I'm sorry, but I have to side with the CHP and insurance. You were literally right on top of the truck before you even thought about swerving.
I think a lawyer will look at the video and say the same.

You saw the truck when the video started because you were already expecting to see it at some point. With the very light traffic, the OP was not expecting a stalled vehicle on the left lane. Ive been in a situation where a vehicle was stalled in a lane (no hazards on), and as I got closer realized it wasnt moving and didnt have much time at all do anything but slam on my brakes.
Regardless, that truck was destined to be hit by the OP or some other unfortunate motorist.
