If a car or motorcycle was involved instead of a big rig, our Car Accidents and Motorcycle Accidents pages cover those claims, and our Personal Injury Law page covers every other case type we handle.
From several California locations serving the rest of the state, our veteran Glendale truck accident attorneys are prepared to handle a wide range of semi truck accident cases related to:
- Motor Vehicles – such as cars, motorcycles, smaller trucks, and others.
- Driver Negligence – including uninsured or underinsured drivers, driver fatigue, drunk driving/DUI, speeding, and other careless actions.
- Equipment Issues – such as tire blowouts, brake failure, load shifting, improper reflective markers, and more.
- Negligent Truck Companies – including excessive driver hours and scheduling, improper transport logs, lax vehicle maintenance, and other dangerous practices.
Because of the size and weight differences between the vehicles in a serious semi truck accident, victims typically suffer catastrophic injuries such as traumatic head injury, spinal cord damage or paralysis. Many truck accidents can result in a wrongful death. Our Pasadena truck accident lawyers team with medical specialists, financial experts, and life care planners to help ensure that clients receive settlements and awards that fairly offset the financial and emotional impact on their lives.

Pasadena Truck Accident Attorney — FAQ
What should I do immediately after a truck accident?
Get medical attention right away, even if injuries seem minor — some, like internal injuries or concussions, aren't immediately obvious. If you're able, take photos of the scene, the truck's license plate and DOT number, and any visible damage. Get the names and contact information of witnesses, and avoid discussing fault with anyone at the scene. Then contact a Pasadena truck accident attorney before speaking with any insurance company.
Why are truck accident cases more complicated than car accident cases?
Truck accidents involve federal trucking regulations, multiple potentially liable parties, and evidence — like black box data and driver logs — that can be lost or destroyed if not preserved quickly. Trucking companies also typically have their own legal teams and insurance adjusters working to minimize payouts from the moment a crash is reported.
Who can be held responsible for a semi-truck accident?
Liability isn't always limited to the driver. Depending on the cause of the crash, the trucking company, a cargo loading company, a parts manufacturer, or a maintenance contractor could also share responsibility. A thorough investigation is often needed to identify every party at fault.
What common issues contribute to truck accidents?
Truck accidents are often caused by driver negligence (fatigue, DUI, speeding, distracted driving), equipment failures (tire blowouts, brake failure, load shifting), or negligent practices by trucking companies (excessive driver hours, poor vehicle maintenance, improper transport logs).
What types of injuries are common in truck accidents?
Due to the size and weight disparity between commercial trucks and passenger vehicles, injuries are often severe — including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, paralysis, and in the most serious cases, wrongful death.
How much does it cost to hire a truck accident lawyer?
Nothing upfront. Consultations are free, and legal fees only come from a settlement or verdict — so there's no financial risk to reaching out.
How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in California?
Generally two years from the date of the accident, though exceptions can apply depending on the parties involved. It's best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible so evidence can be preserved and deadlines aren't missed.
What areas do your truck accident attorneys serve?
We represent clients in Pasadena, Glendale, and throughout Los Angeles County, with offices located across California.

What Our Clients Say
I was referred this law office by a very good friend of mine, who was injured in a fall. I looked for many personal injury lawyers for my car accident until I was referred to them. They handled my injury case efficiently and professionally and advised me on what to do. They offered a fair rate as compared to other local attorneys and they handled the situation very well, and informed me on every aspect of my case, and I was able to get a great settlement at the end of the day. Thank you!
