Our focus is important because of the complex and challenging nature of these cases. With our focus and more than three decades of experience on our side, we work hard to get our clients the best possible results.

- Amputations

Amputation is one of many serious injuries from trucking accidents. Traumatic injuries sustained in accidents are the number one cause of amputation in people under the age of 50 in the United States. Amputation can occur in two ways in a truck accident: during the accident itself or as a necessary medical procedure following an accident.

- Broken Bones & Fractures

Bone fractures are a common and serious injury that can occur in a trucking accident. These fractures often occur in addition to other types of injuries, such as neck and back injuries, head injuries, and even amputations and paralysis. While broken bones are not always the most serious injuries a person sustains in a trucking accident, they require medical attention, significant medical costs, lost time for recovery, loss of income, and other damages. With more serious fractures, such as those affecting the hip bones or the spine, even greater damages may be incurred by the victim and their families.

- Head Injuries

Head injuries are a serious consequence of trucking and other vehicle accidents. In fact, truck and car accidents are the leading cause of traumatic brain injuries in the United States, accounting for 50 percent of all brain injury cases in people younger than 75. In a truck accident, a brain or head injury can occur when the head makes violent contact with another object, such as part of the car, the area outside the car (in the case of ejection), another person, the seat or dash in front of a person, etc. Furthermore, head injuries can occur simply from the violent movement of the head in one direction and then the other during sudden acceleration or deceleration. This can cause the brain to collide with the skull violently, doing harm to that area of the brain as well as the area opposite to it.

- Neck & Back Injuries

Neck and back injuries are common in trucking accidents. In cases of minor injury, the effects of neck and back problems are often temporary and can heal on their own. However, in more serious accident, neck and back injuries can leave individuals with serious pain, diminished function, expensive medical treatments, the inability to work, and other significant losses.

- Paralysis

One of the most serious injuries a person can sustain in a trucking accident is a spinal cord injury that results in paralysis. Studies have shown that between 45 and 55 percent of all paralysis injuries are sustained in auto accidents. Furthermore, evidence shows that truck accidents involving vehicle rollover and roof crushing pose the highest risk of spinal cord injury and paralysis.

- Bus Accidents

Bus accidents that result in serious injury or death are devastating for both individuals and families. While bus accidents occur less often than other vehicle accidents, the size of buses, the nature of bus travel, and other factors often makes these accidents serious. Those who have been seriously injured or the families of those killed in bus accidents have the legal right to seek compensation for their injuries, losses and suffering from those responsible.

- OCTA

Bus accidents that result in serious injury or death are devastating for both individuals and families. While bus accidents occur less often than other vehicle accidents, the size of buses, the nature of bus travel, and other factors often makes these accidents serious. Those who have been seriously injured or the families of those killed in bus accidents have the legal right to seek compensation for their injuries, losses and suffering from those responsible.

- LADOT Accidents

While the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority (LACMTA) operates the largest mass transit system in Southern California, the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) operates the second largest fleet of public buses in the area. This mass transit system includes almost 400 buses and other vehicles and serves approximately 30 million passengers every year.

- Greyhound Accidents

- Charter And Tour Bus Accidents

Bus accidents can occur on both public and private bus systems. When a bus accident occurs on a public bus, injured parties must seek compensation for their losses from the local or state government responsible for this bus system. Because these bus accident cases involve the government, special laws apply.
