Hurt in a Truck Accident? Here’s the Type of Lawyer That Can Help You Sue a Trucking Company
Truck accidents are serious. The sheer size and weight of commercial trucks can turn even a minor collision into a devastating event. Seek the right support, and you’ll find the power to genuinely protect your future.
What Makes Truck Accident Cases Unique?
Large trucking companies face strict federal and state regulations. These cover hours of service, vehicle maintenance, and driver qualifications. Proving negligence in these cases often means digging deep into logs, inspections, and corporate practices. It’s not enough to call it a “car accident.”

The Human Toll of Trucking Crashes
According to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), nearly 4,000 people died in car crashes last year. That translates into roughly 12 deaths every single day on California roads.
In LA County, more than 58,000 collisions caused injury or death, with 653 fatalities just in 2024.
Every number represents heartbreak, lives impacted, and futures changed forever.
Which Lawyer Can Hold a Trucking Company Accountable?
If you or a loved one was hurt in a collision with a commercial truck, you need an experienced trucking accident lawyer.
“Truck accident litigation is a unique type of injury law,” claims Monica Washington Rothbaum, COO and Senior Attorney at J&Y Law. “It’s about navigating a tightly regulated industry where proving fault requires a deep dive into federal compliance, maintenance logs, and systemic corporate behavior. That requires industry-specific experience.”

Why You Shouldn’t Go At It Alone
Insurance providers who work with large truck fleets know the stakes, and they don’t negotiate fairly. Without a skilled attorney on your side, you risk having your injuries minimized, your damages reduced, or your case delayed indefinitely.
“These insurers are backed by legal teams trained to delay, deflect, and diminish your claim,” says Rothbaum. “Without a lawyer fluent in trucking regulations and courtroom strategy, you’re outmaneuvered before you’ve really even begun.”
Do I Really Need a Lawyer with Experience in Truck Accidents?
Yes. A truck accident is not just a bigger car accident. It is a completely different battlefield. Trucking companies are backed by federal safety regulations, powerful insurance carriers, and teams of lawyers who start building their defense within hours.
To protect your case, your lawyer needs to understand complex rules on driver rest periods, cargo loading, and vehicle maintenance. Without that knowledge, important evidence can be lost and your recovery put at risk.
Can’t a Car Accident Lawyer Handle This?
Not always. A truck crash is far more complex than a car accident. Federal safety rules, black box data, and corporate defense teams make these cases a different fight altogether. While car accident attorneys have valuable experience, most do not have the regulatory and investigative skills required to take on the trucking industry.
How Do Truck Accident Cases Work Differently?
They are rarely simple. A single crash can involve multiple defendants such as the driver, the trucking company, the maintenance crew, the cargo loader, or even the manufacturer of a faulty part. Each has its own lawyers and insurers fighting to avoid blame. Handling this web of liability takes experience and strategy that goes beyond a typical car accident case.
