When You Need a Los Angeles Commercial Vehicle Accident Lawyer

According to statistics from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, large truck and bus fatalities have increased annually nationwide. Compared to the national numbers, Los Angeles County is one of the worst regions in terms of accidents and fatalities, and by far the worst in the state of California.

Los Angeles, with its massive sprawl and densely populated urban areas, is crisscrossed by several major interstates, including the 5, the 10, and the 15. Our freeways see more commercial vehicles than most other parts of the country, so there has been an increased need for commercial truck accident lawyers in Los Angeles. In addition to the standard semis, there are construction vehicles, flatbed trucks, fuel tankers, delivery trucks, U-Hauls, and more.

Who Can Be Held Responsible for a Truck or Big Rig Accident?

Truck accidents are a problem with no easy solution. Truck drivers cover long distances every day while hauling massive loads. Because the trucker sits so high up in the vehicle’s cab and because the trailers can obscure views, the smallest human error can end in a collision.

When multiple parties are involved in a truck accident, assigning blame can be complicated. In many cases, negligence can be divided. Drivers who disobey traffic laws, drive recklessly, or fail to follow company protocols can be at fault. Intoxicated driving or driving while distracted are problems afflicting commercial truck drivers at a high rate. Companies with commercial trucking fleets may have failed to maintain their vehicles, or improperly supervised their drivers. A faulty or defective product from a manufacturer could have contributed to the accident (this is especially true with blown tires, a leading cause of truck crashes).

The responsible parties may include the driver, the trucking company, the company in charge of maintaining or repairing the vehicle, the company that designed a faulty product, or even a government agency that failed to properly maintain safe roads or highways.

If you’ve been injured in a collision with a truck, get legal help as soon as possible from a truck accident attorney in Los Angeles from a specialized truck accident law firm. Proving fault in an accident involving a commercial vehicle is much more difficult than proving fault in a regular motor vehicle crash. There may be multiple insurance companies or unions that have a vested interest in the outcome, and they’ll fight to protect those interests, which is where a Los Angeles big rig accident attorney can help you navigate potential options to move forward.

What Should I Do After Being in a Trucking Accident?

If you are involved in a trucking accident in Los Angeles, the first thing you need to do is stay calm and seek help immediately. Medical help first, and then tough legal help. Trucking companies are aggressive about protecting their interests, and they will seek to deny fault for the crash and blame you as soon as possible.

Since a trucking accident means that a driver crashed while on the clock, it’s a lot more complex to deal with than any other car accident. If the truck driver is found to be at fault, the company knows it will have to pay the victim from its multi-million dollar insurance policy. Because of that, several insurance companies will be involved, and they will try to pressure you into admitting blame for the accident. You do not want to be pressured into agreeing to something that will make you lose compensation that you deserve.

You need a law firm like NOVIK LAW GROUP, A Professional Corporation, to help you navigate your case and receive the best possible outcome. Contact us for a free consultation from the best truck accident attorney in LA. If you are too injured to come to our office, we will come to you. Our goal is to make this process as easy for you as possible.

What Causes Truckers to Crash?

There are many factors that causes truck drivers to get into accidents, and the majority of the time, they are preventable. The most common truck driver errors are:

  • Not paying attention (daydreaming, thinking about something else)
  • Mobile phone use (calling, texting, etc.)
  • Drugs or alcohol use
  • Lack of training (inexperience)
  • Lack of sleep/overworking

 

Many truckers suffer from chronic sleep deprivation, which makes them make little mistakes, cut corners, and react slowly to the changing situation outside the vehicle. The federal government has hours of service rules dictating how long a trucker is allowed to drive, but many drivers and companies push past these boundaries in their pursuit of more profit.
