Leading California Truck Accident Attorneys

Accidents involving semi-trucks, tractor trailers, commercial haulers, garbage trucks, logging trucks, buses and other heavy vehicles are likely to result in catastrophic injuries and corresponding disabilities, especially for passenger car occupants. Truck accident lawyers at Abramson Smith Waldsmith, LLP, have extensive experience representing plaintiffs in tractor trailer collisions who suffer serious broken bones and orthopedic injuries, crushed limbs and traumatic amputations, severe burns, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, paralysis, loss of cognitive functioning, and death.

Semi-trailer truck accidents can be the result of dangerous or defective roadways. Often, however, they are the result of liability on the part of the trucker, or the company or public entity that owns the vehicle. Truckers routinely exceed their on-the-road hours limitations and drive fatigued in an effort to meet unrealistic delivery schedules. Towards the same goal, they may speed, run traffic signals, drive too fast for weather conditions, or drive under conditions of reduced visibility. They may drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Trucking companies may fail to adequately maintain their vehicles causing mechanical failures. They may use defective equipment, including brakes, tires, and fuel filters.

Our law firm has the experience and the resources to litigate effectively against the trucking industry’s large and powerful insurance companies, who are intent on minimizing their losses and their liability. We seek full and fair compensation for all damages and losses, including immediate and long-term medical care, short and long term disability coverage, physical therapy and rehabilitation, lost wages, lost earning potential, pain and suffering, loss of a family member through wrongful death, and funeral expenses.

Throughout our personal injury practice, our truck accident attorneys have earned a nationwide reputation for excellent representation and results in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. We choose our cases carefully, and give each the full benefit of our experience, our personal attention, our resources, and our access to forensic, engineering, and truck accident reconstruction experts.

With over 100 years of combined experience, our truck accident law firm has established a successful record of helping plaintiffs and family members recover damages for injuries and losses sustained in 18-wheeler collisions and other trucking accidents. We take the time to fully investigate every case, and to thoroughly and systematically prepare it for presentation to a jury. We are proud of our winning record, especially those cases that lead to improvements in trucking industry safety standards.

As leaders in the field of electronic case presentation, we use computer technology to efficiently display facts and evidence from the scene of a truck accident, to highlight discrepancies in testimony, and to clarify complex truck accident legal and engineering issues for juries. Effective courtroom use of computer applications and other electronic media allows for shorter trials and enhanced results.

If you or a loved one has suffered serious injury or death in a bus, semi-truck or over-the-road hauler crash, we encourage you to contact our law firm today for skilled and knowledgeable legal counsel.
