Given their large size and difficulty to maneuver, large trucks tend to cause more serious damage in collisions than other motor vehicles. Truck accidents often result in severe damage to property, serious injuries requiring lengthy medical treatment, and even death.
The law firm of HodesMilman in Newport Beach, California has represented many clients in their truck accident cases. Our attorneys have served the Los Angeles area and all of Southern California for more than 25 years and can help you obtain compensation for your injuries and other losses.
According to the most recent data available through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 385,000 accidents involving large trucks occurred nationwide in 2006. Of those large truck accidents, an estimated 80,000 resulted in some form of injury, and more than 4,700 proved fatal.
Our team of truck accident attorneys has helped clients in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California obtain compensation for severe injuries, loss of life, and other damages. Our Newport Beach, California office can provide you with a skilled truck accident lawyer who will ensure that the party or parties liable for your injuries are held accountable for their actions.
Accidents involving large trucks can be caused by a variety of factors, one of the most common of which is driver negligence. Given the sheer size of big rigs and semi trucks, drivers of such vehicles must exercise exceptional caution on the road, particularly when merging or making turns.
Driver fatigue is also another major contributor to truck accidents. If a trucking company forces its employees to drive through the night without sleep or to drive for prolonged periods of time without proper rest, the driver's weary state and impeded judgment may result in serious accidents on the road.
Additional causes of large truck accidents include jackknifing, unsecured trailers, poorly secured cargo on equipment or flatbed trailers, and improper vehicle maintenance.
If you have been involved in a serious collision in the greater Los Angeles or Newport Beach, California area, consult a truck accident lawyer from HodesMilman for trustworthy legal counsel.
After a truck accident, our team of attorneys will examine the circumstances of your case and determine which party or parties are liable for your injuries. Liable parties could include the truck driver, the manufacturer of the truck or its parts, the truck driver's employer, or any combination thereof. If a trucking company is determined to be the at-fault party, we will also help to ensure that the company revises its practices or shuts its doors in order to prevent other serious accidents from occurring in the future.
If you have lost a loved one due to a truck accident, the attorneys at our law firm will file a wrongful death claim against the truck driver or trucking company to pursue compensation for your tragic loss.
