Why Choosing the Right Truck Accident Lawyer Matters
If you’ve been injured in a truck accident in Los Angeles, your choice of lawyer is critical. Truck accidents often involve complex liability issues, especially when large trucking companies and their insurers are involved. These accidents can result in catastrophic injuries, and the insurance companies will often attempt to offer you a quick settlement to minimize their payout.
Just recently, Peerali Law received a call from a client in a common situation:
- You’re involved in a truck accident and sustain injuries
- Your receive medical treatment
- You receive a call from an insurance company representative
- You’re offered a payment to “help with medical costs”
- You’re asked to sign documents to approve the payment
If you sign, you may be giving up your right to any further compensation. Even if your future medical bills far outweigh that initial offer.
CASE STUDY
How Peerali Law Secured 4x A Client’s Original Offer
In one recent multi-vehicle crash case, a client called Peerali Law in a tricky situation. Their attorney got a rapid $74,000 offer from the at-fault party’s insurer. The client was under pressure to accept quickly. But our Co-Founding Partner Kristopher Peerali took over the case and brought in expert medical witnesses to assess the long-term impact of the injuries. Their analysis showed that the future costs of treatment, rehabilitation, and the effect on the client’s earning capacity far exceeded the initial offer.
Within just three weeks, Peerali Law secured a $300,000 settlement—roughly four times the original offer.

How Do I Know I Have a Trucking Accident Case?
Not every injury sustained in a truck accident can lead a successful claim. However, certain factors validate and strengthen a lawsuit. At Peerali Law, when consulting with clients following a truck accident injury we will ask for details surrounding:
- Medical treatment received immediately after the accident
- Police reports, eyewitnesses and dashcam footage
- Lost wages or time off work
- Rehabilitation and therapy you may be undergoing
- Pain and suffering
- Any emotional distress, PTSD, or loss of enjoyment of life
- Damage to your vehicle and personal property
- Disfigurement or visible scarring as a result of the accident
- Contact having been made by the at-fault party’s insurer
In order to prepare a strong case, the attorney must not only prove liability but also quantify the entire future impact of the injury.
If you’re not sure about your situation, we can review your case for free and tell you exactly where you stand.
How Much Are the Legal Fees?
At Peerali Law, we operate on a no-win, no-fee model. This means you pay nothing upfront, and you owe us nothing unless we win your case.
Across the United States, contingency fees for personal injury cases generally range from 33%-40%, and may increase if a case goes to trial. Some firms also add extra fees or charge back expenses to the client—often without making this clear at the start of representation.
We don’t believe in hidden costs. Peerali Law provides transparent, written fee agreements so you know exactly what to expect. Many of our clients appreciate that we honor the terms of our contracts—with no surprise charges later. As one client shared in a five-star review:
“I am very happy with the settlement results… Peerali Law firm also did not charge me extra money as agreed upon in the retainer contract. They honored to stay at their minimum fee which meant a lot to me.” — L.F. (Yelp Review)
