Client satisfaction drives everything we do at Thompson Law. We return calls promptly, explain legal concepts clearly, and keep you updated regularly. Your questions get answered and your concerns get addressed, by our team, not an answering service.

After a truck accident, you need someone in your corner who truly understands what you’re up against. Trucking companies and their insurers have teams of adjusters working to pay you as little as possible. That’s not fair, and you shouldn’t have to fight them alone. Our attorneys have helped thousands of people in your situation, and we know how to stand up for you.
We also believe that money should never stop you from getting the help you need. That’s why you pay nothing unless we win your case. From day one, we’re on the same team with the same goal: getting you the compensation you deserve. It doesn’t matter if your accident involved a local delivery truck or a massive 18-wheeler.
Your case matters to us, and it gets our full attention.
At Thompson Law, our lawyers have extensive experience helping clients recover compensation after collisions involving commercial vehicles of all types:
Here are some types of truck-related personal injury cases we handle:
Los Angeles freeways see thousands of commercial trucks every day. The I-5, 405, 710, and other major routes serve as arteries for goods moving across Southern California, and when something goes wrong at highway speeds, the results can be devastating.
Our truck accident attorneys understand the physical, financial, and emotional toll these crashes take on victims and their families. The injuries are often severe: traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, internal bleeding, and burns. Recovery can take months or years, and some injuries change lives permanently.
We handle every aspect of your case: investigating the crash, gathering evidence, negotiating with multiple insurance companies, and fighting for full compensation. We’re here to help you recover what you deserve.
The first step is simply talking to us. Call us today for a free case review with no strings attached. We’ll listen to what happened to you, look over any documents or medical records you have, and explain your options in plain language. This conversation helps you understand your rights and what your case might be worth. There’s no pressure and no cost. We just want to help you see the path forward.
Once you hire us, we get to work right away. Time matters in truck accident cases. Evidence can disappear fast, and trucking companies often send their own investigators to the scene within hours. We move quickly to protect your case.
Our team collects police reports, talks to witnesses, takes photos of the scene, and gathers data from the truck’s electronic systems. We also review the driver’s logs and records. Our legal and medical staff will request your medical records and go through them carefully. We work with accident experts to figure out exactly what happened and who is responsible. You focus on healing. We focus on building the strongest case possible.
Insurance adjusters may call you soon after the accident. They might sound friendly, but their goal is to pay you as little as possible. You don’t have to talk to them, and we recommend that you don’t.
Let us handle those conversations for you. We know what to say and what traps to avoid. Recorded statements and quick settlement offers are designed to hurt your case, not help it. You have enough to worry about right now. Dealing with pushy adjusters shouldn’t be one of those things.
If the insurance company won’t offer a fair settlement, we’re ready to go to court. Our trial lawyers have real courtroom experience and aren’t afraid to take on major trucking companies and their legal teams. In fact, most cases settle once insurers see that we’re serious about going to trial.
Throughout this process, we’ll keep you updated without overwhelming you with legal details. Your job is to rest and get better. Our job is to fight for you. That’s how it should be.
Trucking companies and their insurers will try to pay you as little as they can. That’s just how they operate. Our job is to make sure that doesn’t happen to you. We fight to get you every dollar you’re owed under California law.
We look at the full picture: your medical bills, lost income, future care needs, and how this accident has changed your life. Quick settlements almost always mean smaller settlements. We help you understand what your case is really worth so you can make the best decision for your future.
Our team has spent years handling truck accident cases. We’ve seen every tactic insurers use, and we know how to beat them. That courtroom experience makes us stronger at the negotiating table too.
Thousands of injury victims across Southern California have trusted us with their cases. Everything we’ve learned along the way now works in your favor.
Truck accident claims involve high stakes and tough negotiations. Our attorneys build strong cases backed by evidence and expert opinions. Insurance companies in the city know our firm. They know we’ll go to trial if we have to. That reputation helps us get better results for you.
You have enough to deal with right now. Let us take care of the legal deadlines, the paperwork, and the phone calls. We’ll keep you updated and answer your questions quickly.
Knowing someone is looking out for you can bring real peace of mind during a hard time. That’s what we’re here for.
You pay nothing upfront and nothing along the way. We cover all the costs while your case moves forward. You only pay us if we win money for you. Your financial situation should never keep you from getting the help you need.
You shouldn’t have to put off treatment while your case is pending. We connect you with trusted doctors who will see you now and get paid later from your settlement. This way, you start healing right away, and the medical records we gather also help strengthen your case.
Truck accident victims may be entitled to compensation for various losses. The severity of truck accident injuries often means these amounts are substantial.
In cases of extreme negligence, such as drunk driving, falsified driver logs, or major safety violations, courts may award additional damages to punish the responsible party and deter future misconduct.
Compensation depends on factors like injury severity, medical expenses, and property damage. Settlements often range between $75,000 and $300,000, but cases involving catastrophic injuries, permanent disabilities, or wrongful death can result in payouts exceeding $1 million. A free consultation can provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific situation.
Our firm operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. Legal fees are only collected if we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
The timeline varies. Cases involving minor injuries may settle in a few months, while more complex claims, especially those with disputes over liability or severe injuries, can take 12 to 24 months or longer, particularly if they proceed to trial.
Truck accidents involve unique complexities. The size and weight of commercial trucks often result in more severe injuries. Federal trucking regulations govern driver hours, vehicle maintenance, and cargo handling, adding legal challenges. Multiple parties may be liable, including the driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, and manufacturers. These factors typically result in higher settlement amounts but also require attorneys with specific expertise in trucking cases.
Most cases settle before trial through negotiations. If a fair settlement can’t be reached, we’re fully prepared to take your case to court. Our trial experience often motivates insurance companies to offer fair settlements rather than face us in front of a jury.
Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor. Document everything you can, collect witness information, and report the accident to police. Contact an attorney before speaking with insurance adjusters from the trucking company. The sooner you have legal representation, the better we can protect your interests and preserve crucial evidence.
Attorney-client privilege protects all conversations and case details. Your personal information stays completely confidential throughout the entire legal process.
Thompson Law charges NO FEE unless we obtain a settlement for your case. We’ve put over $1.9 billion in cash settlements in our clients’ pockets. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your accident, get your questions answered, and understand your legal options.
State law limits the time you have to file a claim after an injury accident, so call today.
