If you have been injured in a truck accident in Beverly Hills, The Injury Partners is ready to fight for you and your family. Our founding attorneys Daniel Sabetand Omeed Hakimianpour, a Super Lawyers® Rising Stars honoree for 2025 and 2026, handle 18-wheeler, semi-truck, big rig, and delivery truck crash claims throughout Beverly Hills and Los Angeles County. Because federal FMCSA regulations and California’s two-year filing deadline under CCP § 335.1 both apply, acting early protects your case. You will work directly with a founding attorney, and you can reach us 24/7 at (310) 220-0066 for a free consultation. You pay nothing unless we win.
A fully loaded commercial truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. If you were in a passenger car at roughly 4,000 pounds, that weight gap explains the severity of your injuries. A truck that size takes far longer to stop — approximately 525 feet at 55 mph, compared to roughly 300 feet for a passenger car — hits far harder, and is far more likely to roll. If you were hurt in a standard vehicle collision, our Beverly Hills car accident lawyer page covers those claims in detail.
Federal FMCSA regulations control how long a truck driver can operate, when drug and alcohol testing is required, how the vehicle must be maintained, and how cargo must be loaded. California negligence law works alongside those federal rules, giving your attorney additional grounds to build your claim. Commercial trucks operating in California must also comply with California Air Resources Board (CARB) diesel emissions regulations, adding another regulatory layer to trucking operations in the state. Most commercial trucking policies carry between $750,000 and $5 million or more in coverage. Your claim could involve the driver, the motor carrier, the cargo loader, the maintenance contractor, or the truck manufacturer.
If your accident happened in Beverly Hills, you already know how much commercial truck traffic moves through the area. Delivery trucks serve Rodeo Drive retail shops, the Cedars-Sinai medical district, and businesses along Wilshire Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard daily. The steady flow of commercial vehicles feeding these corridors means Beverly Hills residents and visitors face daily exposure to heavy truck traffic in a compact 5.7-square-mile urban environment. Trucks moving through La Cienega Boulevard, Doheny Drive, and Robertson Boulevard connect to the I-405, I-10, and US-101, and all of that traffic packed into a small footprint means truck accidents here are not rare.
If you are looking for a truck accident attorney in Beverly Hills, you need a firm that can go up against trucking companies, corporate defense teams, and commercial carriers with seven-figure policies. The Injury Partners personal injury lawyer Beverly Hills offers the strength of a top firm with the care of a boutique. Founding attorney Daniel Sabet is a Super Lawyers® Rising Stars honoree for 2025 and 2026 — a distinction limited to the top 2.5% of California attorneys.

Omeed Hakimianpour earned his undergraduate degree at UCLA and his J.D. from USC Gould School of Law. He trained at Kirkland & Ellis, one of the world’s largest law firms, where he negotiated multimillion- and billion-dollar transactions against corporate counsel — that same intensity is now applied to taking on trucking companies, their insurers, and their defense teams on your behalf. Daniel Sabet completed the prestigious SCALE accelerated J.D. program at Southwestern Law School in just two years and built his career entirely around personal injury litigation, holding corporations and insurers accountable. You can meet our founding attorneys to learn more about their backgrounds.
We work with accident reconstruction experts, medical providers, and litigation professionals to put together the strongest possible case. In a truck accident claim, that preparation is the difference between a lowball offer and a result that reflects the full scope of your injuries.
When you call our firm, you speak directly with a founding attorney. We do not route you through an intake representative or hand your case to a case manager only. In a truck accident case, that direct access matters because critical trucking records need to be preserved quickly, sometimes within days. A founding attorney already on your case can send spoliation letters and review initial evidence before the trucking company’s legal team has a chance to let records disappear. We are available 24/7 and personally manage each case from our Beverly Hills office.

The truck accidents we handle in Beverly Hills range from highway semi-truck rollovers to delivery van collisions in retail zones. Each crash type and underlying cause points to different liable parties and different evidence.
Connector ramps to the I-405 and I-10 funnel heavy commercial traffic through Beverly Hills streets, adding to the risk. If a rideshare vehicle was also involved in your crash, our Uber accident attorney Beverly Hills page may be relevant to your situation.
If you were hurt in a truck accident, more than one party is almost certainly responsible. Your claim likely involves California negligence law, federal FMCSA regulations, contracts between the carrier and shipper, and multiple corporate insurance policies.
| Party | Legal Basis for Liability | Typical Evidence |
| Truck driver | Negligent driving, fatigue, distraction, impairment, speeding, unsafe lane changes | Police report, witness statements, dashcam footage, ELD logs, drug/alcohol test results |
| Motor carrier or trucking company | Vicarious liability, negligent hiring, training, supervision, or retention | Driver qualification file, training records, safety history, dispatch records, company policies |
| Broker or shipper | Negligent selection, unsafe scheduling pressure, cargo-related responsibility | Shipping contracts, broker files, dispatch communications, delivery timelines |
| Cargo loader | Improperly loaded, overloaded, or unsecured cargo | Bills of lading, cargo photos, weight records, loading records |
| Maintenance contractor | Negligent inspection, repair, or maintenance | Maintenance logs, inspection records, repair invoices, mechanic notes |
| Truck or parts manufacturer | Product liability for defective brakes, tires, underride guards, steering, or other components | Recall records, expert inspection, parts records, failure analysis |
| Public entity | Dangerous road condition, unsafe design, missing signage, or poor maintenance | Road-condition photos, Caltrans records, city maintenance records, prior complaints |
| Third-party driver | Independent negligence contributing to the crash | Police report, witness statements, video footage, insurance records |
Most California truck accident injury lawsuits must be filed within two years under CCP § 335.1. If a public entity may share responsibility, you could have as little as six months to submit a government claim under Government Code § 911.2. That shorter deadline can apply when dangerous road design, unsafe signage, or poorly maintained public infrastructure contributed to your crash. The City of Beverly Hills, Caltrans, and Los Angeles County are all examples of entities that could trigger this faster timeline. Truck accident cases filed in Beverly Hills are heard in Los Angeles Superior Court, including the Beverly Hills Courthouse at 9355 Burton Way. Evidence deadlines are often even shorter than legal deadlines, which is why contacting an attorney early protects both your rights and your proof.
Yes. California follows a pure comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you share some responsibility for the crash. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If a court finds you 20% responsible and your damages total $500,000, your recovery would be $400,000. Trucking companies and their insurers frequently try to shift blame to you, another motorist, a cargo loader, a maintenance contractor, or a public entity. Strong evidence preservation helps counter those arguments because trucking records often tell a very different story than the one the carrier wants to present.
California does not cap most economic and non-economic damages in truck accident cases, which means the compensation you pursue is tied to your actual losses. Because the injuries are often severe and the insurance policies are larger, what you can recover in a truck accident case is often significantly more than in a standard car crash.
Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety confirms that large truck crashes produce disproportionately severe injuries and fatalities compared to passenger vehicle collisions. IIHS research on underride guard standards has documented the particular danger of underride collisions, where a passenger vehicle slides beneath the truck’s trailer.
Higher commercial coverage does not automatically mean you will receive a larger recovery. What you ultimately receive depends on the strength of your evidence, the severity of your injuries, and how effectively we manage insurance negotiations or pursue litigation on your behalf. Medical liens from Medi-Cal, Medicare, ERISA plans, and health insurers can also reduce your net recovery, so we need to account for those before you accept any offer.

There is no standard average because every case depends on injury severity, liability evidence, FMCSA violations, commercial insurance limits, future medical needs, and comparative fault. Commercial truck policies typically carry $750,000 to $5 million or more in coverage — far more than a passenger vehicle’s $30,000 California minimum — which is why aggressive representation and thorough evidence preservation matter so much. We can evaluate the specific facts of your case during a free consultation and give you an honest assessment of where you stand.
Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case is unique.
The first hours and days after a truck accident matter more than most people realize. Medical documentation, liability evidence, and trucking company records all need to be secured quickly.
One of the biggest mistakes after a truck accident is saying too much to a commercial insurer.
You should not give a recorded statement, sign documents, or accept an offer from the trucking company’s insurer before speaking with an attorney. Notifying your own insurance company is one thing. Sitting down with a commercial trucking adjuster whose job is to protect the carrier is something else entirely. Commercial trucking insurers may investigate within hours, send rapid-response teams to the crash scene, preserve evidence that favors their defense, and push comparative fault arguments before your full medical picture is clear.
If you sign a release or accept an early settlement, you lose the right to pursue additional compensation as the full extent of your injuries becomes clear. Our team can step in quickly to handle all insurer communication and protect your evidence from the start.
Truck accident cases move fast on the defense side — and they should move just as fast on yours. Trucking companies and their insurers dispatch rapid-response teams within hours of a collision to begin building their case. Having an experienced Beverly Hills truck accident lawyer working on your behalf from day one levels that playing field.
At The Injury Partners, you will work directly with our attorneys, including Daniel Sabet, a Super Lawyers® Rising Stars honoree in both 2025 and 2026 — a distinction awarded to fewer than 2.5% of California attorneys. We bring that same caliber of preparation to every truck accident claim we handle in Beverly Hills and throughout Los Angeles County.
Your consultation is completely free, and we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We take every truck accident case on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you — no retainers, no hourly billing, and no out-of-pocket costs at any point.
Acting quickly also protects your case. California Code of Civil Procedure §335.1 imposes a two-year deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit, but key evidence in truck accident cases can vanish long before that. Federal regulations require electronic logging device data to be retained for only six months, and some carriers overwrite onboard camera footage, dispatch logs, and maintenance records even sooner. The earlier you contact us, the sooner we can send spoliation letters and preservation demands to secure the evidence that proves liability.
