Truck Accidents
Los Angeles Truck Accident Attorney
Truck accidents are among the most destructive types of collisions on California roads. These massive vehicles can cause severe, life-threatening injuries and death.
What’s worse — many truck accidents could have been avoided if the trucking company or driver followed safety regulations.

Truck Accidents and the Law
In California, victims of truck accidents have the right to seek compensation from multiple liable parties, such as:
- Truck drivers
- Trucking companies
- Maintenance crews
- Vehicle or parts manufacturers
- Cargo loaders
- Contractors or third-party logistics firms
Because the trucking industry is governed by federal and state regulations, it takes an experienced attorney to navigate the rules and determine fault.
Truck Accident Lawsuits Are Complex
Truck companies often have legal teams working hard to limit their liability. David Olan has decades of experience uncovering trucking violations, including:
- Driver fatigue and logbook fraud
- Unlicensed or undertrained drivers
- Poor truck maintenance
- Overloaded or improperly loaded cargo
- Speeding or distracted driving
Even if you are partially at fault, you may still be entitled to compensation under California’s comparative negligence rules.

Types of Damages You Can Recover
- Emergency and long-term medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of future income
- Emotional trauma
- Wrongful death
- Rehabilitation and home modification costs
