In the attached video, San Diego personal injury attorney Elliot Kanter answers a question he often hears: Can I sue after being injured in a truck accident? If you or someone you love has been involved in a collision with a commercial vehicle—whether it’s an Amazon delivery truck or a big rig—this video breaks down what you need to know about your rights and next steps.
As Kanter explains, filing a claim after a truck accident follows a similar process to a regular auto accident, but the stakes are often much higher. Due to the size and weight of commercial trucks, injuries tend to be more severe, and liability can be more complex. In many cases, it’s not just the driver who may be at fault—it could also involve the trucking company, a maintenance provider, or even the manufacturer of a faulty part.
One of the most important pieces of advice Kanter offers is to seek proper medical care immediately, using your own health insurance when possible. Doing so not only ensures you get high-quality treatment, but it also strengthens your case by removing any suggestion that your care was influenced by the legal process. Trucking companies and their insurers often try to discredit claims by questioning whether the medical treatment was necessary—using your trusted providers helps protect you against those tactics.
If you’ve been hurt in a truck accident, it’s crucial to act quickly. Evidence like driver logs, truck maintenance records, and accident scene documentation can be time-sensitive.
