Victorville Truck Accident Attorney

Victorville is a logistics city. The I-15 and US-395 split here, SR-18 (Palmdale Road) feeds trucks east and west across the valley, and the warehouses, rail yard and Southern California Logistics Airport off Air Expressway put box trucks, tractor-trailers and tanker trucks on Amargosa Road, Seventh Street, Roy Rogers Drive and Bear Valley Road all day. Freight between the Los Angeles basin and Las Vegas rolls through on the I-15 around the clock, and the Nisqualli Road, Bear Valley Road and Roy Rogers Drive interchanges are where that traffic meets local drivers.

The firm’s coverage shows the kinds of truck crashes that happen here: two men were hurt when a car collided with a tractor-trailer on Seventh Avenue in Victorville in September 2026, a semi crossed into oncoming traffic on Palmdale Road in neighboring Adelanto and killed a driver, and a pedestrian was killed by a box truck on Air Expressway. In the 2023 California Office of Traffic Safety rankings Victorville recorded 89 speed-related crashes (29th of 62 comparable cities) and ranked 8th for DUI arrests. A heavy truck at speed on Bear Valley Road or SR-18 is the worst-case version of both numbers.

Where you are treated and where the case is filed both matter. Victorville has two emergency rooms — Victor Valley Global Medical Center and Desert Valley Hospital — and Providence St. Mary Medical Center is in neighboring Apple Valley, but the nearest trauma centers are down the Cajon Pass: Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton (Level II) and Loma Linda University Medical Center (Level I). That is why so many serious Victorville crashes end with a helicopter. If the claim does not settle, the lawsuit is filed in the Victorville courthouse of the San Bernardino County Superior Court (14455 Civic Drive, Victorville, CA 92392), a few minutes from the crash sites on this page; injury cases from across the Victor Valley are heard there.

1. Get medical care the same day, even if you think you are fine. Adrenaline hides injuries, and a gap between the crash and the first visit is the first thing an adjuster uses against you.
2. Call 911 and get the report number. Crashes on the I-15, US-395 and the state routes are handled by the CHP Victorville Area office; crashes on city streets by San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, Victorville Station.
3. Photograph the truck — the cab, the trailer, the DOT and carrier numbers on the door, the license plates, the tires and the load — plus the road, the debris field and your injuries. Get the driver’s name, employer and insurance, and the names and phone numbers of witnesses.
4. Do not give a recorded statement to the other side’s insurer, and do not post about the crash on social media. You are not required to give a statement, and anything you say is used to reduce the claim.
5. Do not sign anything from the trucking company or its insurer. Their adjusters often arrive at the hospital with a release and a check; the amount is never close to the value of a serious truck injury.
6. Keep every bill, pharmacy receipt, work note and invoice, and write down what you remember of the crash while it is fresh — the time, the weather, what the other driver said.
7. Call Beverly Law before you accept any offer. The first offer arrives before anyone knows the full extent of the injury, and accepting it closes the claim permanently. A free consultation costs nothing; no attorney fee unless we win. Whether case costs are deducted from a recovery is explained in your written fee agreement.

Truck claims are fought against a carrier, its insurer and sometimes a rapid-response team that reached the scene before the tow truck. We answer with our own investigation: a preservation demand for the electronic logging device data, dash-cam and telematics, the driver qualification file, the post-crash inspection and the carrier’s maintenance records; a reconstruction of the crash on the I-15, US-395 or the surface street where it happened; and a claim against every responsible company — driver, carrier, broker, shipper or maintenance contractor.

The attorney. Cases are handled under Michael Shemtoub, Esq., California State Bar #253948, admitted in 2007 (UC Hastings College of the Law, 2006). He worked for a federal judge and as a corporate attorney before founding Beverly Law in 2008, was named a Rising Star by Super Lawyers in 2015, 2016 and 2017, and holds a 10.0 “Superb” Avvo rating. The firm has 4.8 stars from 600+ Google reviews.

How a case moves. Free consultation by phone, video or in person. We sign a written contingency agreement, then open the claims, get the collision report and medical records, and tell you honestly what the case is worth once treatment is far enough along. Most claims settle with the insurer; if they do not, we file in the Victorville courthouse of the San Bernardino County Superior Court (14455 Civic Drive, Victorville, CA 92392), a few minutes from the crash sites on this page and prepare for trial. A straightforward claim can resolve in months; a litigated case in San Bernardino County commonly takes one to two years. Pre-settlement funding is possible in some cases. We help with the vehicle repair and rental, talk to your doctors about treating on a lien, and return calls in English or Spanish.

Fees. No attorney fee unless we win. Whether case costs are deducted from a recovery is explained in your written fee agreement. The percentage is agreed in writing before we start.
