Orange County Truck Accident Lawyer
18-wheelers, big rigs, and commercial trucks travel Orange County's freeways daily. When they cause a crash, Gallo Law holds the trucking companies and their insurers accountable.
Trucking Companies Have Legal Teams. You Need One Too.
Truck accident cases are fundamentally different from car accidents. The vehicles are heavier, the injuries are worse, the insurance policies are larger, and the defendants have more resources. Trucking companies deploy rapid response teams to the scene, sometimes before the ambulance arrives, to protect their interests — not yours.
Joseph Gallo understands federal trucking regulations, hours-of-service violations, black box data, and the complex web of liability involving drivers, carriers, brokers, and vehicle manufacturers. He moves fast to preserve critical evidence before it disappears.
Trucking companies send investigators to the scene within hours. You need an attorney who moves just as fast.
