Castro Valley Truck Accident Lawyer
Injured in a crash with a semi-truck or commercial vehicle in the Bay Area? We can help you recover full compensation.
Why Truck Accidents Are So Complex
Multiple parties may be responsible.
From drivers to trucking companies and cargo loaders, several parties may share liability after a commercial vehicle crash.
Injuries are often catastrophic.
Because of the size and weight of trucks, victims often suffer life-changing injuries like spinal damage or brain trauma.
Trucking companies move fast to protect themselves.
They often deploy legal teams and insurance adjusters immediately — before you’ve even seen a doctor.
You need an advocate who understands the system.
We know how to investigate trucking violations, driver logs, maintenance failures, and FMCSA regulations to build a winning case.
Protecting Victims of Commercial Vehicle Crashes
Understanding Your Rights After a Truck Accident
Large trucking companies and their insurers are focused on minimizing payouts — not your recovery. At the Law Office of Eduardo Robles, we level the playing field. With 20+ years of litigation experience, we know how to uncover the truth and fight back when victims are blamed or pressured to settle for less.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Driver Fatigue & Hours-of-Service Violations
Truckers often drive longer than the law allows, leading to drowsy driving and preventable crashes.
Improper Maintenance & Equipment Failure
Faulty brakes, worn tires, and missed inspections can turn a truck into a deadly hazard.
Overloaded or Unsecured Cargo
Improperly loaded cargo can shift during transit, causing rollovers or jackknife accidents.
We handle truck accident claims involving commercial big rigs, delivery trucks, tankers, and 18-wheelers throughout Castro Valley and the greater Bay Area.

- Common Questions
About Truck Accidents
What should I do right after a truck accident?
Call 911, get medical attention, take photos of the scene, and avoid giving statements to insurance companies until you speak with an attorney.
Can I still file a claim if I was partly at fault?
Yes. California is a comparative negligence state, so even if you were partially at fault, you may still recover compensation.
How long do I have to file a trucking accident claim?
In California, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim—but don’t wait. Evidence fades fast.
Who can be held liable in a truck accident?
Potentially liable parties include the truck driver, trucking company, maintenance provider, cargo loader, and even the manufacturer of defective parts.
How much is my truck accident case worth?
Case value depends on the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering. We evaluate every detail to maximize your recovery.
