Injured in an accident in Long Beach? Moe Abdallah Law, P.C. represents crash victims across Long Beach and greater Los Angeles, cars, trucks, motorcycles, pedestrians, and fatal collisions. Free consultation, no fee unless we win.
If you were hurt in a crash in Long Beach, a Long Beach car accident lawyer at Moe Abdallah Law, P.C. can take on the insurer and fight for the full value of your injuries. Long Beach is California's ninth-largest city and home to one of the busiest container ports in the country, so the streets and freeways here carry a heavy mix of commuter, tourist, and commercial-truck traffic. We know these roads, we know how local injury cases move through the South District court, and we build every claim to be ready for trial. You pay nothing unless we win.
We handle every motor-vehicle injury case type for Long Beach residents, dealing with the insurers directly while you focus on recovery.
The Port of Long Beach moves millions of containers a year, and that cargo rides out on trucks. Much of it funnels onto the I-710, the Long Beach Freeway, which runs straight from the port through the heart of the city. Heavy big-rig traffic packed in with commuters is a recipe for serious collisions. Add the convergence of the I-405 (San Diego Freeway), the I-710, the I-605 (San Gabriel River Freeway), and SR-22 (Garden Grove Freeway), and you get some of the most congested interchanges in the region. Off the freeways, downtown arterials, beach-area streets near Belmont Shore and Naples, and dense residential zones bring their own risks: pedestrians, cyclists, and turning cars all sharing tight space. Commercial-truck crashes in particular tend to leave severe injuries, because the size and weight difference is so lopsided. Each crash leaves evidence, from truck logs to camera footage, and much of it disappears fast.
Personal-injury cases arising in Long Beach are heard at the Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse at 275 Magnolia Ave. It is a 31-courtroom facility that handles unlimited civil matters for the South District, so a serious injury lawsuit filed here stays local rather than being pushed downtown. Knowing how this court and its judges handle motor-vehicle claims is part of building a case that gets results. Long Beach also has strong trauma care close at hand, which matters after a bad crash. MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center is a Level II trauma center, and Dignity Health St. Mary Medical Center is a Level II trauma center as well. If you were taken to either after your collision, those records become a backbone of your claim. We gather the full medical picture from the emergency room through your last day of treatment, then tie it to the crash so the insurer cannot pretend your injuries were minor or already there.
Right after a Long Beach collision, get medical care even if you feel okay, because adrenaline hides injuries and a gap in treatment is the first thing an adjuster uses to cut your claim. Call police, get the report number, and photograph the vehicles, the scene, and your injuries. Collect the other driver's insurance and plate, plus any witness names. Do not give a recorded statement to the other side's insurer, and do not take an early offer before you talk to a lawyer. Local knowledge counts most in port and commercial-truck cases. A trucking company and its insurer move fast to protect themselves, and evidence like driver logs, the truck's black-box data, dispatch records, and camera footage from the 710 corridor can vanish within days. We know which parties to put on notice, from the driver to the carrier to the cargo company, and we act quickly to lock down proof while your case is still fresh. Neighborhoods we serve include Belmont Shore, Naples, Bixby Knolls, Downtown, California Heights, and Los Cerritos, across ZIP codes 90802, 90803, 90804, 90806, 90807, and 90813.
Personal-injury cases arising in Long Beach are heard at the Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse at 275 Magnolia Ave. It is a 31-courtroom facility that handles unlimited civil matters for the South District, so a serious injury claim stays local. Most cases settle before trial, but we prepare every one as if it will be tried there.
In most cases you have two years from the date of the crash under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1. If a government entity is involved, such as a city bus or a public vehicle, you may have as little as six months to file an administrative claim under Government Code § 911.2. Call as soon as you can so evidence can be saved.
The Port of Long Beach feeds heavy big-rig traffic onto the I-710 and the I-405, and truck crashes tend to cause severe injuries because of the size difference. These cases can involve the driver, the trucking company, and the cargo company, and key evidence like driver logs and black-box data disappears fast. We move quickly to put the right parties on notice and secure that proof.
Yes. California follows pure comparative negligence, so you can recover even if you were partly, or mostly, at fault, with your award reduced by your percentage of fault (Li v. Yellow Cab Co.). Insurers overstate your share of blame to pay less. We push back with evidence from the scene, the vehicles, and any camera footage.
Long Beach has two Level II trauma centers: MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center and Dignity Health St. Mary Medical Center. If you were treated at either after your collision, those records become a core part of your claim. We gather your full medical file, from the emergency room through your last visit, and connect it to the crash.
Get medical attention even if you feel okay, call the police so there's a report, photograph the vehicles, the scene, and your injuries, and get the other driver's license, insurance, and plate plus any witness names. Don't give the other driver's insurer a recorded statement. Then call us at (323) 716-1992 and we'll take it from there.
You may still be covered through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, and in hit-and-run cases we work with investigators to identify the driver. Call us and we'll walk you through your options.
Yes. In California you can pursue an injury claim no matter your immigration status, and your status generally isn't relevant to the at-fault driver's responsibility. What you share with us stays confidential.
Maybe not. California usually gives you two years from the date of the crash to file (California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1), and less time if a government vehicle or agency was involved. Even months later there may still be time, so call us before you assume it's too late.
