Thanks. I did not look up California law and did use the disclaimer of to the best of my knowledge as my experience driving was over 30 years ago. I always felt there should be something on the books for trucks to make those damn turns. In that case then OP is lucky to get off with no ticket on top the damage.

Edit
Wait a second...

You said the "second" right turn lane. From the OP's description the truck turned from the centre straight lane across a double line. Not the same as a double right turn lane. Would think OP still had right of way?
