Los Angeles Truck Accident Attorney

Truck Accident Attorney

Large trucks and semis are one of the leading causes of traffic-related deaths in the United States. A typical tractor-trailer or eighteen-wheeler weighs 20 to 30 times more than a passenger vehicle. Due to their sheer weight and size, the truck is virtually guaranteed to crush a smaller vehicle in an accident. When a truck hits a car, the occupants of the car are often killed or suffer very serious injuries, such as brain and spinal cord injuries, while the truck driver walks away from the accident unharmed.

This is precisely why it is so important to have an experienced Los Angeles truck accident law firm when dealing with truck accident cases.

Trucks pose a great risk to other vehicles on the road. While trucks are subject to state and federal laws and regulations to minimize this risk, some truck drivers and trucking companies ignore these laws to maximize profits and make deadlines. For example, trucks must be regularly inspected to ensure that all of their parts are working properly. Failure to perform this required testing and maintenance can endanger the public and result in fatal traffic accidents. Similarly, some truck drivers work long hours to meet demanding deadlines. The resulting fatigue and exhaustion can lead to a fatal accident.

Helping Victims Recover Fair Financial Compensation

If you or a family member has suffered serious injuries in a trucking accident, you need to speak with an experienced Los Angeles truck accident attorney as soon as possible. While your first priority should always be to seek medical treatment, a skilled truck accident lawyer can help you recover the financial compensation you need to deal with costly medical bills and other expenses. Recovery in these types of cases can be a very long and painful process, with many victims requiring a lifetime of medical care.

West Coast Trial Lawyers offers a team of top-notch truck accident attorneys committed to helping truck accident victims obtain a fair and just recovery when trucking accidents and other catastrophic events occur. While we have a strong reputation for obtaining maximum settlements for our clients, our truck accident lawyers are tough litigators who are ready to take a case to trial when the insurance carrier or trucking company fails to make a fair offer.

It is important to understand that when truck accidents happen, the trucking company will usually send representatives to the scene to perform their own “analysis” of the accident and limit the company’s liability. These representatives often confront victims at the scene, when they are most vulnerable. Truck accident victims should never speak with the trucking company or its insurance carrier before consulting with an truck accident lawyer. These companies are looking to gain critical information that they can use to avoid responsibility and decrease the value of your claim. A Los Angeles truck accident lawyer can carefully guide you through the process to ensure that you don’t make any mistakes that could hurt your truck accident personal injury case down the road.

8 THINGS YOU NEED TO DO AFTER A TRUCK ACCIDENT

Often times, the outcome of a truck accident never ends well.

They sent us to real specialists and Drs. They were/are ALWAYS available with EVERY call and every question! Even after normal business hours... They always made time for us! Even calls of concern before and after appointments and surgeries! They truly care for their clients' best interest as if we were family. . . . They are by far the most personable, best group of professionals I have ever encountered in my 40 years of life!

Mona

I am beyond happy with the hard work, attention and results I received from this amazing team of attorneys. . . . I thought I maybe I should just let my insurance company handle it. I am so glad I didn't! . . . Somebody else then referred me to Neama Rahmani at West Coast Trial Attorneys, and I immediately went with this firm. They were thorough, organized, available to answer any and all questions I had about the process, and they are so professional. I can't recommend this firm highly enough.

Laura

They know what they're doing, very well. Not only did I not make a single phone call from the day I hired them, but I also received calls from their case managers and paralegals who want to make sure my treatment was going well. They whole team took care of me. Thank you WCTL for taking full responsibility of my case and getting me an amazing settlement.

Called West coast trial lawyers this morning because I was involved in a slip and fall accident at a major retail store and was in search of an lawyer who can help. Since this is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me I wasn't sure what proper steps would be in order to be able to get the help I needed. I was diagnosed with a major head concussion at Cedars-Sinai ER and was told that I may need additional medical care for my head injury. I'm not a wealthy person and I do not have health insurance. I spoke to a case manager and they instantly made me feel better about the whole situation. They took my case and immediately set me up with a neurologist. I was taken back with how professional this office is and how quickly they were able to get me in with the doctor. My case is still open but I wanted to post a review because I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who comes across West Coast trial lawyers on google.

5 stars all the way. If I could give more stars I would.After my accident, I was stuck with thousands of dollars in medical bills. Alan contacted my health insurance company, Blue Shield, and the hospital and negotiated my bills down to pennies on the dollar. I couldn't believe it.I'm so happy I was referred to WCTL by a family member. They more than made up for their fees and made the whole experience a breeze.

West Coast Trial Lawyers settled my case for a lot more than i expected. I received the proper care from a network of very well trusted medical providers and truly felt as if they genuinely cared about my loss. their attorneys fees are very reasonable for the hard work and effort they put in to my case. Thankfully my accident wasn't too tragic but i am glad i found this firm to represent me for my accident. Thank you West Coast Trial Lawyers and your team!

I was rear ended by a big rig truck going home from a family gathering late last night. It was s very scary experience. I called west coast this morning and was happy with their attorney's fees so I retained them. It was a very easy process and I was able to submit every detail involving my accident via email. I was also made aware that I can drop into the office anytime to meet all the attorneys. I felt at ease. Thank you West Coast Trial Lawyers.

I was hit by a drunk driver on my way home from work. Luckily it wasn't to serious and I was able to walk away without any major injuries. The driver fled the scene but I was still in such shock that I called 911 and they came out and filed a report. I called West Coast Trial Lawyers to see if there was anything they can do to assist me or even provide with some legal advice but unfortunately because of certain circumstances involving my insurance coverage their office was not able to take my case. All the attorneys that took the time to talk to me personally made me feel very appreciative of their time. They were also kind enough to provide me with a referral for an attorney who may possibly be able to help me. I appreciate the fact that they took the time to listen and not just brush me off because I didn't have a case they specialized in. Thank West Coast.

Back in January of the year I was in need of an attorney who would be able to help me with my accident case. I googled and yelped and few law firms and the reviews seemed legit for West Coast Trial Lawyers. Even in some reviews I see that the president of the firm Neama Rahmani responds himself, which awesome. I called and I spoke to Tiffany. We went over very detailed information about my accident, I also spoke to an attorney named Allen who put me at ease about the entire situation. They got me in to see a medical doctor immodestly and I also started physical therapy at a great and very professional location. So far I'm extremely happy with how my case is being handled and I would like to say thank you to West Coast Trial Lawyers for guiding me through this legal issue.

I got into my first car accident and was really worried. I'm a single mom of 5 so I rely on my car alot! I called WCTL after seeing their amazing reviews and they did not disappoint! After a free consultation, they handled everything with the insurance companies and updated me along the way. Thomas, the legal assistant was very friendly and always made me feel welcome. Overall I had a great experience and would definitely recommend.

Neama was such great help and was always in contact when I had questions or concerns regarding my car accident case. He is definitely the best personal injury lawyer I could have given my case to. You really do feel like he is fighting for you. Neama took on my case as if it were his, and didn’t stop until I received my great settlement. Thank you again West Coast!

Jacqueline Moreira! What can I say?!? The absolute best! Every time I needed help, she was there. Every time I needed an update, she was there. Every time I needed an explanation, she was there. Even when I was ready to pick up my settlement check, she was there. She is so courtesy and funny, it was like doing business with family. I'm so sad to be done with my case now, she will be missed. I highly recommend West Coast Trial Lawyers because of Jacqueline and the wonderful staff there. Especially, Thomas at the front. Don't get me started! Even if you are not a client, you need to go to the office to meet him, one of a kind! Thanks Jackie and Thomas, keep up the great work!

West Coast Trial Lawyers has been outstanding. They are an amazing personal injury firm that cares about their customers. I was in a lot of pain after my accident and Neama put me with the best Chiro in Beverly Hills. I did not have to drive long distances to get the treatment that I deserved. Every time I called he was always available to answer any of my questions and concerns. I am truly blessed with the service that I received from Neama and his team.

Just left my consultation with this firm and I am feeling confident that they will handle my case aggressively and diligently. I was greeted as soon as I walked in, was offered water, and was immediately taken to the conference room where I was greeted by an attorney. Must I say, the office has an incredible view and they validate! Allen assured me that he was going to do everything in his power to get me the settlement that I deserved. I am looking forward to getting treated for my injuries and can’t wait to be stress free and fully recovered. I will follow up with a review once the case is settled. Thanks WCTL!

I am obsessed with Neama and his team! I have been living in the west coast for 32 years and have never got into an accident. When I did, my gf automatically told me to go to west Coast Trial Lawyers as she had a case with them in the past. I’m so happy I took her advice because they really care for you and go out of their way to make sure that you are okay and satisfied. Thank you so much to Neama and his team for everything!

Just got my license and was driving on the freeway and got rear-ended. West coast trial lawyers was one of the first places I called while I was at urgent care. I was able to get a consultation over the phone and even spoke to an attorney. A few month later my case wrapped up. They really helped me get my car fixed and had lots of recommendations as far as body shops and I was able to get treated closer to my job, so I didn’t have to take much time off of work. I would definitely recommend their services !!

I am so appreciative of west coast trial lawyers. My mother was cut off by a younger driver that caused her to lose control of her vehicle. She was injured and bruised up pretty bad. I don’t live with my mom so it was hard for me to be there a lot to help her but the attorneys and the staff made sure her appointments were set and her car repairs were taken care of. They found medical providers close to her home which made it convenient I’m so grateful for the help they provided my mom.

Had a very good experience with WCTL, I was in a car accident and was searching around for a PL law firm. I saw the 5 star reviews and decided to give WCTL a call. From the moment I made my first call, to the moment my case got settled, I was very impressed and happy with the service provided. Allen specifically handled my case and did a great job at doing so! The entire staff was also very helpful. They were in constant communication with me and was always there to answer the questions I had, which made a stressful process a lot more enjoyable. Overall, I am very happy I decided to give WCTL a call, great PL law firm, and would definitely recommend it to any of my family or friends if they ever need a personal injury lawyer!

I was very happy with the settlement they were able to obtain and amazing service! Neama was amazing from start to finish. Personally this was my second time having to deal with a personal injury firm and this time around I had a much better understanding of the overall process.Overall the process was very efficient and smooth and I had a much better experience this time around. It was very comforting knowing there is always someone at the firm I could get a hold of if I ever needed anything. I was very happy with the overall results and experience. Thank you Neama & WCTL!

WCTL helped me so much through my car accident case, that I have no words to describe my gratitude. It was my first car accident so I was really nervous and confused about what to do. When I called them, they were really nice and I was able to see a doctor the next day. The best thing about it was that they paid for all expenses until I won! Thank you so much again for helping me in this life changing event.

I'm going to have to brag a bit. I sustained a major leg injury back in October 2018 while in an uber on the way home from work. Thankfully my driver was not at fault, but I was basically left with no idea or direction. I consulted with a different firm immediately and while my case seemed valuable to them, it felt like a complete scam due to many unfortunate things. A friend mentioned I could talk to a few other firms, so I found this firm on Google, and used my free consult with Neama. OH MY GOD..... I have never felt more secure, and have had so many people care about not only my case, but ME. They immediately got me set up with my doctors and this journey of recovering. While I focused on my health and recovery, THEY focused on my justice. I received the settlement in less than six months. This process, while messy, was handled like it should and even surpassed my expectations. Thank you West Coast Trial Lawyers for understanding and caring about my personal injury case like it was your own. If I could, I would write a million reviews - but for anyone who might be in a similar situation and uncomfortable with the way it's handled - trust me, this firm cares for you like you're family. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.THANK YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK!!

I was referred to West Coast Trial Lawyers by a friend and after reading all the positive reviews, I decided to hire them to represent me in my car accident claim. I have had bad experiences in the past with attorneys being unresponsive and unreachable. WCTL far exceeded all my expectations. They are diligent, prompt, and available at all hours of the day and even night. The team works hard from A-Z to insure that every little detail of the case is handled and anticipated so that there are no problems at any time until settlement. I am very happy with my results and would recommend this firm to all my friends and family!

This is an exceptional law firm that takes very good care of their clients. Anytime I had a question or needed to make a call I was responded to within the day, always. For a firm that clearly takes on a lot of cases, the is personalized and mindful service that you can't just buy. Anytime I had a question I was able to get an answer that would allow me to stay up to date on the case. Nothing happens overnight, but I always felt reassured they were working on my case and helping me. This is a high caliber law firm and I truly recommend it.

Ensured my options available to me were clear and concisely explained to me so that I understood each and every dynamic of the options on the table. Walked me through the entire process of what needed to happen and was available whenever I had a question or concern. Understanding, determined and reliable. Definitely would recommend
