Fighting for Truck Accident Victims in Madera and Across California
Our firm understands what is at stake. We are committed to helping truck accident victims pursue the compensation they need to rebuild their lives while providing personalized guidance throughout every stage of the legal process.
Our firm has recovered more than $100 million for injured clients throughout California. Among our results are numerous successful truck accident recoveries, including:
- A $3.5 million jury verdict for a single mother injured in a freeway truck accident for which the trucking company denied responsibility
- A $3.25 million settlement for a mother and son injured when a truck driver fell asleep at the wheel
- A $3 million recovery for a semi-truck driver struck by another semi-truck
- A $16 million settlement for a family seriously injured in a collision with a county utility truck
While past results do not guarantee future outcomes, they demonstrate our willingness to pursue complex claims and fight for meaningful recoveries.
Unlike firms that focus on settling cases as quickly as possible, we prepare every case as though it will go to trial. Our California truck accident lawyers have successfully taken cases before juries when insurance companies refused to make fair settlement offers. That preparation allows us to fight for the full value of their claims.
We also believe that exceptional legal representation starts with personal attention. We intentionally limit our caseload so we can treat every client like our only client. When you hire us, you work directly with your attorney, receive regular case updates, and benefit from a legal strategy tailored to your unique circumstances. Our team is also proud to serve clients in English, Spanish, Arabic, and Armenian.
Whether your crash involved a semi-truck, delivery vehicle, tanker truck, or other commercial vehicle, KJT Law Group has the experience, resources, and determination to stand up to trucking companies and their insurers while you focus on your recovery.
How Our Team Builds a Strong Truck Wreck Case
Truck accident claims require an immediate and thorough investigation. Unlike ordinary car accidents, these cases often involve multiple liable parties and critical evidence that can disappear if it is not preserved quickly.
One of our first steps is sending spoliation letters to the trucking company and other responsible parties, requiring them to preserve important evidence such as:
- Electronic logging device (ELD) data
- Black box information
- Driver logs
- Maintenance records
- Inspection reports
- Dash camera footage
Acting quickly helps prevent key evidence from being lost or destroyed.
We also investigate whether the trucking company or driver violated Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations or California trucking laws. Violations involving hours-of-service limits, driver qualifications, vehicle maintenance, cargo securement, distracted or drunk driving, or required inspections can help establish negligence.
Our team gathers the crash report from the Madera Police Department, witness statements, medical records, crash scene evidence, and company records while consulting accident reconstruction experts and other specialists when necessary. By identifying every liable party and preparing each case for trial from the outset, we put our clients in the strongest possible position to pursue maximum compensation.
Recovering the Compensation You Need to Move Forward
The value of your truck accident claim depends on the severity of your injuries, your financial losses, and how the crash has affected your daily life. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses: Emergency treatment, hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, physical therapy, medications, and other healthcare costs
- Future medical care: Anticipated treatment, ongoing therapy, assistive devices, and long-term care related to your injuries
- Lost wages: Income you lost while recovering and unable to work
- Loss of future earning capacity: Compensation if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job or limit your ability to earn a living
- Property damage: The cost to repair or replace your vehicle and other personal property damaged in the collision
- Pain and suffering: Compensation for the physical pain and discomfort caused by your injuries
- Emotional distress: Damages for anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other psychological effects of the accident
- Loss of enjoyment of life: Compensation when your injuries prevent you from participating in hobbies, activities, or other aspects of daily life you once enjoyed
- Wrongful death damages: Funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and other damages available under California law
We carefully evaluate every category of damages to pursue the full compensation you deserve, not just your immediate financial losses.
Who Is Liable for My Injuries from a Truck Accident?
Liability in a truck accident case is often more complicated than in a typical car crash because multiple parties may share responsibility. Depending on the circumstances, the liable party could include:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- A cargo loading company
- A maintenance provider
- A vehicle or parts manufacturer
- Another negligent motorist
Our attorneys ensure we identify all liable parties to give you the best possible route for compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do I Have to File a Truck Accident Lawsuit in California?
In most cases, California law gives truck accident victims two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, you may have less time if a government entity is involved, such as when a city or county vehicle caused the crash. Missing the applicable deadline could prevent you from recovering compensation, so it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
What If I Was Partially at Fault?
You may still be able to recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident. California follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning your percentage of fault may reduce your recoverable compensation, rather than eliminate your ability to recover altogether. Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto victims, so having an attorney investigate the crash and defend your interests can be invaluable.
What Should I Do After a Truck Accident in Madera?
After a truck accident, call 911, seek medical attention, and follow your doctor’s treatment recommendations. If it is safe to do so, take photos of the scene, gather contact information from witnesses, and avoid discussing fault with anyone at the scene. Before accepting an insurance settlement or providing a recorded statement, contact a truck accident attorney who can protect your rights and preserve important evidence.
