Truck Accident

In the majority of commercial truck crashes, the injured victim was in a car or other vehicle—not in the truck. If you’re one of those victims, an East Los Angeles truck accident lawyer can help you get the compensation you need to recover.

• Identify the people and entities whose negligence may have indirectly led to your accident

• Determine the compensation you’re entitled to ask

• Prepare the paperwork

• Get in touch with the opposite parties to start negotiations

• File your case in court, if necessary

It’s important to gather as many facts as possible if you’re planning to file a compensation claim in a truck accident. A truck accident lawyer from Los Angeles can shoulder the responsibility and allow you to recover from your injuries in peace.

The following are some potential causes to consider before filing a truck crash personal injury claim:

• Inadequate Training – The driver who caused your accident might not have had the proper training or the proper license to drive such a large vehicle. This should be recorded in the police report.
• Unrealistic Schedules – Some trucking companies reward drivers for hurrying without considering the risks involved. Carelessness of this sort can lead to accidents.
• Unsecured Cargo –A loose load can result from a careless loading team or defective restraints. Unsecured cargo that causes an accident could incriminate a number of people, including the manufacturer of any defective parts.
• Distracted Driving –Cell phones can distract any driver, and truck drivers are no exception. Other causes of distracted truck driving include other passengers, navigation systems, and eating and drinking.
• Drowsy Driving – Federal regulations limit how many hours a driver can operate a truck without sleeping. The driver or trucking company can be held liable if these rules are violated.
• Dangerous Roads – Poor road conditions and improper roadside construction sites can cause accidents. Construction companies and government agencies can be held responsible in these cases.
