Truck accidents are often catastrophic due to the sheer size and weight of commercial trucks compared to passenger vehicles. If you were hit by a 18-wheeler, semi-truck, tractor-trailer, or another large commercial vehicle you are eligible to file a personal injury claim in California.

Why Do You Need a Truck Accident Lawyer?
A serious crash leaves you recovering from injuries and facing mounting medical expenses, while the insurance provider has already assigned a legal team whose job is to limit what you’re owed. Facing that alone puts you at a disadvantage, which is why injury victims across the Simi Valley area turn to experienced legal representation. Here’s what the right lawyer does for you:
Identifies every party responsible. Truck cases rarely involve just one driver. Our attorneys investigate all potentially liable parties — the driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, the maintenance contractor — so no source of financial recovery is overlooked. We gather evidence quickly, from black box data and driver logs to surveillance footage that can disappear within days.
Builds the full value of your claim. A fair settlement has to account for more than today’s bills. We document your medical expenses, future medical costs, lost income, vehicle damage, and the non-economic damages that come with catastrophic injuries — severe burns, emotional distress, and emotional suffering that don’t show up on a repair estimate.
Handles the claims process end to end. From filing under California law within the statute of limitations to negotiating for maximum compensation, we manage every step. If the insurer won’t offer what your case is worth, our team is ready to take it to trial.
Bojat Law Group serves Simi Valley clients and injury victims throughout Ventura County and Los Angeles County. Truck accidents are one part of what we do. Our personal injury attorneys also handle auto, motorcycle, and pedestrian accident claims, and we know how to make trucking companies and their insurers answer for the harm they cause.
Why Trust Us to Hold the Trucking Company Accountable?
Trucking companies and their insurers move fast to protect themselves, and they count on personal injury victims not knowing how commercial claims work. Here’s what you get when Bojat Law Group takes your case:
Super Lawyers recognition and more than a decade in personal injury law. Our attorneys have spent over ten years representing injured people against insurers, and that work has earned Super Lawyers recognition, a distinction reserved for a small percentage of attorneys in the field.
We know the federal rules that govern trucking. Commercial carriers answer to FMCSA regulations on driver hours, maintenance, and cargo loading. We pull the driver logs, inspection records, and black box data, then turn any violation into leverage to prove negligence and pursue the compensation you’re owed.
More than $1 million recovered for injured clients. We measure our record by what we put back in our clients’ hands, one case at a time, rather than by a single headline number. Every claim gets the same full investigation and the same push for fair compensation.
Trial-ready when the insurer won’t pay. Most claims settle, but insurers offer more when they know your lawyer will take them to court. We prepare every case as if it’s going to trial, so a lowball offer meets a firm that’s ready to litigate.
You pay nothing unless we win. No fee upfront and no cost to you unless we recover, including the investigation, the experts, and trial.
What the Numbers Say About Truck Accidents?
Federal data from the FMCSA tells the story plainly. In 2024, large trucks were involved in 11,487 crashes across California, and 366 of those were fatal, claiming 392 lives. Serious truck crashes have trended down over the past few years, but the ones that happen still leave accident victims with catastrophic, life-changing injuries, because the physics never change: a loaded commercial truck can outweigh a passenger car by twenty to one.
That kind of force is why these claims get fought so hard. A single serious injury can mean broken bones, months of physical therapy, lost wages, and mounting medical bills that stretch for years, and the carrier’s insurer knows it. Insurance companies defend the most valuable claims the hardest, which is exactly why accident victims who take on the process alone are at a disadvantage. A truck accident law firm with the financial resources to run a thorough investigation levels that field, and lets you pursue the full compensation your injuries have cost you.

(818) 877-4878What Compensation Can You Get After a Simi Valley Truck Accident?
A truck crash leaves you with more than one kind of loss, and a strong claim accounts for all of them. Depending on how your case unfolds, you may be able to recover money for your:
- Medical care. The emergency room, surgery, physical therapy, and any long-term treatment your injuries will require down the road.
- Lost income. The wages you missed while recovering, plus your reduced earning capacity if you can’t return to the same work.
- Vehicle and property damage. The cost to repair or replace your car and anything else damaged in the crash.
- Pain and suffering. The physical pain, emotional distress, and the everyday activities and quality of life the crash took from you.
- Wrongful death losses. When a crash takes the life of a family member, surviving relatives can pursue funeral and burial costs, lost financial support, and the loss of the person’s companionship and guidance.
We track every one of these losses and document them fully, so the insurer sees the true cost of what happened, not the discounted version they’d prefer to pay. Insurer sees the true cost of what happened, not the discounted version they’d prefer to pay.
How Long You Have to File a Truck Accident Claim in Simi Valley?
California puts a hard clock on injury claims, and missing it usually ends the case no matter how strong it was. The deadlines that apply after a Simi Valley truck crash are:
- Two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. Under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1, you generally have two years from the date of the crash to sue for your injuries. Once that window closes, the court will almost always dismiss the case, and your right to pursue compensation goes with it.
- Two years for wrongful death, measured from the date of death, when a collision takes the life of a family member.
- Six months if a government entity is involved. If a city, county, transit agency, or public employee had a role in the crash, a formal claim has to be filed with that agency within six months of the injury under Government Code § 911.2, before any lawsuit is allowed. This one catches people off guard, and it’s far shorter than the two-year rule.
- Longer for injured minors. When the injured person is under 18, the two-year clock is generally paused until their 18th birthday.
