California Truck Accident Lawyer

When a big rig is involved in an auto accident with a passenger vehicle, it can result in life-altering injuries or fatalities. These vehicles can weigh up to 80,000 pounds when fully loaded, compared to a passenger vehicle that can weigh around 3,000 pounds. If you were injured in an accident with an 18-wheeler, the California truck accident lawyers at the Ibrahim Law Firm can help you fight for the fair compensation you’re owed. We know how difficult it can be to negotiate with the insurance company for a fair settlement and we will not back down until the insurance company offers the reasonable settlement amount you deserve for an accident that was caused by a negligent trucker.

What Makes Big Rig Accident Claims So Complex?

Semi-truck accident claims are often more complex than an accident involving two passenger vehicles, for the following reasons:

A big rig collision will often result in catastrophic injuries for the occupants of the passenger vehicle.

Semi-truck accident claims usually involve significant sums of money, which drives insurance providers to fight harder to minimize the money they will have to pay out.
A truck accident investigation requires examining many pieces of evidence. Federal and state trucking regulations require trucking companies to maintain substantial records that can provide valuable evidence regarding truck accident liability
The trucking industry is made up of several different companies that work together, some of which can share liability for a collision
A trucking company will typically have layered insurance coverage, making it difficult to determine how much compensation is available
