Motor Vehicle Accidents
Commercial truck crashes involving big rigs, 18-wheelers, and semi-trailers.
Commercial truck accidents are fundamentally different from passenger car collisions. A fully loaded big rig can weigh 80,000 pounds — 20 times the weight of a typical car. The physics of a truck collision often produce catastrophic injuries, and the legal landscape is far more complex, involving federal motor carrier regulations, multiple liable parties, and commercial insurance policies with much higher limits.
Truck accident claims require immediate action. Electronic logging device (ELD) data, dashcam footage, and driver qualification files can be destroyed or overwritten within days. Our attorneys act fast to send preservation letters, secure the truck's black box data, and identify every responsible party — from the driver to the carrier to the broker.

We represent truck accidents victims across California. Select your city to learn about local factors that contribute to these types of accidents.
Los Angeles County
Long Beach is home to the Port of Long Beach — the second-busiest container port in the United States. The port and the adjacent Port of Los Angeles together handle nearly 40% of all container imports entering the country, which means a constant, heavy flow of commercial truck traffic through the city and along the I-710 and I-110 freeways.
San Bernardino County
San Bernardino sits at the crossroads of the I-10, I-215, and SR-210 freeways — one of the most important freight corridors in Southern California. The city and surrounding Inland Empire region have become a major hub for massive distribution centers operated by Amazon, UPS, FedEx, and other logistics giants, generating enormous commercial truck traffic.
Los Angeles County
Vernon is one of the most industrialized cities in California, with a concentration of food processing, manufacturing, and warehousing facilities packed into a small area just southeast of Downtown Los Angeles. The constant movement of commercial trucks in and out of Vernon — many of them heavy-duty delivery and freight vehicles — creates a high density of truck traffic on local streets and the nearby I-5 and I-710 freeways.
