Burbank Truck Accident Lawyer
Truck accidents are significantly more complex because they involve federal regulations (FMCSA) and multiple liable parties. Unlike a car crash where you only deal with one driver, a truck accident may involve the driver, the trucking company, the cargo loaders, and even the vehicle manufacturers. At the Law Office of Egishe Avetisian, we know how to navigate these "multi-party" lawsuits to ensure no stone is left unturned.
Trucking companies keep "Black Boxes" (Electronic Logging Devices) that record speed, braking, and hours driven. We act quickly to issue a "Letter of Preservation" to prevent the trucking company from destroying this data or the driver’s logs. We also gather satellite GPS data, maintenance records, and dashcam footage to prove if the driver was fatigued, speeding, or driving an unsafe vehicle.
Absolutely not. Trucking companies have "Rapid Response" teams that arrive at crash scenes within hours to protect their bottom line. Their goal is to get you to admit partial fault or accept a lowball settlement before you know the full extent of your injuries. You should never sign anything or give a recorded statement until you have consulted with a Burbank truck accident lawyer.
Responsibility often extends beyond the driver. We investigate whether the trucking company pushed the driver to exceed legal "Hours of Service," whether the truck was poorly maintained, or if the cargo was loaded improperly—causing the truck to jackknife. By identifying every responsible party, we can maximize the compensation available for your medical bills and long-term care.
Generally, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in California. however, if the truck was owned by a government entity (like a city maintenance truck), that timeline could be as short as six months. Because evidence in trucking cases (like driver logs) can be legally destroyed after a certain period, it is vital to start your investigation immediately.

Navigating the aftermath of an accident is overwhelming. Whether you are dealing with a minor injury or a life-altering event, the right legal guidance is the turning point in your recovery journey. At Law office of Egishe Avetisian, we specialize in turning the tide for our clients by securing the justice and compensation they deserve.
Insurance adjusters often call unrepresented victims in Glendale or Burbank shortly after an accident, offering a quick cash settlement. While this may seem helpful, these "lowball" offers are designed to close your case for pennies on the dollar before you even realize the full extent of your injuries.
Without a lawyer, you are often subjected to the "3 D's": Delaying your claim until you are financially desperate, Denying liability even when their driver is at fault, and Defending their bottom line at your expense. They count on your lack of legal leverage to avoid paying what is rightfully yours.
Adjusters may sound friendly, but they are trained to ask leading questions that trick you into admitting fault. In Los Angeles, these recorded statements are used later to reduce your compensation. Our office protects you by handling all communications in English, Russian, or Armenian, ensuring your words are never twisted.
We believe everyone deserves access to high-quality legal representation. Our Contingency Fee Policy (often called "No Win, No Fee") is designed to minimize your financial risk: Zero Upfront Costs: You don’t pay a dime out of pocket to start your case. Invested in Your Success: We only get paid if we win your case. This ensures we work diligently to maximize your recovery. Focus on Healing: Leave the legal complexities to us while you focus on your physical and emotional recovery.
