‍

What is a truck accident?

A truck accident refers to a collision involving any kind of truck or heavy machinery. This can include dump trucks, city or other buses, construction trucks, semi-trucks, delivery trucks, or any other kind of commercial or industrial vehicle.

‍

How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a truck accident?

The statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit after a truck accident in California is generally two years from the date of the accident. This means that you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for your injuries, property damage, and other losses.

However, it's important to note that there may be exceptions to this general rule. For example, if the accident involved a government agency or employee, you may be required to file a notice of claim within a much shorter time frame, often as little as 6 months. Additionally, if the trucking company is a government entity, there may be additional requirements that must be met before you can file a lawsuit.

Moreover, in California, some benefits may be covered by your own insurance, rather than the trucking company’s insurance. This could include medical bills, lost wages, and help around the house.

Given the complexities of filing a lawsuit after a truck accident, it's always a good idea to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney who is familiar with California law, such as your Accident Daddy - Drake Law Group. An attorney can help you understand your rights and obligations, navigate the legal process, and work to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.
