Encino Underride Accident Lawyer
Sharing the 101 Freeway in Encino with massive commercial trucks is a daily necessity, but it comes with a terrifying risk. When a passenger vehicle collides with a semi-truck and slides underneath the trailer, the results are uniquely devastating. These “underride” crashes shear off the top of the smaller car, bypassing crumple zones and airbags.
Trucking corporations know exactly how catastrophic these collisions are, and their defense teams will immediately go on the attack. They will falsely claim you were tailgating, speeding, or simply not paying attention. Their goal is to shift the blame to you and protect their billion-dollar insurance policies. At NOVIK LAW GROUP, we silence their excuses. If you need a relentless underride accident attorney in Encino, our legal team knows how to prove corporate negligence, defeat their defense tactics, and secure the massive financial compensation you require to survive and rebuild.

Exposing Safety Guard Failures
Commercial trailers are legally required to have rear underride guards to stop cars from sliding underneath. However, trucking companies frequently let these guards rust, bend, or fail entirely just to save money on maintenance. We bring in top engineers to inspect the trailer and prove that a defective or poorly maintained guard caused your catastrophic injuries.
Corporate adjusters will automatically argue that you caused the crash by following too closely. We do not let them rewrite history. Our team aggressively hunts for evidence like missing reflective tape, broken brake lights, or dashcam footage proving the truck driver illegally cut you off on Ventura Boulevard and slammed on their brakes.
Surviving an underride crash means facing astronomical medical bills. You should never have to drain your savings to fight a logistics company. We operate on a strict contingency fee basis, meaning we front all the investigative costs and you pay absolutely nothing unless we win a massive settlement or trial verdict for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more by reading some of the most commonly asked questions we receive at our office.
What is the difference between a side and rear underride crash?
A rear underride happens when a car strikes the back of a trailer and slides under. A side underride frequently occurs when a truck driver attempts an illegal or overly wide U-turn across lanes on a busy street like Balboa Boulevard, blocking the road and leaving oncoming drivers no time to stop before sliding under the side of the trailer. Both are incredibly deadly, and we investigate both relentlessly.
If I rear-ended the truck, can I still get compensation?
Yes. While insurance companies want you to believe rear-ending a vehicle automatically makes you 100 percent liable, commercial trucks are held to different standards. If the truck had broken taillights, lacked federally mandated reflective conspicuity tape, or the driver parked illegally on a dark Encino off-ramp without setting up warning flares, we can absolutely hold them financially responsible for the crash.
Why do I need to hire an attorney so quickly for an underride accident?
Evidence disappears faster in trucking cases than in any other type of personal injury claim. Within days of a crash, a trucking company might repair the broken underride guard, replace the missing reflective tape, and put the trailer right back into service to destroy the evidence. You must contact us immediately so we can send a legal spoliation letter forcing them to preserve the truck exactly as it was during the collision.
How do you calculate a settlement for such severe injuries?
Because underride crashes bypass a vehicle’s primary safety features, victims frequently suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord severing, or facial reconstruction needs. A quick, cheap settlement will leave you bankrupt in a few years. We work with life-care planners and medical economists to calculate the true cost of your lifelong medical care, specialized wheelchairs, home modifications, and profound pain and suffering, demanding nothing less from the insurance company.
