As with other commercial vehicle accidents, collisions with moving trucks are fraught with complications that will make you glad you have hired Compass Law Group to represent you.
Moving truck accidents tend to be more difficult to handle than car accidents because of the sight and weight differential of the vehicles involved, and because your adversary is likely to be a large moving corporation.

Determining liability in a moving truck accident may not be easy.
We will help you determine whether we should be filing a lawsuit against the driver’s insurance company, the moving company’s insurance company, the rental agency (such as U-Haul), the manufacturer, the repair service that last worked on the truck, or the government agency responsible for the road surface.
Circumstances such as whether the driver was actively working for the moving company (“within the scope of employment”) at the time of the accident, whether the brakes on the moving truck were defective when new or damaged by faulty repair, or whether the underlying cause of the accident was a large, unmarked pothole in the pavement — may come into play. In some instances, Compass Law Group will help you to file a lawsuit against more than one defendant.
Because of the service moving vans provide, they often travel longer distances than other vehicles and drivers may be especially fatigued, sleepy or distracted. This occurs even though there are federal and state laws regulating the hours truck drivers may work without a break. Also, because moving trucks are filled with furniture and other objects of random shapes, not regularly boxed merchandise, it is easier for their loads to become unbalanced if the driver finds it necessary to make a sharp turn or sudden stop.
In addition to the fact that a moving van is a cumbersome vehicle to drive at best, drivers of such vehicles are often maneuvering on unfamiliar roads and under the directions of GPS. They often cross-city or state lines and run the risk of breaking laws that differ from one place to another.
Similarly, moving trucks sometimes stop in places convenient for their unloading, but dangerous to others on the road. They may accidentally drop heavy beds or appliances, or such objects may obscure their view even as they walk. It is not unheard of for movers to bang into fences, mailboxes, small vehicles, or pedestrians under such circumstances. In some circumstances, large objects fall off moving vans while they are traveling, resulting in serious accidents.
Even by placing a heavy object on the road temporarily, a mover may contribute to a traffic accident. Though moving trucks, like other large vehicles with limited rear vision, have flashers and sound signals when they are backing up; nevertheless they sometimes hit smaller vehicles or pedestrians.

With Joseph Shirazi and Simon Esfandi at the helm, our firm is a trusted name in accident law in California.
After 10 accidents and 9 attorneys, the client met Simon, who stood out for his honesty and clear communication. Years later, after another accident, the client called Simon and was impressed by his professionalism and follow-through. Simon explained everything, connected him with top doctors, and kept every promise. It was the first time the client felt truly supported—highly recommending Simon and Joseph for their integrity and dedication.
Jacob was rear-ended by a big rig and left nearly paralyzed for a year. He found Cooper Law Group, and Joseph and Simon personally helped him through the legal process. Over two years, they ensured he got the medical care and surgeries he needed, helped repair his car, and secured the compensation he deserved. He highly recommends them for truly fighting for their clients.

Throughout the case, the team—Joseph, Simon, and Julie—provided support, regular check-ins, and made the client feel safe and cared for. They now consider the firm like family and highly recommend them for their compassion and competence.
