Los Angeles Truck Accident Attorneys – Protecting Victims of Catastrophic Collisions
When an 80,000-pound commercial truck collides with a passenger vehicle, the results are often devastating. Unlike standard car accidents, truck accidents involve unique challenges: multiple liable parties, federal safety regulations, and high-powered insurance companies determined to limit their payouts. At Lahmani Law, we understand the complexities of truck accident litigation and fight relentlessly to protect the rights of victims and their families across Los Angeles and Southern California.
Why Truck Accidents Are Different
Truck accident cases are not the same as typical auto collisions. Several factors make them far more complex:
-
Size and Weight: A fully loaded semi-truck can weigh 20–30 times more than a passenger car, leading to catastrophic injuries even in low-speed crashes.
-
Multiple Liable Parties: Responsibility may fall on the driver, trucking company, maintenance provider, or even the manufacturer of defective parts.
-
Federal and State Regulations: Trucking is governed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Violations of hours-of-service rules, maintenance schedules, or weight limits often play a role.
-
Aggressive Defense Teams: Trucking companies and their insurers have deep resources and legal teams ready to dispute claims immediately after an accident.
This complexity makes it critical to work with a law firm experienced in handling large-scale accident claims.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
At Lahmani Law, we thoroughly investigate every accident to identify exactly what went wrong. Common causes we see include:
-
Driver fatigue due to long hours behind the wheel
-
Distracted or impaired driving
-
Speeding or reckless driving to meet delivery deadlines
-
Poor maintenance, such as faulty brakes or worn tires
-
Improper cargo loading, leading to rollovers or jackknifes
-
Negligent hiring and training practices by trucking companies
Each case requires a detailed review of logbooks, black box data, maintenance records, and driver history to uncover the truth.
Injuries in Truck Accidents
Due to the sheer force involved, injuries from truck accidents are often catastrophic or fatal. Our clients often face:
-
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
-
Spinal cord damage and paralysis
-
Severe fractures and orthopedic injuries
-
Internal organ damage
-
Burn injuries from explosions or fuel fires
-
Wrongful death claims brought by grieving families
The physical, emotional, and financial toll of these injuries can last a lifetime.
Compensation for Truck Accident Victims
Victims of truck accidents may be entitled to significant compensation, which can include:
-
Medical expenses (emergency treatment, hospitalization, long-term care, rehabilitation)
-
Lost wages and loss of future earning potential
-
Pain and suffering
-
Emotional distress and trauma
-
Property damage
-
Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
At Lahmani Law, we fight to recover the full value of your losses, not just what the insurance company offers.
