Why Trucking Violations Matter
Truck accidents can cause catastrophic injuries. When trucking companies cut corners, they put lives at risk. These violations are not just careless mistakes—they are often a direct cause of serious and preventable crashes. Holding these companies accountable requires evidence, legal experience, and a clear understanding of federal and state regulations.
The Role of a Los Angeles Personal Injury Lawyer
If you’ve been hurt in a truck crash, our skilled Los Angeles personal injury lawyer can help prove the company’s violations. Many accident victims don’t realize that trucking companies have strict rules to follow. When they violate these rules—like skipping maintenance, overloading cargo, or forcing drivers to work beyond legal hours—they can and should be held liable.
Accountability Starts with Legal Experience
At Crown Law Group, PC, we take these cases seriously. Tristan Crown, our attorney, has worked with many victims of truck accidents across Los Angeles. These cases often involve deep investigations. Many trucking companies are quick to hide or destroy evidence. That’s why it’s important to have legal representation as soon as possible. We are here to fight for you and uncover the truth behind the crash.
Common Violations That Lead to Truck Accidents
There are several frequent violations that we see in trucking cases:
- Hours of Service Violations: Drivers are often pushed to meet unrealistic deadlines. Fatigue sets in when they drive too long without rest, increasing the risk of accidents.
- Improper Truck Maintenance: Worn brakes, bald tires, and faulty lights are all preventable with routine checks. Skipping inspections can lead to deadly outcomes.
- Overloaded or Improperly Secured Cargo: Cargo that shifts or is too heavy can cause rollovers and jackknife accidents.
- Unqualified Drivers: Some companies hire drivers without proper licensing or training, placing unprepared individuals behind the wheel of massive trucks.
- Failure to Conduct Drug and Alcohol Testing: Federal rules require regular testing. Ignoring this can lead to impaired driving and serious consequences.
Our legal team investigates these and other violations by digging through records, maintenance logs, and driver logs to build a strong case for our clients.
Why Legal Support Is Critical
Going up against a trucking company is not easy. They have their own legal teams and insurance adjusters working to protect their interests. You need someone who’s working for you. A knowledgeable Los Angeles personal injury attorney can distinguish between a denied claim and a full financial recovery. We gather the facts, secure the evidence, and stand by your side through every step.
