Los Angeles Truck Accident Attorney

Truck accidents are common in Los Angeles, with so many tractor-trailers on southern California freeways and highways. If you are the victim of a truck accident in Los Angeles, a truck accident lawyer at Estey & Bomberger can help you obtain the full and fair compensation you deserve for your medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering.

Causes of Los Angeles Truck Accidents

Every truck accident is different, and there are countless different causes of trucking accidents in Los Angeles. Some of the more common causes of Los Angeles truck accidents include:

1. Fatigue / Falling Asleep
2. Improper loading / Overloading
3. Speeding
4. Unsafe lane changes
5. Driver inattention
6. Driver use of amphetamines / alcohol
7. Failure to follow FMCSA regulations

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has established rules and regulations governing the trucking industry. These rules include "hours of service" regulations that dictate how many hours a trucker may operate a truck without taking a rest. At Estey & Bomberger, we frequently consult with FMCSA safety experts to determine if a trucker violated safety regulations in your accident.

Who is Responsible?

It is important to remember that the trucking company will vigorously defend their case. Most trucking companies have investigators retained who will immediately investigate an accident after it happens. It is important that you contact an attorney as soon as possible after a Los Angeles truck accident who will determine the cause of the accident and who was at fault. You may have a claim against numerous parties, including the truck driver, the trucking company, the owner of the truck or trailer, the shipping company, the manufacturer of the truck or trailer, and any other person or company who contributed to the accident.
