California Truck Accident Lawyer

Southern California Trucking Accident Lawyer

Truck accidents cause severe injuries and death more often than car accidents due to the great disparity in size and weight between an 18-wheeler and a standard car. While the average car weighs a little over 4,000 pounds, the average commercial carrier, when loaded, can weigh over 35,000 pounds. This means that when a car and a semi-truck collide, the car passengers and driver are much more likely to have severe injuries.

At Timothy J. Ryan & Associates, we know successful trucking accident litigation requires an experienced lawyer who can explain to a court why an accident occurred so that the victims of a semi-truck accident can get the compensation they deserve. Some of the causes of truck accidents include:

• mechanical failure
• improper maintenance
• blown tires
• overloading
• driver error and driver fatigue
• drugs / alcohol

If you have been injured in a semi-truck accident, you need to contact an attorney as soon as possible. Since many trucking companies put trucks that have been involved in accidents on the road again the next day, the evidence that shows the cause of a truck accident may be lost. Our office has an experienced team of trucking accident investigators that will start work on your case immediately. Call our office at (800) 838-6644. Our phones are answered 24 hours and day, 7 days a week by a live person.

We provide personal injury legal services on a contingency fee basis. This means, if you do not receive a money judgment, you do not pay attorneys’ fees.
