Truck Accident Attorney
Holding trucking companies and negligent drivers accountable for catastrophic injuries.
Overview
Commercial truck accidents on the 5, 134, 210, and surface streets around Glendale often cause devastating injuries because of the size and weight difference between an 80,000-pound rig and a passenger car. These cases are not standard fender-benders — they involve federal trucking regulations, driver logbooks, black box data, maintenance records, and multiple potentially liable parties including the driver, trucking company, loader, and broker.
Prospect Law Group has the resources to investigate truck crash claims aggressively. We preserve evidence before it disappears, identify Hours-of-Service violations, improper loading, negligent hiring, and inadequate maintenance, and hold corporate defendants accountable when their policies or training failures put the public at risk. Trucking insurers and their defense firms fight hard; you need attorneys who will fight harder.
Victims of truck accidents may suffer amputations, burns, internal organ damage, traumatic brain injuries, paralysis, and wrongful death. We pursue compensation for hospitalization, ongoing care, lost earning capacity, home modifications, pain and suffering, and the full economic impact these collisions have on victims and their families.
Why Hire an Attorney
Truck crashes involve catastrophic injuries, federal regulations, and corporate legal teams deployed within hours. Prospect Law Group has the resources to investigate trucking companies and pursue accountability for victims in Glendale and Los Angeles County.
Trucking companies respond immediately
Carriers send investigators to the scene while victims are still in the hospital. We act quickly to secure evidence before logs are altered, trucks are repaired, or drivers are coached on statements.
Federal and state regulations apply
Hours-of-service rules, maintenance requirements, and cargo securement standards create additional avenues of liability. We know FMCSA regulations and how violations support your claim.
Multiple liable parties
The driver, trucking company, cargo loader, maintenance contractor, and vehicle manufacturer may all share responsibility. We pursue every policy and corporate entity involved.
Higher insurance limits
Commercial policies often carry substantial coverage, but insurers fight hard to avoid paying. Experienced representation is essential to access funds that actually cover lifelong injuries.
Expert testimony and investigation
Black box data, driver qualification files, and maintenance records require legal process to obtain. We use discovery tools and experts to build cases insurers cannot dismiss.
Common Injuries
Compensation We Fight For
Every case is unique. Depending on the facts of your claim, we may pursue compensation for:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage and repair costs

- Punitive damages when warranted
