San Fernando Valley Truck Accident Lawyer
California 18-Wheeler Accident Injury Claims Attorney
In a collision between an 18-wheeler weighing more than 90,000 pounds and a compact car weighing less than 3,000 pounds, the truck wins. Clients involved in truck accidents on Highway 5 tend to sustain catastrophic injuries, which often alter their lives and create six-figure medical expenses.
If you or a family member has been injured by the actions of a careless truck driver, you need an advocate to explain the legal options available to you, and represent you in negotiations with the trucker's commercial insurance company.
Attorney Thomas J. Samaha has more than 20 years of experience in personal injury and truck accident law. The goal of the Samaha Law Firm is to pursue maximum compensation for your semi wreck injury.

Get a Skilled Advocate on Your Side
Commercial trucks are governed by interstate and intrastate licensing, so it is important to retain a tractor trailer accident lawyer familiar with U.S. Department of Transportation guidelines, applicable federal law and state mandates.
When we accept your truck accident injury case, we investigate the accident thoroughly, including talking to you and witnesses and reconstructing the accident scene. When a commercial truck is involved, we go the extra mile to pursue compensation for you. We examine the trucker's logbook to determine how long he or she had been driving before the accident occurred, and over how many miles. We look for faulty equipment and maintenance, defective parts or evidence of drinking and driving that may have contributed to your accident injuries.
We Deal With the Insurance Companies on Your Behalf
The most important issue after a truck accident is getting the medical care you need. If you do not have enough insurance to cover unexpected medical bills, we go to work on your behalf to help you access care. The second important issue is dealing with the truck driver's insurance company. Their mission is to protect their bottom line, not yours. We recommend that clients contact us before signing any releases or cashing any checks. We have significant experience dealing with insurance companies, and know how to approach them for a positive outcome.
