What Are Common Truck Accident Injuries?

Truck accidents often result in severe injuries due to the sheer size and weight of commercial vehicles. 

Common truck accident injuries include, but aren't limited to:

  • Broken bones
  • Whiplash
  • Burns
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Lacerations
  • Amputations
  • Sprains and strains

Our experienced 18-wheeler accident lawyer in Los Angeles deeply understands the physical and emotional toll these injuries take. We are committed to advocating for clients every step of the way, helping them pursue the compensation they deserve to support recovery and rebuild their lives.

What Compensation Can I Receive for a Truck Accident?

Victims of truck accidents may face overwhelming medical bills, lost income, and emotional trauma. Knowing what compensation you may be entitled to helps you understand your legal rights and options.

You may be entitled to receive compensation for:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • And more

In cases where an 18-wheeler accident results in wrongful death, families can seek damages for funeral and burial costs, loss of financial support, loss of parental guidance, and other related losses. Our compassionate truck accident attorneys in Los Angeles can guide grieving families through this difficult process with care and respect.

How Long Do I Have to File a Truck Accident Claim in California?

In California, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim following a truck accident is generally two years from the date of the crash. It’s crucial to act promptly because missing this deadline can bar you from pursuing compensation altogether. Some exceptions may apply, so consulting a skilled truck accident lawyer in Los Angeles as soon as possible helps guard your rights and preserve evidence.

    • "I would hope that nobody NEEDS to have an injury lawyer, but if they did, I would absolutely recommend Effres and Associates in a heartbeat."
      In August of 2015 I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident that involved the loss of operation of my dominant arm, as well as a traumatic brain injury. My parents had contacted Effres and associates (they were referred to them by another lawyer for another injury to a relative) and they drove from Agoura Hills down to Pasadena immediately, surveyed the accident scene, and then arrived at the hospital. Over the next two and a half years, Justin Effres and his father Steven Effres, relentlessly pursued this case for me, even when at one point it seemed like there wasn't much that could be done to resolve the situation. I had to go through the typical trial stuff such as meetings, deposition, medical appointments for Effres' firm and for the defense, but Effres did all that he could to make everything doable and smooth as possible for me. My perception of lawyers was certainly changed for the better after working with Justin and his dad, because of their genuine sincerity. They were always available and fully knowledgeable of the questions that my family and I had for them. Despite the case dragging on for over 2 years, they never left me hanging or feeling like the case was going nowhere, because Justin kept searching for answers and kept me updated with everything. All of his hard work paid off in a successful outcome for me. I would hope that nobody NEEDS to have an injury lawyer, but if they did, I would absolutely recommend Effres and Associates in a heartbeat.

    • "He is by far the best in the country for representing these types of malpractice cases."
      Attorney Steven Effres is a class act. He treats every single case with diligence, attention, compassion, and professionalism. After researching attorneys who specialized in dental malpractice, I found attorney Effres. I believe the Lord led me to this particular attorney. My husband and I are both medical professionals and I cannot begin to explain how thorough and educated he was on my case matter, lingual nerve injuries. His website bio demonstrates his success with these cases, but my experience has enlightened me. He is by far the best in the country for representing these types of malpractice cases. Establishing a case with Steven is like joining a family through marriage. Through the good and bad, he will be with you each step of the way, guiding you through your case. Not to mention, his staff is no less. You can expect your case to be attended to by each of his employees in the same manner.
