Los Angeles County Truck Accident Lawyer — Djougourian Law Corporation

Truck Accident Representation in Los Angeles County

Djougourian Law Corp handles truck accident claims for injured people in Los Angeles County. Its founder, Arthur Djougourian, is a trial attorney and Pepperdine University School of Law graduate who was selected to Super Lawyers Rising Stars in 2022. The firm’s reported truck accident results include a $3,856,516 jury verdict and settlements of $2 million, $250,000 and $150,000. From the Burbank office, the firm helps clients understand the evidence and legal issues involved in a commercial-vehicle collision.

Past results do not guarantee, warrant or predict the outcome of your case. Outcomes depend on the facts, evidence, applicable law and circumstances of each matter.

Evidence That May Matter After a Truck Collision

A truck crash investigation may require more than a police report. Depending on the vehicle and circumstances, relevant evidence can include driver logs, onboard recordings, dispatch communications, maintenance records, photographs and witness accounts. These records can help explain how the collision happened and which people or businesses may be responsible.

Save the information you already have, including photographs of the truck’s identifying markings, the location of the collision and correspondence from insurers. Ask about preserving records promptly because some evidence may be overwritten or become harder to obtain with time.

Leo Aguillon

Researching for the best lawyer for my injury was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. I did the work for you, look no further. Arthur and Jacqui will work hard and advocate for you all the way to get you the maximum settlement. I was even more confident if my case would have went to trial.

I was in a car wreck when a cement truck decided to run a red light causing me to swerve into oncoming traffic. I reached out to different firms but many either didn’t respond back or didn’t want to take the case. Arthur took me on as a client without hesitation and was nothing but respectful and communicated with me every step of the way. I am appreciative of him and his team and I highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone to help you with a personal injury!

How the Process Works

Free Consultation

We begin with a no-cost case review — you tell us about the accident, we evaluate liability and potential damages, and explain your rights and legal options.

Investigation

Truck accident cases require thorough investigation. We collect police reports, the truck’s black box data, driver logs, maintenance records, cargo manifests, witness statements, surveillance footage, and accident scene evidence. We work with accident reconstructionists and trucking industry experts to establish negligence.

Identifying All Liable Parties

Truck accident liability often extends beyond the driver. Potentially liable parties include:

• The truck driver
• The trucking company
• The cargo loading company
• Truck or parts manufacturers (in defect cases)
• Maintenance and repair companies
• Third-party logistics companies
• Port operators (in drayage truck accidents)
• Other negligent drivers

Medical Documentation

We coordinate with your doctors, specialists, and rehabilitation providers to document the full extent of your injuries, treatment needs, and future care requirements — including long-term disability and life care planning.

Claim Preparation & Negotiation

We calculate your economic and non-economic damages, including medical expenses, lost earnings, future lost income, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life, and then negotiate with the trucking company’s insurer for fair compensation. Many interstate motor carriers must maintain minimum levels of financial responsibility, set by federal rule at $750,000 to $5 million depending on the cargo (49 CFR 387.9). Intrastate carriers and smaller vehicles can be subject to different requirements, so the coverage in your case has to be confirmed.

Litigation (If Necessary)

If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we file suit in the appropriate Los Angeles County court and prepare your case for jury trial — giving your claim maximum leverage.

Resolution

Once your case resolves via settlement or verdict, we help you manage medical liens and insurance obligations to ensure you keep as much of your recovery as possible.
