Truck Accident Lawyer in Westlake Village, CA
Focus on Healing. We Handle the Trucking Company.
The truck accident lawyers at Bradley/Grombacher LLP work from an office right here in Westlake Village, CA, and we move on evidence in the first days rather than the first month. A commercial truck claim is not a bigger car claim. Driver logs, electronic control module data, and maintenance files decide these cases, and those records sit on retention schedules that run out.
Marcus Bradley was recommended to us and after meeting with him, we knew immediately that we wanted him to represent us. Our daughter, sister, and niece were struck in a crosswalk by a distracted driver, this experience was obviously new and traumatizing for us. Marcus guided us through the entire process with professionalism & compassion. His knowledge, thoroughness, and experience ensured the best possible outcome for our case and we highly recommend him.

The Problem
The Case Starts Moving Before You Leave the Hospital
Right now you are managing appointments, missed work, and a phone that will not stop ringing. The records that show what the truck driver was actually doing, the electronic logs, the inspection reports, the dispatch messages, are on retention schedules that keep running while you recover. That is a hard spot to be in when you are the person who got hurt.
The Solution
We Lock Down the Evidence First, Then Build the Claim
Our first move is a preservation demand to the carrier, its insurer, and the responding agency so the driver logs, the electronic control module download, the maintenance file, and any camera footage are held. From there we identify everyone who may share responsibility, which in a truck case can include the motor carrier, the broker, the maintenance contractor, and whoever loaded the trailer. We build the damages side with the same care, because proving what an injury costs across a lifetime is its own piece of work.
The Benefit
Hand It Over and Get Your Attention Back
Once the file is ours, the adjuster calls come to us. You stop being the person chasing records and arguing about fault, and you get to be a patient again. Our goal is that you stop waking up at four in the morning replaying the crash, and start spending that energy on your recovery and the people around you.

Types of Truck Crashes We Handle
18-Wheeler and Semi-Truck Collisions
A loaded tractor-trailer can weigh 20 times what your car weighs, and the injuries reflect that. These cases usually involve an interstate motor carrier, a separate trailer owner, and a commercial insurer, and we identify all of them before we make a demand.
Delivery and Box Truck Crashes
Local delivery routes put box trucks and sprinter vans on residential streets all over the Conejo Valley. Liability often runs to the company behind the route, not only the driver, and that changes what coverage is available.
Jackknife and Rollover Collisions
Jackknife and rollover crashes usually trace back to speed, braking, load balance, or a maintenance failure. The proof is in the truck's data and its service history, which is exactly what we move to preserve first.
Underride Collisions
When a car goes under a trailer, the injuries are severe and the questions turn to guard equipment and conspicuity markings. These claims need investigation that goes past the police report.
Unsecured Load and Cargo Spill Crashes
Cargo that shifts or comes loose can cause a crash without the truck ever touching your vehicle. Responsibility here can sit with the company that loaded the trailer rather than the carrier that hauled it.
Truck Accident Wrongful Death
If a truck crash took someone in your family, California law lets specific family members bring a claim for their own losses. We handle these quietly and at whatever pace the family needs.
Catastrophic and Traumatic Brain Injury
Brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and amputations carry lifetime costs that a first offer will not cover. Our largest motor vehicle recovery came from a traumatic brain injury case, and we build these files with life care planners and economists.
Why a Truck Crash Does More Damage Than a Car Crash
A fully loaded tractor-trailer can legally weigh up to 80,000 pounds on the interstate system. A typical passenger car weighs around 4,000. When those two meet, almost all of the energy goes into the smaller vehicle and the people inside it. That is the whole reason truck cases look different. The injuries are more serious, the medical picture takes longer to settle, and the costs run further out.
- Traumatic brain injury, from mild concussion through permanent cognitive change
- Spinal cord injury and paralysis
- Internal organ damage and internal bleeding
- Crush injuries and amputation
- Complex fractures that need surgery and hardware
- Burns, where fuel or cargo is involved
- Fatal injuries, where a family brings a wrongful death claim
