Truck Accident Lawyers in Los Angeles, CA

Millions of massive trucks and 18-wheelers traverse Los Angeles highways and thoroughfares, frequently transporting goods in and out of the region. While these commercial fleets are vital to commerce and business, truck crashes are 41% more likely to result in severe injuries or death compared to standard motor vehicle collisions due to their large size and weight.

The seasoned truck accident lawyers at Moseley Collins Law have helped hundreds secure millions in compensation over our 40+ year history nationwide. If you or a loved one has sustained catastrophic injuries in an LA truck collision, reach out today for a free review of your case from a dedicated legal professional.

The numbers of traffic accidents in Los Angeles are staggering, topping 260,000 per year. Motor vehicle crashes remain a leading cause of expensive hospitalizations and life-altering trauma in the region.

While truck accidents make up just 3% of all collisions annually in LA County, the consequences are often much more devastating due to physics. When 80,000-pound rigs crash at high speeds, their mass and momentum can crush regular passenger cars and cause:

• Catastrophic injuries like brain damage, paralysis, amputation, and internal organ damage
• Disfigurement from severe burns
• Spinal injuries like herniated discs, nerve impingements, and broken vertebrae requiring extensive surgery
• Wrongful death of family members

Moseley Collins Law's accomplished truck accident lawyers have won millions for those catastrophically harmed in wrecks across California.

All trucking companies and drivers must follow federal, state, county, and city laws regulating licensing, training, inspections, maintenance, weight limits, rest rules, and more.

• Subcontractor negligence—short-cuts fixing trailers or loads

Our veteran LA truck crash lawyers thoroughly investigate to pinpoint exactly why wrecks occurred. We then work relentlessly, leaving no stone unturned, to deliver justice and full remuneration to harmed clients.

Always seek urgent medical intervention immediately after any accident involving a large truck or commercial vehicle. Truck wrecks frequently spur delayed pain or hidden compensable damages only revealed via prompt diagnosis. Always contact police after crashes to accurately report commercial trucks involved and preserve important evidence.

Loaded tractor trailers can reach 80,000 pounds versus only 4,000 for regular cars. Their mass yields highway havoc when drivers lose control. Trucks require vast distances over 393 feet to brake from 60 mph versus only 316 feet for passenger cars. Better LA braking only provides a slim buffer given their pace and weight. Slow reaction times or distracted driving spells tragedy for motorists nearby as physics take over.

Rigorous federal Hours of Service rules regulate how long truckers drive to deter drowsy journeys. However, some try “beating the clock” by falsifying logbooks. Drowsy big rig operators unable to react quickly enough often rear-end passenger vehicles at high speeds during traffic jams already prevalent via LA congestion.

Lackadaisical repair schedules and worn tires or faulty brakes prompt catastrophic crashes. Plaintiffs may pursue trucking firms for neglecting proper maintenance or inspections under regulations.

Port truck traffic moves immense loads of risky materials like fuel, chemicals, or waste raising public, roadway, and environmental dangers during mishaps especially on LA's overloaded interchange ramps. Potential chemical exposure requires urgent testing and monitoring post-accident.

Top-heavy from towering cargo, trucks flip over with abrupt directing changes or speeding on curves given a more elevated center of gravity. Unsecured heavy loads readily shift causing rollovers crushing smaller vehicles nearby.

Longer trailers and tractors swerving at high speeds bend into “jackknife” angles smashing into cars along their side. Or autos slide under rear guards riding beneath trucks with underride often yielding horrible passenger compartment intrusion trauma.
