Commercial truck accidents on LA's freeways cause some of the most catastrophic injuries we handle. Multiple parties may be liable, critical electronic evidence disappears fast, and the trucking company's legal team is ready from the moment of impact.
Attorney of the Year — California Lawyers Association No fee until we winTruck drivers and carriers must comply with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs), including strict hours-of-service limits. Violations are powerful evidence of negligence.
Beyond the driver, the trucking company, cargo loader, truck manufacturer, and maintenance contractor may all share responsibility. We identify every source of recovery.
ELD data, black box records, and dashcam footage can be overwritten quickly. We send litigation hold letters immediately to preserve evidence before it is gone.
Trucking companies carry insurance of $1M or more. Their adjusters and defense attorneys are working your case from minute one. We move just as fast.
Each collision type involves different evidence, different defendants, and different legal theories. We have handled them all on LA's most dangerous corridors.
When a car slides under a truck's trailer in a rear-end collision, injuries are often catastrophic. Underride guards are frequently inadequate.
When a truck's cab swings out from the trailer due to sudden braking or loss of traction, often blocking multiple lanes on LA freeways.
Caused by overloading, improper cargo distribution, high speeds, or sharp turns on freeway ramps and interchanges.
Trucks making right turns on city streets often swing left first, striking cyclists, pedestrians, and vehicles in adjacent lanes.
Inadequate maintenance, worn brakes, and defective tires can make a fully loaded truck impossible to stop in time.
Hours-of-service violations are common. A truck driver who has been on the road too long presents an extreme risk to everyone around them.
Evidence in truck accident cases, especially electronic data from the truck itself, has a short window. Here's what to do to protect your case.
Request police and emergency medical services. A police report and a medical record are the foundation of your case.
Truck accident injuries are often severe and not fully apparent right away. Be evaluated at the scene and follow up urgently.
Photograph vehicles, road conditions, cargo, truck markings, and license plates. Note the trucking company name on the trailer.
Their insurance team will be on scene quickly. Do not give any statement without an attorney present.
Keep all medical bills, the police report, and any correspondence from the trucking company or its insurer.
The faster we are involved, the better our chance of preserving black box data and ELD records before they are overwritten.
