 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. With LLN attorneys Harry and Gerardo I never had to worry. I never had to worry about whether LLN is going get me the best settlement possible…or rollover at the first offer. Harry and Gerardo have a simple action plan. Present the case for negotiation. If that’s not respected then go to trial. After I signed up with LLN I was introduced to the entire team on a Zoom call. I was told who was responsible for what. I was told where things happen, when things happen, and how they happen. I downloaded the LLN app, and if I needed to reach anyone I simply messaged them and someone got back to me in a timely manner. I always had the option to call if necessary. What I didn’t have to deal with is a guy on a billboard telling me how cool and tough they are. The same guy that calls right away when the slightest pushback happens telling me I need to settle. LLN are trial attorneys who actually go to trial against the opposition. It seems like most other law firms only go to trial when they’re suing their own law partner. How many billboards have I driven past? How many buses with advertisement on the side? How many TV commercials telling me how “they’re gonna fight for my whatever”. It doesn’t happen… and it’s all smoke and mirrors with a majority of the attorneys out there. I believe the attorneys at LLN didn’t do this just for me. LLN operates the way they do because they have pride in their work and self-respect. They have a reputation to uphold, not only with their clients but also with their colleagues and their peers. How do I know this? Because I saw them interact with mediators and judges. I saw how they were treated by the people making the decisions. They have their respect. It’s critical to note that I had realistic expectations for my settlement. For me it was all about finding the sweet spot. The trade-off between a long trial and a verdict, or taking what quite possibly is just as close an offer and settling much earlier while minimizing risk. Once I made a decision I did not look back. The attorneys at LLN are realistic. They stated ‘this is what we have’ , ‘this is what we don’t have’, and ‘this is what we might be able to achieve’ . I made a decision with as much informed consent as possible. I can live with that.

Client Success: $3,856,516.90 Jury Verdict After Box Truck Rear End

Types of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can be categorized as blind spot, rollover, side impact, and overloaded.

Blind spots are called no-zones by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration because they are areas the trucker cannot see. Truck no-zones include 20 feet in front of the cab, behind and under the passenger-side mirror, beneath, behind, and across the adjoining lane from the trucker’s side mirror, and up to 30 feet behind the truck and trailer.

Rollover accidents happen when a trucker is not driving responsibly and is either tired, distracted, overcorrects for locked brakes, or is exceeding the speed limit or a safe speed for inclement weather. Rollovers are extremely dangerous because the truck continues to careen out of control into motorists sharing the road.

Side impact wrecks, also called T-bone wrecks, are usually caused by truck driver error. When a trucker T-bones a motorist, it is usually fatal or at least catastrophic. Trucker error can be blamed on skirting safe-driving rules to deliver cargo more quickly, often with a bonus involved.

Overloaded or overweight trucks are extremely hard on brakes and can realign the truck’s center of gravity, making it difficult to control. Any of these accidents are based on trucker or trucking company negligence, which our Los Angeles attorneys could establish to seek the compensation you will need to put your life back together.

What Should a Person Do After a Truck Accident?

Seek emergency medical help immediately after being involved in a truck accident, even if you believe your injuries are minor. A bystander should call 911 if you cannot. Brain trauma may not be readily discernible for hours because the brain continues to swell. Getting emergency care could be the difference between life and death.

Witnesses and those injured are expected to share personal and insurance coverage information while waiting for law enforcement and medical help to respond to a 911 call. Law enforcement will interview those on the scene. Make sure to get a copy of the police report, which can serve as evidence in a personal injury claim.

Additionally, accumulate all information pertinent to a truck accident and save it for our attorneys in Los Angeles to interpret. This includes medical and police reports, communications with insurers, witness contact information, cell phone videos or pictures, and receipts for expenses relative to the accident and injuries.

Common Causes of Truck Crashes

Though truck accidents do not occur as frequently as passenger car accidents, they are still a serious and sometimes fatal possibility.

Truck accidents are often caused by:

Fatigued drivers who operate their trucks longer than is legally allowed
Overloaded vehicles
Drunk driving
Improperly trained or unqualified drivers
Distracted driving
Defective truck equipment
Aggressive driving

Depending on the circumstances of the truck wreck, a Los Angeles attorney will use a variety of means – such as witness testimonies, the truck’s black-box data, and consultations with an accident reconstructionist – to build a strong case on your behalf.

Common Truck Accident Injuries

Truck crash injuries are life-altering in their severity and are often catastrophic, which, according to the medical community, means impact to the spine, spinal cord, and brain. Legal scholars expand the definition to include any injury that interferes with the injured person returning to full-time work. Some common truck accident injuries include:

Damage to the spinal cord resulting in paralysis
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Severe burns
Numerous crushed or broken bones
Loss of any of the five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch
Internal organ damage
Amputated limbs

Because of the severity of these injuries, our lawyers are very precise when determining how much compensation a client will need and who the appropriate defendants are after a Los Angeles truck accident.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

In a truck accident case, it is not just the driver who could be at fault. In fact, many of the truck accident cases our lawyers in Los Angeles pursue are not directed at the driver himself.

We may also be able to pursue a case against other parties, such as:

The trucking company
The truck driver’s employer
The vehicle manufacturer
The truck’s primary mechanic
Government entities

Truck Accident Liability Examples

Negligent or reckless driving: If the truck driver was driving in a reckless or negligent manner, such as speeding or texting while driving, they may be found at fault for the accident.
Vehicle maintenance: If the trucking company failed to properly maintain the vehicle, resulting in a mechanical failure that caused the accident, liability may fall on the company.
Improper loading: In some cases, the party responsible for loading the truck is liable for not properly securing or balancing the load.
Road conditions: If the accident was caused by poor road conditions, the government agency responsible for maintaining the road could be liable for the accident and any related injuries.

Get the Compensation You Deserve

After suffering personal injury in a truck accident, you are probably facing mounting medical bills, lost wages, severe pain, and mental anguish. You deserve compensation to cover these injustices and to help you move on from this incident. With LNN by your side, you stand a better chance of recovering the maximum compensation possible. Our truck crash lawyers in Los Angeles are not afraid to go up against the trucking company or the insurance company to help you achieve a positive resolution.

Compensation after a truck accident may be sought from the trucking company’s insurer since commercial carriers are required to carry a minimum of liability insurance that is much higher than motorist coverage. However, insurers are known for pitching lowball settlement offers because their bottom line is more important than your injuries.

Our attorneys are experienced negotiators and litigators, and we will seek the money you deserve to pay for medical care, cover the wages you lose from being unable to work, and pay for your property damage. Also, we fight for subjective losses, such as the pain you are enduring from your injuries, the emotional trauma of living with disfigurement, and the loss of the enjoyment of your family. In some cases, punitive damages may be available, and if your case qualifies, we will fight for it.

Truck Collision Statute of Limitations

Truck accident victims have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit. This is called the “statute of limitations.” In California, the statute of limitations for truck accident claims is two years from the date of the accident. This means that truck accident victims have two years to file a lawsuit against the truck driver, company, or other parties responsible for the accident.

If you or a loved one have been involved in a truck accident, it is important to consult with an experienced Los Angeles attorney as soon as possible to ensure that your claim is filed within the applicable statute of limitations.

Why Truck Accident Cases Are Different

Truck accidents are not simply larger-scale car crashes – they involve distinct legal, regulatory, and evidentiary complexities that ordinary motor-vehicle collisions do not. For example:

Commercial trucks are governed by both state and federal regulations (such as driving hours, weight limits, cargo securement, maintenance logs, and electronic logging devices). A violation of those rules can create an additional basis of liability beyond simple negligence.
Multiple responsible parties are often involved: the truck driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, the maintenance firm, and sometimes the manufacturer of a faulty component. Holding all liable parties accountable is crucial to securing fair compensation.
Because trucks weigh tens of thousands of pounds more than typical passenger vehicles, the damage and injuries are often catastrophic (brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, long-term rehabilitation). That increases the stakes for the victim and demands more intensive legal work.
Trucking companies and their insurers tend to mount rapid, aggressive responses to crash claims (including preservation of data, black-box downloads, driver logs, video evidence). If you wait too long, key evidence may be lost.
As a Los Angeles firm with experience handling truck-accident claims, our lawyers know how to identify these special issues early, bring in the right experts, and navigate the complex insurance and regulatory terrain.

Investigation and Evidence Process

When a truck accident happens, the investigation must begin promptly. At LNN, we treat the early phase of your case as the most critical. Our process typically includes:

Securing and Preserving Evidence

We immediately request the trucking company’s driver logs, electronic logging device (ELD) records, maintenance and inspection files, GPS/location records, and onboard video, when available. We demand that the trucking carrier preserve the black box or event data recorder in the truck or trailer.

Scene Inspection and Reconstruction

Our team works with accident-reconstruction experts to examine the crash site (skid marks, vehicle positions, road conditions, blind-spot issues, rollover dynamics). We monitor local traffic camera footage, highway patrol reports, and witness statements.

Identifying all Potential Defendants

Beyond the driver, we investigate whether the trucking company failed to hire qualified drivers, circumvented hours-of-service rules, overloaded the truck, neglected maintenance, or improperly secured cargo. We also look at third parties, such as cargo loaders or manufacturers.

Medical and Economic Damage Documentation

We coordinate with medical professionals to document your injuries, needed treatments, rehabilitation costs, and future care needs. We also work with vocational experts to quantify lost wages and lost earning capacity.

Negotiation with Insurers or Preparation for Trial

With the evidence compiled, we aggressively engage the insurer of the trucking carrier, highlighting regulatory violations, driver records, maintenance failures and expert opinions. If a fair settlement is not offered, we are ready to move to court.

Trial Readiness

Because trucking-carrier insurers often defend aggressively, our Los Angeles attorneys prepare each case as though it will go to trial, which strengthens our negotiating position.

Accusations of Comparative Fault

Your case may be subject to comparative fault (also called comparative negligence). That means even if you share some responsibility for the crash, you may still recover compensation—though your payout can be reduced in proportion to your share of fault. In the context of truck-accident litigation, this issue deserves careful analysis.

Suppose a truck driver failed to yield, and you were driving in the blind spot of the 18-wheeler. The trucking company may argue that you should have been more vigilant or stayed further back.

Your lawyer must examine what percentage of fault belongs to each party—including the truck driver, the trucking company, and you—and seek to minimize your fault percentage. A high fault percentage on your part can drastically reduce your compensation.

Our Los Angeles attorneys at LNN evaluate early on how comparative fault might apply and collect evidence to mitigate your responsibility (for example, proving the truck’s blind-spot design or overloaded trailer made the crash unavoidable). We also educate you about how your actions after the crash (such as delaying medical treatment or admitting fault at the scene) may affect the insurer’s view of your claim and influence the fault assessment.

Even if you have some fault, you should still consult an experienced truck-accident lawyer—because fully understanding and reducing comparative fault can have a significant impact on the value of your case.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY?

Personal injury cases are some of the most common civil litigation cases—also known as “tort actions” or “lawsuits”—in the United States. They are filed by individuals who have experienced bodily injury, pain and suffering, and sometimes property damage in an accident caused by a negligent third party. These claims can also be filed for intentional harm or defamation of character by a third party.

DO I NEED TO HIRE A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY?

While you are not required to have an attorney to file a claim, having an attorney can make a significant difference in your claim. A personal injury attorney has a deep understanding of the claims process and can help you navigate the complexities of the law. Your attorney can also help you level the playing field with insurers and can tell you whether you are receiving the maximum compensation to which you are legally entitled.

I HAVE BEEN INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT – WHAT DO I DO NEXT?

If you have been injured in an accident that was no fault of your own, there are steps you should take to ensure you are compensated for costs related to the incident. Taking quick action after your accident can profoundly affect your personal injury claim or lawsuit. After being involved in an accident, you should: Seek medical attention for your injuries, even if symptoms are not immediately apparent. Keep a record of your injuries and note any complications that arise because of your injuries. Report the incident as soon as possible after it occurs. Record detailed descriptions and notes about the facts of the incident. Keep receipts of medication and medical care you received Contact an experienced personal injury attorney in Los Angeles who can help you navigate your claim.

WILL MY PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM GO TO TRIAL?

Not all personal injury claims make it to court. In fact, a majority of injury cases are settled without having to litigate. What’s the difference between a settlement and going to trial? What are the pros and cons of each? There are two ways in which compensation can be awarded to you for your claim: through a settlement or by going to trial. There are pros and cons to each. When your claim is settled, the compensation for your claim is decided outside of court, usually through negotiations between lawyers.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FILE A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?

In California, you have two years to file a personal injury claim against an individual or non-government entity. If the injury is not immediately known, you have one year from the date the injury is discovered. If you’ve suffered injuries from an accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you should act quickly to ensure you are able to recover compensation for your losses.

Notifying Insurance Companies

You should notify your insurance company and the responsible party’s insurance company as soon as possible after your accident. Most insurance companies request that you file your claim within 24 – 48 hours after your accident. When you file a personal injury insurance claim, you are requesting that the at-fault party’s insurance pay for the losses you suffered as a result of your accident, and the compensation amount is determined during negotiations. Seeking Compensation You can get financial compensation in two ways: filing a personal injury insurance claim or filing a personal injury lawsuit. Generally, compensation can be sought for two types of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are those with a measurable monetary value, such as medical expenses and lost wages. On the other hand, non-economic damages refer to losses that cannot be easily quantified, such as pain and suffering or emotional distress. It is important to understand the types of damages available in your case so that you can seek compensation for all of your related losses. Soon after your accident, contact a knowledgeable personal injury attorney in Los Angeles who can explain the time limits to you and help you get the compensation you deserve.

How Much is Your Truck Accident Worth?

Truck accident cases vary widely in terms of their value. Factors that can affect the value of a truck accident case include the severity of the injuries suffered, the amount of medical bills and other damages incurred, the liability of the truck driver and trucking company, and the jurisdiction in which the case is filed.

In general, however, truck accident cases are worth more than car accident cases because truckers are held to a higher standard of care than regular drivers. That said, the actual value of your individual case is dependent on many factors and the best way to understand your legal options is to speak with an attorney.
