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.

    Our Clients' Success Stories

    • "We will recommend you and your firm without reservation."
      Dear Steve, With our case now settled, we wanted to reach out to thank you, Justin and the entire team for your representation of our daughter. It was clear to us that your professionalism, expertise and advocacy of our family’s interests made the entire process run smoothly. We specifically appreciate how well you interacted with our daughter. After we hung up with you on speaker phone leaving the courthouse that last day she said “I like him” in a very childlike, affectionate tone. We also wanted you to know that our decision to settle did not come easily. In the end, we believe the decision was in our daughter’s best interest. We know you worked hard to prepare a strong case and do regret not having the opportunity to see that through. Lastly, on a personal note, we wanted to compliment you on Justin. He is a truly impressive young man; intelligent, polite and very good natured. Just a couple of comments Steve made in the days leading up to our daughter’s trial as we got to know Justin better. To our daughter; “You can tell a lot about a man by seeing how his children behave; Mr. Effres seems like a really good man.” To S: “If you have a son, he (Justin) is what you want him to be like; if you have a daughter, he’s the kind of guy you’d like her to end up with.” Anyway, I’m sure you don’t need to hear it from us, but you and your wife must be very proud of your sons. I hope this doesn’t sound hollow, because it is most definitely not, but please keep in touch and let us know if there is ever anything we can do for you. If we ever come across a friend who is in need of representation, we will recommend you and your firm without reservation. Thanks again and best wishes by S, S, and M

      Two attorney firms dropped us before the 2 year deadline and we were panicking. My husband was badly hurt when a truck backed into him as he was walking by. Justin took us in and we really felt like we had someone on our side. I really feel like it's his reputation as a trial lawyer that got us the deal. I would absolutely recommend him!
