Los Angeles Truck Accidents

Los Angeles County Truck Accident Lawyers

Los Angeles County has a vast and complex freeway system, which includes Interstate 5 (I-5), Interstate 10 (I-10), Interstate 405, Interstate 210, Interstate 110 and U.S. Route 101 (Pacific Coast Highway). Trucking companies use these freeways daily by to transport goods to and from Los Angeles County, which is one of the country’s largest economies. Sadly, truck accidents are almost a daily occurrence on Los Angeles County’s highways. Commercial trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds fully loaded and can cause complete destruction when involved in a collision with a passenger vehicle weighing only 4,000 pounds. Negligent or careless truck drivers often walk away from a crash unharmed, while the innocent occupants of a passenger vehicle suffer catastrophic injuries or worse, suffer fatal injuries.

Los Angeles County Truck Accident Injuries

If a victim survives a Los Angeles County truck accident, the victim may suffer from various types of severe injuries, including head injuries, spinal cord injuries and amputation (loss of limb) injuries. Head injuries describe any injury to the scalp, skull or brain and are categorized as either open (penetrating) or closed. Spinal cord injuries are caused by damage to the nerve cells that surround the spinal cord. When nerve cells are damaged, the ability to feel and move can be affected resulting in either complete or incomplete paralysis. Amputation injuries result in the loss of a limb. In some cases, the detached limb can be reattached depending on the severity of the injury and condition of the limb.
