Anaheim Truck Accident Lawyer

Anaheim Truck Accident Attorney

Truck accidents are an everyday occurrence in Anaheim, California. Unfortunately, when a semi-truck is involved in an accident with a car, motorcycle, or other smaller vehicle, the smaller vehicle almost always bears the brunt of the damage. Semi-trucks are extremely powerful, and they can inflict severe damage on other vehicles and their occupants. If you’ve been hurt in a truck accident in Anaheim, California, truck accident lawyer Joshua Glotzer is here to help you obtain the compensation you deserve. At Glotzer & Leib, LLP, we have over 20 years of experience helping the victims of truck accidents, and we’re here to help you fight back against large trucking companies and their insurers.

Why You Need an Attorney After a Truck Accident

As noted above, commercial trucks can cause major damage to other vehicles and their occupants. Therefore, following a truck accident, legal action is almost always necessary for injured drivers and passengers to obtain financial compensation for their injuries. Unfortunately, trucking companies and their insurers often do everything in their power to protect themselves against legal claims. These companies often use their power, size, and resources to pressure the victims of truck accidents into accepting unfair settlements or to prevent truck accident victims from obtaining financial compensation altogether. Luckily, if you’ve been hurt in a truck accident, you have rights, and you don’t have to accept this kind of treatment.

When you hire an experienced truck accident lawyer to represent you, your odds of a successful outcome increase significantly. At Glotzer & Leib, LLP, our lawyers routinely take on large trucking companies and their insurers to help truck accident victims and their families recover financially. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident in Anaheim, we will fight for your right to be compensated for your injuries.

What Can an Attorney Do for Me After a Truck Accident?

After a truck accident in California, trucking companies and their insurers rely on their attorneys to limit their liability.

What to Do After a Truck Accident

After a truck accident, it’s imperative that you take the proper steps to give yourself the best chance at a successful outcome. The first thing you should do after any type of accident is seek immediate medical care. This is true even if you don’t believe you’ve been injured, as injury symptoms can take weeks or even months to surface. When it comes to truck accident injuries, it’s always best to err on the side of caution.  

Next, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible. At Glotzer & Leib, LLP, we will conduct a thorough investigation into your accident and formulate an effective legal strategy for your Anaheim truck accident lawsuit.

How Do Truck Accidents Occur?

Truck accidents in California often result in serious injuries to both passengers and drivers. Truck accidents can be caused by a number of factors, and many of them involve the negligence of the truck driver, trucking company, or truck manufacturer. For example, truck accidents are often caused by a trucking company’s failure to properly maintain its vehicles. In addition, driver distraction and exhaustion are common causes of truck accidents in California. When the negligence of a truck driver, trucking company, or truck manufacturer leads to a truck accident, people in other vehicles who suffer injuries may be entitled to significant financial compensation.

Truck Accident Injuries

Semi-trucks are extremely powerful vehicles. Thus, when semi-trucks collide with smaller vehicles, the resulting injuries to drivers and passengers tend to be serious. Common truck accident injuries include:

  • Back injuries
  • Neck injuries
  • Broken bones
  • Head injuries
  • Internal injuries
  • Lacerations
  • Rib and torso injuries
  • Seat belt injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries

      “Mr. Glotzer represented me after I was involved in a car accident. I was badly injured,but the insurance company refused to offer me a reasonable settlement. I decided to find an attorney and decided to hire Josh.

      His law firm did a great job on my case. They were very responsive to all my questions and obtained a great resolution for me. I received way more money than was originally offered. I would recommend their firm to friends and family.”
