Truck Accident Lawyers in Ontario
Providing Premier Legal Representation to Truck Accident Victims
Truck accidents are complex cases that require specialized knowledge and experience to navigate effectively. Unlike typical car accidents, truck accidents involve multiple parties, including trucking companies, drivers, maintenance providers, and more. Ontario and the entire country depend upon the trucks that transport goods to and from our cities to make our region a commerce hub for the entire southwest region of the country. But when a truck driver operates carelessly or is working with defective or negligently maintained equipment, serious injuries and fatalities can ensue. Because of our congested roads and the tendency of many in the trucking industry to place profits over safety, truck accidents and fatalities are an all-too-common event in Ontario and throughout the surrounding areas.
At McCune Law Group, we understand the devastation that can result from truck accidents. These incidents often lead to severe injuries, property damage, and emotional trauma for victims and their families. With offices throughout the Inland Empire including Ontario, Palm Desert, and our newest office in Beaumont, California, as well as national offices in Arizona, Illinois and New Jersey available to provide extensive resources for our clients, a Personal Injury attorney from our firm can advise you of your rights and options and can pursue the monetary damages you deserve to start putting your life back together. We are not just another “Los Angeles” law firm, we are the largest personal injury firm with our headquarters in Ontario, and our attorneys are leaders in the realm of Personal Injury law. We have achieved this reputation by consistently winning large verdicts and settlements for our clients. In fact, we have recovered over $1 billion across our practice areas for the injured and wronged.

Frequently Asked Questions
How common are truck accidents in Ontario?
Truck accidents are unfortunately not uncommon in Ontario. With its extensive network of highways and bustling commercial activity, Ontario sees a significant amount of truck traffic, increasing the risk of accidents. These accidents can involve various factors, including driver error, mechanical failure, and adverse weather conditions, highlighting the importance of vigilance and caution on the road.
Who can be held liable in a truck accident case in Ontario?
Determining liability in a truck accident case can be complex, as multiple parties may share responsibility. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, potential liable parties may include the truck driver, the trucking company, third-party maintenance providers, manufacturers of defective parts, and even government entities responsible for road maintenance. Establishing liability requires a thorough investigation into the cause of the accident, including factors such as driver negligence, vehicle maintenance records, and compliance with safety regulations.
How can I prove negligence in a truck accident case in Ontario?
Proving negligence in a truck accident case requires demonstrating that the at-fault party breached their duty of care, resulting in the accident and your injuries. This may involve gathering evidence such as accident reports, witness testimony, surveillance footage, and electronic data from the truck’s onboard systems. Additionally, conducting a thorough investigation into the truck driver’s background, including their driving history, compliance with hours-of-service regulations, and any history of safety violations, can help establish negligence. Working with an experienced truck accident lawyer who understands the nuances of California laws and regulations is essential for building a strong case.
How long does it typically take to resolve a truck accident case in Ontario?
The timeline for resolving a truck accident case in Ontario can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the case, the severity of injuries, and the willingness of the parties to negotiate. Some cases may be settled through negotiations with insurance companies relatively quickly, while others may require litigation, extending the process.
