Car Accident Injuries
Car accidents are a leading cause of personal injury in Los Angeles County, often leaving victims with devastating injuries, financial stress, and emotional trauma.

At The King Law Firm, Kenneth King and his legal team have the expertise and resources to handle even the most challenging car accident cases, ensuring victims get the justice and compensation they deserve.
Comprehensive Legal Support for Car Accident Victims
Car accident claims can be complex, involving insurance adjusters, at-fault parties, and legal hurdles. Our team meticulously investigates every aspect of your accident to build a strong case. This includes:
Accident Reconstruction: Using advanced techniques to determine exactly how the crash occurred and who was at fault.
Medical Documentation: Collaborating with healthcare providers to document your injuries and long-term prognosis.
Witness Statements: Gathering testimony from eyewitnesses to strengthen your case.
Negotiating with Insurers: Fighting back against insurance companies that undervalue or deny legitimate claims.
Commercial Truck Accident Injuries
Commercial truck accidents are among the most severe and complex types of motor vehicle collisions due to the immense size and weight of these vehicles. A collision involving a fully loaded truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, causing catastrophic injuries and extensive property damage to passenger vehicles. At The King Law Firm, Kenneth King and his team have extensive experience navigating the complexities of commercial truck accident cases, ensuring that victims receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
Why Commercial Truck Accidents Are More Complex
Truck accident claims are far more intricate than typical car accident cases. They often involve multiple parties, including the truck driver, the trucking company, vehicle manufacturers, and even cargo loaders. Additionally, federal regulations set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) govern the trucking industry, which means these cases require an in-depth understanding of both state and federal laws.
Causes of Commercial Truck Accidents
Truck accidents are frequently the result of negligence, either on the part of the driver, the trucking company, or other third parties. Common causes include:
- Driver Fatigue: Despite federal limits on driving hours, truck drivers may exceed these limits to meet tight delivery schedules, leading to drowsy or impaired driving.
- Overloaded or Improperly Loaded Cargo: Incorrectly loaded cargo can shift during transit, causing the truck to become unstable and increasing the likelihood of a rollover or jackknife accident.
- Mechanical Failures: Poor maintenance, faulty brakes, or tire blowouts can lead to accidents, with liability often tracing back to the trucking company or maintenance provider.
- Reckless Driving: Speeding, aggressive driving, or distracted driving by truck drivers puts everyone on the road at risk.
- Substance Abuse: Some truck drivers resort to drugs or alcohol to cope with the demands of their job, impairing their ability to operate the vehicle safely.
Injuries Common in Truck Accidents
The force of a truck collision often leads to severe and life-altering injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Internal organ damage
- Severe burns and lacerations
- Broken bones and fractures
- Emotional trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Victims often face long-term or permanent disabilities that impact their ability to work, requiring substantial financial compensation to cover medical costs, lost wages, and ongoing care.
Holding Trucking Companies Accountable
At The King Law Firm, we leave no stone unturned when it comes to holding negligent trucking companies and drivers accountable. Our process includes:
- Thorough Investigations: We work with accident reconstruction experts to determine the exact cause of the accident and identify liable parties.
- Examining Logbooks and Records: Truck driver logs, maintenance records, and black box data are critical pieces of evidence in truck accident cases.
- Pursuing All Liable Parties: In addition to the truck driver, the trucking company, manufacturers of faulty parts, or cargo loaders may also share liability.
Recovering Compensation for Truck Accident Victims
Victims of truck accidents often require significant compensation to cover their extensive damages. Our team fights to secure compensation for:
- Medical Expenses: Including hospitalization, surgeries, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
- Lost Wages and Earning Potential: Compensation for time missed at work and the loss of future earning capacity due to permanent disabilities.
- Pain and Suffering: Damages for physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
- Property Damage: Covering vehicle repairs or replacement.
- Punitive Damages: In cases involving gross negligence, such as blatant safety violations, we may pursue punitive damages to punish wrongdoers.

With years of experience handling complex motorcycle accident claims, our team provides the expertise and compassion needed to help victims rebuild their lives.
Unique Challenges Motorcyclists Face
Riding a motorcycle in Los Angeles County presents unique challenges, including:
Limited Visibility: Motorcycles are smaller and less visible than cars, making them more susceptible to accidents caused by inattentive drivers.
Driver Negligence: Common issues include drivers failing to check blind spots, cutting off motorcyclists, or engaging in distracted driving.
Road Hazards: Potholes, debris, uneven pavement, and poor road maintenance can pose significant risks to motorcyclists.
Bias Against Riders: Motorcyclists often face unfair assumptions of recklessness, which can complicate their claims with insurance companies or in court.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents frequently result from the negligence of other drivers or external factors. Common causes include:
- Distracted Driving: Drivers texting, talking on the phone, or otherwise distracted may fail to notice motorcyclists on the road.
- Failure to Yield: Drivers making left-hand turns at intersections often misjudge the speed and distance of oncoming motorcycles, leading to collisions.
- Speeding: Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes.
- Impaired Driving: Drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol pose a significant risk to motorcyclists.
- Dooring Accidents: Motorcyclists may collide with suddenly opened car doors, particularly in urban areas.
Serious Injuries Resulting from Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents often result in severe, life-altering injuries due to the lack of physical protection for riders. Common injuries include:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Even with a helmet, riders can sustain serious head injuries that may result in long-term cognitive and physical impairments.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: These injuries can lead to partial or complete paralysis, drastically altering a victim’s quality of life.
- Fractures and Broken Bones: High-impact crashes often cause multiple fractures, requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.

Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Pedestrian accidents are some of the most dangerous and life-altering incidents on Los Angeles streets. Without the protection of a vehicle, pedestrians are completely exposed to the full force of an impact, often resulting in devastating injuries or fatalities. At The King Law Firm, Kenneth King and his dedicated legal team understand the challenges that injured pedestrians face. We are committed to holding negligent drivers accountable and ensuring our clients receive the compensation they need to recover physically, emotionally, and financially.
Why Pedestrian Accidents Are So Dangerous
Pedestrians have no physical barriers or safety features to protect them from the force of a collision. This vulnerability, combined with the high speeds of vehicles and the dense traffic in Los Angeles, makes pedestrian accidents particularly severe. Common causes of these accidents include:
Distracted Driving: Drivers texting, using their phones, or otherwise distracted may fail to see pedestrians in crosswalks or on the roadside.
Failure to Yield: Many pedestrian accidents occur at intersections when drivers fail to yield the right of way.
Speeding: High-speed collisions significantly increase the likelihood of fatal injuries to pedestrians.
Impaired Driving: Alcohol or drug use impairs drivers’ reaction times and decision-making abilities, often leading to catastrophic accidents.
Poor Visibility: Accidents are more likely to occur at night, in poor weather conditions, or in areas with inadequate lighting.
Common Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents
The lack of protection means pedestrians often sustain severe or catastrophic injuries. Common injuries include:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Head injuries caused by direct impact with a vehicle or the ground can lead to long-term cognitive and physical impairments.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: These injuries can result in partial or complete paralysis, profoundly affecting a victim’s quality of life.
- Broken Bones and Fractures: Pedestrians frequently suffer fractures in the legs, arms, and ribs due to the force of a collision.
- Internal Organ Damage: The impact of a vehicle can cause life-threatening internal injuries requiring immediate medical intervention.
- Lacerations and Soft Tissue Injuries: Severe cuts and abrasions can lead to infections, scarring, and long-term pain.

Bus Accident Injuries
Bus accidents are often devastating due to the size and weight of the vehicles involved, as well as the number of passengers they carry. Whether you were a passenger on the bus, a pedestrian struck by it, or the driver or occupant of another vehicle, the consequences can be severe. Bus accidents often lead to multiple victims, complex liability issues, and life-altering injuries. At The King Law Firm, Kenneth King and his legal team have the experience and resources to handle these challenging cases, ensuring victims receive the compensation they need to recover.
Why Bus Accidents Are Complicated
Bus accidents are more complex than standard vehicle collisions for several reasons:
Multiple Victims: With buses often carrying dozens of passengers, a single accident can result in numerous claims, each with unique circumstances and damages.
Liability Issues: Determining liability can be challenging, as multiple parties may share responsibility. These could include:
-
- The bus driver
- The bus company or transit authority
- Maintenance contractors
- Manufacturers of defective bus parts
- Government entities responsible for road conditions
Regulatory Oversight: Public and commercial buses are subject to federal, state, and local regulations, which can impact liability and the claims process. For example, claims against public transit systems may involve strict filing deadlines and additional procedural requirements.
Common Causes of Bus Accidents
Bus accidents are often preventable and caused by negligence or human error. Common causes include:
- Driver Fatigue: Long shifts or inadequate rest periods can impair a bus driver’s ability to operate safely.
- Distracted Driving: Drivers using phones, adjusting navigation systems, or engaging with passengers can lose focus, leading to accidents.
- Reckless or Impaired Driving: Speeding, aggressive driving, or operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs significantly increases the risk of collisions.
- Mechanical Failures: Poor maintenance, defective brakes, or tire blowouts can lead to loss of vehicle control.
- Unsafe Road Conditions: Potholes, poorly designed intersections, and inadequate signage can contribute to bus accidents.
- Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, or other adverse weather conditions can make it harder to maneuver large buses.
Types of Injuries in Bus Accidents
Bus accidents often result in severe injuries due to the lack of seatbelts and other safety features for passengers. Common injuries include:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Head injuries caused by sudden impacts or being thrown from a seat.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Leading to paralysis or chronic pain, these injuries are often life-altering.
- Broken Bones and Fractures: Common in high-impact collisions or when passengers are thrown from their seats.
- Lacerations and Soft Tissue Damage: Cuts and abrasions caused by shattered glass or other debris.
- Whiplash and Neck Injuries: Resulting from sudden jolts or impacts.

Dog Bite Injuries
Dog bites can cause serious physical and emotional injuries, leaving victims with long-term scars, medical expenses, and psychological trauma.

Whether you were bitten by a neighbor’s dog, a stray, or a dog in a public space, Kenneth King and his team will fight to hold the responsible parties accountable and secure justice for you.
California Dog Bite Laws
California operates under a strict liability rule for dog bites, meaning that a dog’s owner can be held liable for injuries their dog causes, even if the dog has no prior history of aggression. According to California Civil Code Section 3342, the owner is responsible if:
- The victim was lawfully in a public or private place, such as a park or someone else’s property.
- The bite caused injuries.
This strict liability applies regardless of whether the owner was negligent or if the dog had never bitten anyone before. However, there are exceptions, such as if the victim was trespassing or provoking the dog.
Common Causes of Dog Bite Incidents
Dog bites can happen under various circumstances, often due to the negligence of the dog’s owner. Common causes include:
- Failure to Leash: Allowing a dog to roam freely in public areas.
- Lack of Supervision: Leaving children or visitors alone with an untrained or aggressive dog.
- Negligent Training: Failing to properly socialize or train a dog.
- Provoked Aggression: Accidental or intentional provocation of a dog by its owner or others.
Types of Injuries Caused by Dog Bites
Dog bites can lead to a range of injuries, some of which require extensive medical treatment and leave lasting physical or emotional scars. Common injuries include:
- Puncture Wounds and Lacerations: Deep bite wounds can damage muscles, tendons, and nerves.
- Infections: Bacteria in a dog’s mouth can lead to serious infections such as rabies, tetanus, or cellulitis.
- Disfigurement and Scarring: Severe bites can result in permanent scars, especially on visible areas like the face or hands.
- Fractures and Broken Bones: Large dogs can cause fractures by biting or knocking victims to the ground.
- Emotional Trauma: Victims, especially children, may develop anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after an attack.
Compensation for Dog Bite Victims
Dog bite victims may be entitled to compensation for the following damages:
- Medical Expenses: Covering the cost of emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatments for infections or scarring.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed at work due to recovery.
- Pain and Suffering: Damages for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.

These claims are intended to hold negligent parties accountable while providing financial compensation to the deceased’s family for their losses.
Wrongful death claims often arise from situations such as:
Motor Vehicle Accidents: Including car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, or pedestrian accidents caused by negligent or impaired drivers.
Medical Malpractice: Fatal errors by healthcare providers, such as misdiagnoses, surgical mistakes, or improper treatment.
Workplace Accidents: Fatal injuries caused by unsafe working conditions or equipment.
Defective Products: Dangerous or faulty products that cause fatal injuries.
Premises Liability: Fatal accidents resulting from hazardous property conditions, such as slip and falls, drowning, or structural collapses.
Acts of Violence: Deaths caused by criminal actions or negligent security.
