What crashes are on C & H Lines's federal record?
A January 22, 2026 crash in CA is on file — recorded as injury, with 1 person injured, and a vehicle towed disabled from the scene.
Why these columns: a crash enters the federal file only when it involved a death, an injury taken for immediate medical care, or a vehicle towed disabled from the scene — the federal reportable-crash threshold. Property-damage-only crashes below that threshold are not in this record.

What these records mean if you were injured
Fleet-wide averages don't decide individual cases. Liability turns on what this specific driver, dispatcher, and truck's logs show in the hours before your crash.
1 federal inspection on record in the past two years — too few for a reliable comparison.
No active liability filing on federal record — this matters for any claim.
In California, a personal-injury lawsuit must generally be filed within 2 years of the crash.
For the most recent crash on this record, that general window runs to about Jan 2028.
There are exceptions — which ones apply to your case is a lawyer's job.

This record is attached to your submission — your attorney starts with the evidence already pulled.
Why timing matters
State law may give you years to file a claim — but the evidence often doesn't last that long. Dashcam and onboard data can be overwritten within days. Federal rules require carriers to keep a driver's electronic logs (ELD) for only six months; after that, deletion is lawful. A preservation letter from an attorney puts the carrier on formal notice — destroying evidence after that point risks court sanctions.
