Zealous Representation After California Truck Accidents
Truck accidents can cause serious injuries and death. Trucks can become deadly weapons. That's why truck drivers are required to have Class A licenses and follow strict rules when they are on the road. If you or someone you care about is the victim of a truck accident in California, you should know your options.
At the Law Offices of Thomas J. McDonnell in Auburn, we have handled big rig accident cases for over 20 years. For many years, our firm was hired by trucking companies and their insurance companies to investigate fatal accidents within hours of when they occurred. We will take care of negotiations with the insurance company, and if necessary, pursue the compensation you are entitled to in court.
We will aggressively represent your interests. Call 530-392-4916 or contact us online to talk with an experienced attorney.
Fighting for Compensation After a Trucking Accident
Traveling on Interstate 80 and other major roads often involves driving near a semi truck. Most of the time, everything turns out just fine. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Over the past two decades, we have fought for our clients' interests after truck accidents involving bad brakes, mis-loading of the truck, and driver errors like falling asleep.
Having defended truck insurance companies in the past, we know how hard they will try to avoid paying you fairly. As soon as an accident occurs, they will have their own accident investigator, accident reconstructionist and attorney working up a defense. We know how to convince them to give you the compensation you deserve:
- Did the big rig driver violate any laws to cause the accident?
- Was the truck properly maintained? Properly loaded?
- Had the driver slept enough between driving shifts?
- Was the driver adequately trained?
Sometimes, we need to reconstruct the accident to answer these questions. We have an extensive network of experts who can conduct a thorough reconstruction and determine the exact cause of the accident. We will advance you the cost of hiring these experts, and you will not have to pay fees unless we recover for you.

We will take the time to give you an honest assessment of your case and fight for the compensation you deserve for your medical treatment, damage to your vehicle, and other expenses stemming from the crash.
