Our Lawyers Know How to Pursue Damages in Complex Cases
Claims and lawsuits that involve truck accidents are often more challenging than other kinds of motor vehicle accident cases. This is because:
- There are typically more parties involved
- One of these parties is a powerful trucking company that has probably been sued before, so they are more familiar with the legal system than a typical crash victim
- Trucks are much bigger than other vehicles and can more easily inflict catastrophic damage
The Anaheim truck accident lawyers at KJT Law Group have encountered such obstacles before and know how to deal with them as they occur.
What Damages Can You Get for a Truck Accident?
You deserve damages for all losses connected with the trucking accident. This frequently includes:
- Gastos médicos
- Daños Propietarios
- Pérdida de ingresos
- Pérdida de capacidad de ganancia
- Dolor y sufrimiento
- Disminución de la calidad de vida
- discapacidad
- Significant scarring
If you lost a loved one in the accident, you could seek whatever damages they did not receive through a personal injury action prior to their passing. You could also recover damages like:
- Pérdida de compañía
- Loss of parental guidance
- Pérdida de apoyo financiero
- Gastos funerarios
How Much Is Your Truck Accident Case Worth?
We can answer this question by collecting as much evidence as possible to prove that you were injured and that your injuries were caused by the accident. We might use materials like:
- Photos of your injuries or the damaged vehicles
- The truck’s black box data
- Official reports from the Anaheim Police Department
- The trucking company’s records
- Your medical records and statements from your doctors
- Declaraciones de testigos
En past cases, we recovered $3 million for a truck driver who needed multiple surgeries after being hit by another truck and $2.8 million for a person who was rear-ended by a garbage truck. These results do not guarantee a particular result in future cases, but they do prove our ability to fight for—and win—substantial awards for our clients.
At KJT Law Group, Every Client Is Our Top Priority
Some accident victims may assume that, the more cases a firm takes on, the better and more successful they must be.

The attorneys at KJT Law Group can provide the legal representation you deserve in the following ways:
- We give you acceso directo a su abogado rather than making you go through a case manager.
- We limit the number of cases we take to ensure that every single client gets our undivided attention.
- Somos willing to work hard for each and every client—no odds are too daunting.
- Nosotros handle cases ourselves rather than referring them out. When you hire KJT Law Group, you work with KJT Law Group.

How Long Do You Have to File a Truck Accident Case?
Time limits may vary from situation to situation. For example, if you want to file an insurance claim, we can help you look up what that particular insurance company’s reporting deadlines are. If you intend to file a lawsuit and take the liable party to court, state law gives you just dos años to do so.
Either way, time is of the essence. Call KJT Law Group today for a consulta confidencial about what your rights and obligations are.
How Do Truck Accidents Happen in Anaheim?
Según el Administración Federal de Seguridad de Transportistas (FMCSA), more than 5,100 people were injured in large truck accidents in the state of California in 2024. There are numerous factors that could contribute to such a collision:
- Crowds: Anaheim is home to many popular attractions, from the Anaheim Convention Center to Disneyland, that create heavy traffic and make it harder for everyone, including truckers, to navigate.
- Out-of-town drivers: Tourists may be using rental cars that they are unfamiliar with, and they might be so busy looking at GPS devices or trying to figure out where they are that they fail to notice oncoming danger.
- Hot weather: Southern California’s excessive heat can damage roads, leading to environmental hazards that increase the risk of a crash.
This is in addition to the hazards posed by commercial vehicles themselves, such as fatigued drivers, poorly loaded or dangerous cargo, and large blind spots that prevent truck drivers from seeing vehicles or people in certain areas.
Our legal team understands how these and other factors can impact your case. We can carefully investigate your accident to figure out what happened, who is responsible, and how to get justice for you and your loved ones.

Preguntas frecuentes
Should You Sue the Truck Driver or the Trucking Company?
In many cases, even if the truck driver displayed negligence (e.g., texting and driving), it is their employer who is legally responsible for any poor decisions they make and for paying damages. You would therefore want to file a case against the trucking company instead of or in addition to filing against the driver.
What Does a Truck Accident Lawyer Cost?
Our firm charges clients no attorneys’ fees until we win. That means you can pay us a percentage of your final payout rather than having to pay a retainer out of your own pocket. We also offer free case reviews, so you can learn about your rights and decide whether or not you want to hire us at no charge.
How Does Comparative Negligence Apply to Truck Accident Cases?
Put simply, you can still recover compensation if you are found to be partially at fault for the accident, but your payout decreases as your share of liability increases. Here are three examples to illustrate the concept of comparative negligence:
• If a driver is 10 percent at fault for an accident, their award is reduced by 10 percent.
• If a driver is 50 percent at fault, their award is reduced by 50 percent.
• If a driver is 100 percent at fault, they can recover no damages.
Do You Need to Hire a Lawyer After a Truck Accident?
It is up to you to decide when and if you want to hire a lawyer. There are several advantages to hiring legal representation as soon as possible:
• Evidence is often easier to find when the accident is still recent.
• You may still be receiving medical care and need time to focus on that.
• Our law firm can help you avoid unnecessary mistakes that could delay or derail your case.
