucking Accident Case?
A truck accident case means a claim is filed by a victim of an accident involving a commercial truck, like an 18-wheeler or a semi-trailer. The injured person seeks recovery from the responsible party or parties, which usually includes:
The driver of the truck
The trucking company employing the driver
Any other parties potentially responsible for causing the accident (like a vehicle part manufacturer if a part failed and resulted in the accident)
Usually, an accident is caused by the negligence of the truck driver in operating their vehicle or because they violated important existing safety regulations. Some of the more common truck accidents include losing control of the truck, centerline crossovers, jack-knifing, head-on collisions, broadside collisions, lane-change collisions, hit-and-run accidents, and rear-end collisions.
Since these cases often involve extensive investigation and serious injuries, it is critical to consult an attorney with experience handling these types of cases. An attorney familiar with federal and state trucking regulations can provide invaluable assistance.
An experienced Fontana truck accident attorney at Gonzales Law Offices can pursue compensation for medical expenses, wage loss, property damage, pain and suffering, and other forms of damages. They can gather all evidence relevant to the truck accident and help build a solid case to obtain a fair settlement.

Robert R.
Mark helped me recover all my expenses due to my car accident. The insurance company tried to slow the process and doubted that I was even injured. Mark fought for me and gave me peace of mind. I felt like I had an army on my side since his staff worked tirelessly for me. They got the insurance company off my back and helped me get back on my feet faster than I expected.
April F.
Mark did a fantastic job for me when I slipped in a restaurant. I owner had the nerve to claim it was my heels, when clearly the floor was damaged and caused me to fall. He tried to make himself look like the victim of a scam. Mark put an end to that real fast. He took control of everything for me. He helped me get my medical costs paid as well as compensation for the lost time at work.
