For most drivers on Los Angeles County roadways, a truck accident will cause inconvenience, extra traffic and disrupted plans. For the unfortunate few, truck accidents cause life-changing injury, financial harm and, in the worst cases, irreplaceable loss of a loved one.
Crashes involving semi-trucks, construction vehicles, utility trucks and other large vehicles are all-to-common in Los Angeles County. In just the first few months of 2024, county accidents claimed lives and caused injuries in and around Los Angeles, Sun Valley, Los Feliz, Monrovia, Lebec and Azusa.

Types of Truck Accident Injuries
Every truck accident is a unique situation, and so are the injuries they cause. Injuries can vary widely from bumps and bruises to broken bones, lost limbs, head or spinal cord injury, and other severe medical issues.
Injuries can also be psychological, leading to mental health concerns like anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In the most horrific truck cases, lives are lost.
In some crashes that look fatal from the outside, victims are still able to walk away with non-critical injuries. In one February 2024 crash on the 210 Freeway in Monrovia, a big rig slammed into a freeway wall and overturned. This caused a series of other crashes involving three big rigs and multiple passenger vehicles. Two victims were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
The victim of a March semi-on-pedestrian accident outside Los Feliz was not so fortunate. He was hit by a semi-truck as it pulled out of a parking lot and sadly declared dead at the scene.
In each of these cases, a truck accident lawyer could help the victims or the victim’s next of kin recover damages from the responsible parties.
