Truck Accidents

Bringing Trucking Companies to Justice

Full Compensation for L.A. Commercial Truck Collisions

It's not fair. Commercial truck drivers often walk away from an accident, while the people in the passenger vehicle are seriously injured or killed. It's also not fair for insurance companies to try to limit your claim when the trucker was at fault. You need an attorney who can balance the scales of justice.

I am an aggressive, experienced advocate for those who have suffered injury in a commercial truck accident. The Law Office of Marvin S. Lanter seeks no less than full damages for your medical care, lost income, and reduced quality of life. In 30 years as a trial lawyer, I have obtained substantial settlements and verdicts in claims against trucking companies and delivery trucks throughout Los Angeles County and Southern California.

A Notable Case
In a recent case I represented a woman who was massively injured when the taxi she was riding in was struck broadside by a truck at an intersection. She was ejected and thrown 30 feet, resulting in lasting disabilities and over $175,000 in medical bills. We demonstrated that the driver of the delivery van was both intoxicated and severely speeding. I obtained an insurance settlement for the policy limits of $505,000.

Assigning Blame for Commercial Truck Accidents

Tractor-trailers and delivery vehicle accidents can be complex cases. On a busy freeway, there may be multiple cars involved. The cab and trailer may be owned by separate entities. I have the experience and determination to sort it all out. I visit the crash scene myself to gather evidence and identify witnesses. I will find the top experts in accident reconstruction to examine the wreckage to determine liability:

• Truck driver error, traffic violations or fatigue
• Bald tires, bad brakes, overweight or shifting freight
• Falsified logbooks or negligent hiring

Commercial truck accidents commonly result in catastrophic injury or fatality. I hold trucking companies and their insurance carriers to fair settlements, or I take the case to a jury. Either way, I am not satisfied until my clients get justice.
