If you were injured in a collision involving a commercial truck, the Law Offices of Asher Hoffman can investigate the trucking company, preserve time-sensitive records, identify every responsible party, and pursue all available insurance coverage. We handle crashes involving tractor-trailers, big rigs, box trucks, delivery vehicles, construction trucks, and other commercial vehicles throughout Los Angeles.
Los Angeles truck cases may involve Port of Los Angeles freight, the I-710 and I-110 port corridors, interstate traffic on the I-5 and I-10, construction vehicles, and dense commercial delivery routes throughout the city.
You will have direct access to your attorney throughout the case. Your consultation is free, and you pay no attorney’s fee unless we recover compensation for you.
Call 911 when appropriate, obtain medical care, photograph the truck and scene if it is safe, collect witness information, and preserve your vehicle. Avoid giving the trucking company’s insurer a recorded statement before getting legal advice.
Potential defendants may include the driver, motor carrier, vehicle owner, broker, shipper, cargo loader, maintenance provider, employer, or a manufacturer of defective equipment. The responsible parties depend on the contracts, control, and conduct involved in the trip.
Important records may include electronic logging data, dashcam video, engine and telematics data, dispatch communications, driver qualification files, inspection and maintenance records, bills of lading, cargo documents, and post-crash testing.
We handle truck accident claims on a contingency-fee basis. There is no upfront attorney’s fee, and you do not pay an attorney’s fee unless we obtain a recovery.
A truck collision is not simply a larger car accident. Commercial carriers operate under federal and California safety rules, maintain specialized electronic and business records, and often have several companies involved in a single shipment. Their insurers may begin investigating immediately after a crash.
Early preservation matters because electronic data can be overwritten, vehicles can be repaired, video can disappear, and witnesses can become harder to locate. A focused investigation should identify the carrier, the truck’s ownership, the driver’s employment status, the purpose of the trip, the cargo interests, and every applicable insurance policy.
Truck crashes on the I-710, I-110, I-5, I-10, Port of Los Angeles routes, construction zones, and dense surface-street delivery corridors may result from one or several operational failures:
The commercial driver may be responsible for unsafe operation, but the investigation should not stop there. A motor carrier may be liable for its driver’s conduct or for negligent hiring, training, supervision, dispatch, inspection, or maintenance. Other companies may be responsible when their loading, equipment, scheduling, or control contributed to the collision.
We examine contracts, ownership records, dispatch information, corporate relationships, safety records, and insurance policies to determine who controlled the work and who contributed to the unsafe condition.
The size and weight difference between a commercial truck and a passenger vehicle can cause traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, fractures, internal injuries, crush injuries, burns, amputations, scarring, chronic pain, psychological trauma, and fatal injuries. We work to document both the immediate harm and the long-term effect on medical needs, employment, independence, and family life.
Possibly. A carrier may be responsible for its driver’s conduct and may also face direct claims based on its own hiring, training, supervision, dispatch, inspection, or maintenance practices. Other commercial entities may also share responsibility.
California follows pure comparative negligence. A partial-fault allegation does not automatically eliminate a claim, although any proven share of fault may reduce the recovery. Commercial data, video, physical evidence, and witness statements can be important when fault is disputed.
California personal injury lawsuits are generally subject to a two-year deadline, but shorter deadlines and exceptions can apply. Claims involving a public entity may require a government claim within six months. It is safer to obtain case-specific advice promptly.
