Tractor-Trailer and Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Holding Trucking Companies Accountable for the Devastation
Even if there are life-changing injuries or a fatality in a truck accident, it takes a well-documented case to pry full compensation from transportation companies and their insurers.
Any initial settlement offer is unlikely to cover the massive medical bills and the lost income, not to mention appropriate damages for permanent disability or pain and suffering. The Los Angeles law firm of Avila & Shaddow provides skilled and aggressive representation focused on obtaining full compensation to cover your current and future needs.

Uncovering Negligence, Identifying Liable Parties
To the untrained eye, a truck crash scene only tells part of the story. That is why when a serious truck accident occurs, it is often necessary to use professional investigators, engineers and accident reconstructionists to examine the crash scene and the vehicles to help prove negligence of the semi truck driver or truck's owner:
- Speeding, changing lanes, tailgating and other aggressive driving
- Wide right turns, short left turns, or backing into another vehicle
- Fatigue and inattention from driving more hours than allowed by federal law
- Poor maintenance, poorly secured freight or overweight loads
- Negligent hiring of drivers with a history of accidents, traffic violations or substance abuse
In order to build a case against a trucking company, logbooks, "black box" data, maintenance records, employment records, and other evidence need to be obtained and inspected. When confronted with a serious injury accident, trucking companies and their insurance carriers often outright deny or try to conceal liability. How is this accomplished? By intentionally not disclosing evidence that may be damaging to their defense. While some lawyers may not want to go the extra mile to get crucial information because it requires a lot of "extra work," Avila and Shaddow realize that it is precisely because of our willingness and success in going the extra mile for our clients that puts us in a position to demand a higher amount of compensation for our clients.
