Our Tarzana Truck Accident Attorneys Help You Get Compensation 

Any motor vehicle accident can cause significant harm to victims, but truck accidents are among the most dangerous. According to the National Safety Council (NSC), close to 6,000 people are killed in truck accidents throughout the U.S. each year, while tens of thousands of other victims suffer potentially devastating personal injuries. California is one of the places they are most likely to happen.  

L.A. tops the list when it comes to having the highest truck accident rates in the state. Truck accidents in Los Angeles County occur regularly and are most likely to happen on major freeways and interstates. With the 101 running directly through our area and the 405 interchange nearby, residents of Tarzana are at particular risk.  

If you or someone you love is hurt, reach out to Harris Personal Injury Lawyers. Our Tarzana truck accident attorneys provide the knowledgeable, experienced legal representation needed to get compensation. We guide clients throughout the often complex process of filing a claim. Cases we handle include:  

• Rollover truck accidents, which are common due to the truck's considerable height and the potential for shifting loads; 
• Jackknife truck accidents, one of the most common collisions, happen when truckers slam on their brakes, and the trailer swings out and runs up alongside the cab; 
• T-bone truck accidents, which pose major risks in parking lots and interstates; 
• Blind spot truck accidents, which are common in traffic and can happen when driving directly in front, behind, or beside truck;
• Broad turn truck accidents, common when turning onto side roads or navigating curves in the road; 
• Head-on truck accidents, common at night and a leading cause of fatal injuries.  

Who Is Responsible When A Tarzana Truck Accident Happens?  

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) reports that an average of more than 35,000 motor vehicle crashes in Los Angeles County happen each year on major freeways. Many of these involve commercial vehicles. While the large size and weight of big rigs help protect the truck driver, other motorists are vulnerable and typically suffer the most serious harm.  

If you or someone you love is injured in this type of accident, contact Harris Personal Injury Lawyers. Truck drivers, other motorists, trucking companies, and truck parts manufacturers may all share a portion of the blame. Our Tarzana truck accident attorneys help you hold them responsible for crashes that occur due to the following:  

• Speeding, tailgating, and other reckless behavior on the part of the trucker or other drivers
• Drowsy driving, which is common in the trucking industry due to long shifts; 
• Driving while impaired, which may involve alcohol, recreational drugs, or different types of medications; 
• Mechanical issues, such as tire blowouts and brake failure; 
• Improper loading practices, increasing the risk of a truck driver losing control of the rig.
