Who Can Be Held Responsible?

Truck accidents often involve multiple defendants:

Trucking Companies Must Follow Federal Law

Hours of Service Rules: Drivers can only drive 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty. Violations are common and deadly.

Maintenance Requirements: Trucks must be inspected daily and maintained according to federal standards. We investigate compliance.

Driver Qualifications: Commercial drivers need proper licensing, medical certification, and clean driving records.

Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs): Required since 2017, these devices track driving time and can prove violations – if they haven’t been tampered with.

Drug and Alcohol Testing: Trucking companies must conduct random testing and test after accidents. We investigate compliance.

Weight Limits: Overweight trucks are dangerous and illegal. We check weigh station records and loading documents.

My brother previously got into a car accident and his lawyer Hope was able to get him a great settlement and he recommended I call her once I had gotten into a huge accident myself, I was hit on the driver side of my car and sustained an injury to my neck and upper back ! One of the best decisions I have ever made was trusting their law office!!!not only were they able to get me a great settlement, but they gave me more than they initially estimated I would receive !!!

What else can I say besides Amazing. Quality Office with quality service. Efficient with great and clear Communication. Patients needs always comes first. And when you mix in Hope's expertise and experience, you have a winning combination. Why would you go anywhere else? If you have a need for legal services, try El Dabe first and consider it the last stop you'll need to make. Thank you Hope and El Dabe!!!!

After a car accident left me with a painful, persistent neck injury, I turned to El Dabe | Ritter Trial Lawyers. Emelyn S. was fantastic throughout the entire process. She was always there to answer my questions, providing much-needed reassurance, and was particularly skilled at dealing with the tricky parts like health insurance liens. Even when facing a notoriously stingy car insurance company and navigating claims with large health insurance providers, her (and the firm's) professionalism and dedication were key in securing a settlement. This truly made an incredibly challenging situation much more manageable.

Excelente servicio y trato de este Despacho de abogados El Dabe Ritter Trail Lawyers, estoy muy agradecida con El Dabe, Kris, Kat, Giovanni, Emelyn y cada una de las personas que trabajaron en mi caso. Me siento muy feliz y satisfecha con el resultado. Muchas gracias!

Its always nerve racking picking a attorney to represent you, its always the what if they take off with the money, what if they not legit, are they gonna take long, will they give you the best out come and most money for what you deserve? Well after looking through Yelp i found el dabe , and i was nervous at first but after going to physical therapy ( dont miss appts , will lower your money lol) and waiting, they maximized my settlement money and was happy with my outcome. Emelyn and andres helped through out my case and made it easy, good communication through out the case. If you have doubts on choosing someone to represent , choose el dabe ritters theyll get you right.

Don't Wait - California Has Strict Deadlines

California law gives you limited time to file a personal injury claim. The statute of limitations for car accident cases is typically 2 years, but evidence disappears and witnesses forget details. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be to prove your case and the more likely it is to lose compensation.

The sooner you call, the stronger your case becomes.

California Truck Accident Legal Questions

How much does it cost to take on a big trucking company?

Nothing upfront. We handle all costs and work on contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay if we win your case. No win, no fee. We have the resources to fight corporate defendants.

What if the truck driver was an independent contractor?

The trucking company may still be liable. Our truck accident attorneys investigate the relationship and find all responsible parties.

How long do truck accident cases take?

Complex cases take time to investigate properly. We move as quickly as possible while building the strongest case.

What if the trucking company says their driver wasn't at fault?

Companies always deny fault initially. We conduct independent investigations to uncover the truth.

Should I accept the trucking company's settlement offer?

Never accept the first offer without consulting an attorney. Initial offers rarely reflect the true value of your case.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

California’s comparative negligence law may still allow you to recover damages even if you were partially at fault.
