Truck Accident Lawyer in Los Angeles

About Truck Claims

Claims arising from truck accidents require a slightly different approach to those of other types of accidents.  The trucking industry is governed by unique laws which will affect the investigation of your case and the basis of your claim.  It is vital to have a Los Angeles injury attorney who is familiar with this area of practice in order to be effectively represented.  Trucking companies are also typically backed by insurance companies with significant resources and an unsympathetic approach. 

The legal team at The Law Office of Lee Arter has a firm grasp of the laws relevant to your incident and has no qualms about going head to head with the insurance company involved.  Our familiarity with the logistics of truck accidents greatly assists our investigations and ability to confidently defend your rights.  You may contact us to discuss your concerns and obtain a free initial case evaluation.  We do not charge any fee unless we succeed in recovering compensation for your accident.

Negligence in Truck Accidents

There are many forms of negligence which can cause truck accidents, whether on the part of the driver, the trucking company or a third party.  Some of these include:

• Driving while fatigued
• Driving recklessly or negligently
• Failing to observe correct truck load requirements
• Issuing dangerous schedules and unrealistic deadlines
• Failing to responsibly screen drivers during the hiring process
• Not providing sufficient training
• Failing to ensure sound vehicle repair and maintenance
• Manufacturing or selling defective truck parts

Our firm can arrange to review trucking company logs regarding maintenance, scheduling and employee records.  We may also review the scene of the accident and the vehicles involved and interview witnesses.  We will investigate your accident and collect any evidence that strengthens your case.  We file professionally drafted claims with full supporting evidence which often leads to an earlier resolution and fair settlement.
