Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Rock from truck broke windshield

I was driving on the highway behind a big rig truck hauling two trailers going approximately 60-65 mph. A small rock fell from the rear trailer and hit my windshield putting a crack in it. What is the liability of the truck or trucking company?
