Truck Accident Injury Representation
Standing up for victims of 18-wheeler crashes.
Collisions involving large commercial trucks often leave lasting damage—physically, emotionally, and financially. At William W. Green & Associates, we represent individuals injured in 18-wheeler and semi-truck accidents across California. With decades of experience handling complex injury claims, we work to hold negligent drivers, trucking companies, and insurers accountable for the harm they cause.
Crashes with 18-wheelers frequently result in catastrophic injuries due to the truck’s size, weight, and limited stopping distance.
Truck drivers and freight companies are required to follow strict federal and state safety regulations.
Violations like fatigue, speeding, and overloaded cargo are common causes of preventable trucking accidents.
We help injured victims uncover the truth, challenge insurance tactics, and pursue full compensation for their losses.
What to know after a California truck accident.
If you were hurt in a crash involving a semi-truck, it’s critical to act quickly. Trucking companies often send their lawyers and insurers to the scene within hours. Our firm works just as fast to preserve evidence, secure accident reports, and build a strong case on your behalf. We fight for maximum compensation—no matter who’s on the other side.

Frequently Asked Questions About Truck Accident Claims.
Truck accidents can lead to life-altering injuries and complex legal questions. Here’s what you should know if you’ve been involved in one:
What makes truck accident cases different from car accidents?
Commercial truck accidents often involve multiple parties—drivers, carriers, contractors, even manufacturers. These cases require detailed investigations, federal regulation knowledge, and the ability to go up against corporate legal teams and insurance companies.
Who can be held liable in a truck accident?
Liability may fall on the truck driver, the company that owns the truck, third-party maintenance providers, cargo loaders, or others. We investigate every angle to determine fault and ensure all responsible parties are held accountable.
What evidence is important in a trucking case?
Key evidence includes the truck’s black box data, driver logs, maintenance records, dash cam footage, and any regulatory violations. We move quickly to preserve this evidence before it’s lost or destroyed.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit?
In California, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. In cases involving government entities or wrongful death, deadlines may vary.
Do I need a lawyer to handle a truck accident case?
Yes. These are complex, high-stakes cases often involving corporate defense teams. Our firm has the experience and resources to fight back—and we don’t charge unless we win.
