Los Angeles
Truck Accident Attorney

Los Angeles Truck Accident

Commercial big rig truck accidents regularly result in severe injuries and deaths for occupants of traditional passenger vehicles. Unfortunately, these accidents are more common than most people realize. At the Law Offices of Howard Kornberg, we are here to help if you need an experienced and skilled truck accident attorney in Los Angeles by your side.

Any accident involving a large truck or commercial vehicle adds complexity to the investigation. A trucker involved in a tractor-trailer accident knows his or her livelihood is on the line and will look for ways to avoid responsibility and save his job. Trucking companies often launch immediate investigations to look for any way possible to avoid liability. The insurance companies are in business to make a profit and look at every angle to deny claims or minimize payments. The big trucking companies’ risk avoidance efforts result in many layers of potential defendants that need to be analyzed and unraveled to develop comprehensive legal strategies to obtain an effective and favorable outcome for tractor-trailer accident victims.

A Track Record Of Success Spanning More Than 35 Years In Los Angeles

For more than 35 years, The Law Offices of Howard Kornberg in Los Angeles, California, has served as an exceptional legal resource for truck accident victims and their families to take on big business. Our truck accident attorney in Los Angeles is an exceptional trial attorney who knows how to win. Our track record of success is based upon hard work, substantial experience, and proven skills in obtaining favorable settlements and jury verdicts in complex truck accident litigation.

We take pride in winning. We want to help you. The truck companies and insurance defense industry know that we come well-prepared to achieve results — no matter how difficult the case may seem.

We investigate all potential defendants for negligence surrounding the wreck. The wide range of potential issues includes:

  • Distracted or inattentive driving
  • Truck driver fatigue, including problems caused by too many hours on the road
  • Driver impairment
  • Improper truck maintenance
  • Improper hiring, training, or supervision
  • Unsafe loads
  • Violations of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration standards

Motorists in ordinary cars, riders on a motorcycle, pedestrians, or anyone who is hit by a truck is no match for the power and mass of a big rig. The injuries in a semi-truck accident are frequently catastrophic and may be fatal. Medical bills pile up quickly. The need for long-term treatment, rehabilitation, and modifications to housing are likely after a serious 18-wheeler accident. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury in a truck accident, it is critical for you to work with a legal team with the resources, knowledge, and experience to get the full and fair compensation you need to get your life back on track.

MOST COMMON LOS ANGELES TRUCK ACCIDENT INJURIES

The attorneys at the Law Offices of Howard Kornberg have extensive experience helping clients who have sustained a range of injuries due to a truck accident. It is not uncommon for us to help victims who have sustained the following:

Our Los Angeles truck accident attorney also recognizes that truck accident injury victims regularly suffer from significant emotional and psychological trauma as a result of the accident, their injuries, and their recovery. We strive to recover compensation for all of our client’s injuries, both physical and non-physical.

WHAT TYPE OF COMPENSATION IS AVAILABLE FOR A LOS ANGELES TRUCK ACCIDENT CLAIM?

There may be various types of compensation available to victims of these accidents. The Los Angeles truck accident lawyer at the Law Offices of Howard Kornberg are regularly able to help clients recover the following:

  • Full compensation for their medical bills
  • Lost past and future income if they cannot work
  • Any household out-of-pocket expenses
  • Property damage expenses
  • Pain and suffering damages
  • Loss of quality of life damages
  • Possible punitive damages against a malicious or despicable truck driver or trucking company

The total amount of compensation available in the aftermath of a truck accident will vary depending on the facts and circumstances surrounding each particular case. Some of the factors that significantly affect the total compensation include the severity of the injuries, the fault of every party involved, and the insurance coverage limits of the parties involved.

DEADLINE TO FILE A LOS ANGELES TRUCK ACCIDENT CLAIM

It is crucial for Los Angeles truck accident victims to understand that they have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit in these cases. The California personal injury statute of limitations is two years from the date an accident occurs. This means that a truck accident victim has a two-year window with which to file a lawsuit against the alleged negligent driver or company. If the accident was caused by a truck driver working for a government entity that a government written claim must be filed within 6 months or the case will be lost.

If a victim fails to file a lawsuit or government claim within this time frame, they will lose any ability to recover the compensation they deserve.

However, we need to point out that this does not apply to any deadlines put in place by the insurance carriers involved in the accident. Insurance carriers typically require that claims be filed within a short amount of time after the accident occurs, or the claim could be delayed or denied altogether.
