Get Compensation For Big Rig Accidents in California

Big rig or semi-truck accidents can cause catastrophic damage due to the massive size and weight of these vehicles. Big rigs are heavy-duty trucks with large cargo trailers. Common types include 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers, and tankers. 

Despite strict regulations for commercial drivers, accidents still occur due to human error, equipment failure, and challenging driving conditions. According to recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), thousands of fatalities each year involve large trucks.

Common Causes of Big Rig Accidents

  • Driver fatigue: Truck drivers often work long hours to meet deadlines, leading to exhaustion and impaired judgment.
  • Distracted driving: Using cell phones or other distractions while operating a large truck is incredibly dangerous.
  • Speeding or aggressive driving: Large trucks require more time and distance to stop, making speeding extremely hazardous.
  • Improperly secured cargo: Loose or imbalanced loads can cause rollovers or cargo spills.
  • Mechanical failures: Brake malfunctions, tire blowouts, and defective lights are common issues.
  • Adverse weather conditions: Snow, rain, and fog significantly increase the risk of accidents.

Who Is Liable for a Big Rig Accident?

Depending on the circumstances, several parties may be responsible:

  • Truck drivers: For negligence, reckless driving, or violating traffic laws.
  • Trucking companies: For failing to properly train drivers or maintain vehicles.
  • Cargo loaders: If improper loading led to the accident.
  • Manufacturers: For defective parts or equipment failure.
  • Local government: If road conditions contributed to the crash.

Omid Reyhanian

I got referred by a good friend of mine to give them a call when I was involved in a car accident. They sure helped me out with everything and took care of all the back and forth with insurances and doctor visits all I had to do was show up and send over any bills I had coming my way. Now I would be the one recommending them to anyone who’s in need.

Isaac Nava

Alex is very kind and easy to talk to. While he was not able to help me with my case (different field of law), he did give me excellent advice on finding another attorney.

He also offers free consultation, so don’t hesitate to call and ask questions.

Jonathan Scott

I’ve worked with Liz several times due to an unfortunate accident, referring close friends and family members to her. She has taken care of me and my loved one numerous times. She’s made me feel at ease during the stress and pain after dealing with the aftermath of an accident. I highly recommend working with Liz for a very smooth and seamless process on your road to recovery and becoming whole again. Thank you so much!

Nate Liggins

I was lost trying to just communicate with 2 different insurance companies who were basically ignoring me and the claims for myself and my son. I contacted Tofer and Associates and once Fema became my main contact at the firm I felt an instant relief. She was thorough, kept in constant contact with me, answered all my questions and gave me a level of comfort that I had not felt before.

Tammy Taylor

Such a great experience with Tofer & Associates, I highly recommend them! Eliza, in particular, went above and beyond for my family in dealing with a car accident and everything that came with it. She offered great support when we needed it the most. I’m truly grateful for this firm. Thank you so much!

Maria Trebino

Tofer & Associates not only made the initial evaluation process easy and convenient, they have stood with me along the way keeping me updated and working with all the medical personnel involved and following up with them thereby minimizing the effort i had to put forth in the quite grueling process of PI resolution. I especially want to thank Cynthia and Aljon who were very attentive to my needs and provided me with the cash advance and property damage reimbursement which I really needed in a timely and expeditious manner. Kudos to the legal team who have managed to make an unfortunate and unpleasant situation quite bearable and personable!

Rosy la Soprano Arcia

I was involved in an accident a couple months ago & I had the opportunity to work with Eliza and her team who were all great! They handled my case very well & constantly communicated any updates about my case so that I was always in the loop. Despite some complications with my situation itself, every thing was handled so smoothly and efficiently. I wanted to thank Eliza and T&A for everything! Very reliable law firm that I’d recommend to anyone.

My mom and I have had nothing but AMAZING professional services from the law firm of Tofer and associates.
I highly recommend Jonfer Legaspi. He’s very professional and kept me informed from day one. The office staff worked very hard and always helpful. They answered all of my questions. I also want to thank Jing Asuncion, for all the hard work and dedication. We are very pleased with the settlement and I would recommend them to anyone.

Mayra Villanueva

I was involved in a pedestrian accident on March 2023. I called the lawyer Michael A. Cholodenko from Tofer and Associates Law Firm to represent me.The lawyer and his team were very professional and caring throughout the process. I was amazed when they kept contacting me to se how I was doing. I always believe that employees are the best assests to a company and my C.M. Haidy is the best example of it. Also, I have to mention Carlos. He was very empathetic in the interview.
Kudos to Toffer and Associates!
