Los Angeles Truck Accident Attorney
Every day, truck accidents occur on streets and highways in California and throughout the country. In fact, because of their size and speed, trucks, semis, 18-wheelers, tractor trailer rigs, big rigs or other large commercial vehicle can strike with devastating force. It does not matter whether the accident happened because of a tire blowout, improper load handling, equipment failure or, as is often the case, driver fatigue — the victims of these accidents and their families face a long road to physical, emotional and financial recovery.
Advocacy and Support for Truck Accident Victims: Call (866) 461-5791
At The Heller Law Firm, we help tractor trailer accident victims and their families obtain compensation for their losses and suffering. These financial resources can provide the medical care, rehabilitation and replacement income these people need to rebuild their lives. When a loved one has died in a fatal truck accident, compensation can provide for the lost income to the family, funeral expenses, loss of companionship and other damages.
Our truck accident lawyers use their experience, skill and resourcefulness to investigate these often devastating accidents and expose negligence which caused or contributed to the accident. This negligence often involves defective products, dangerous road conditions, negligence of the truck driver or negligence of the trucking company, including:
- Failure to maintain dangerous equipment
- Carrying unbalanced or overweight loads
- Carrying improperly restrained loads
- Speeding or driving under the influence (of drugs or alcohol)
- Failure to maintain roads
- Negligent hiring practices or training by trucking companies
- Overzealous delivery schedules (promoting speeding or unsafe driving)
- Driver fatigue
Building a Strong Case
A trucking accident caused by an 18-wheeler, construction vehicle, bus or other commercial vehicle may have multiple causes. As experienced trial lawyers, aided by accident investigators, automotive engineers, mechanical engineers and others, we will thoroughly investigate the accident and seek to identify the true source or sources of liability. Moreover, we will also examine the effects that the accident has had and will continue to have on your life. The Heller Law Firm will work to build a strong case designed to obtain the financial resources you need to rebuild your life after a devastating truck accident.
Protecting Your Right to Recovery: Contact an Experienced Attorney
Over-the-road trucking companies are required to keep detailed maintenance records and driver logs. However, after six months they can — and usually do — destroy these records, and they are vital to your case. If you act quickly, The Heller Law Firm can obtain and preserve these important documents for use in your case.
