Long Beach 710 Freeway Accident Attorney
710 Freeway – Site of many Big Rig Accidents
The 710 freeway ("Long Beach Freeway") experiences heavy big rig traffic. The freeway, which runs 23 miles, from Long Beach to Alhambra, connects the Port of Long Beach to the Port of Los Angeles, and to the rail yards in East Los Angeles and Vernon. 16% of the vehicles traveling the 710 freeway are 18-wheelers hauling cargo from the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. Tractor trailers carrying cargo loads are a common cause of 710 freeway accidents.
The Long Beach Freeway was not originally designed to carry the heavy volume of truck traffic that it currently experiences, and as a result, the freeway's pavement has been badly damaged. The state of disrepair of the 710 freeway makes it even more dangerous to freeway drivers.
Freeway Accidents can Result in Serious Injuries
When an accident happens on a freeway, the damage and injuries that result can be serious. The vehicles were likely traveling at a high rate of speed and if a truck was involved, the truck's size and weight will compound the force of the impact.
Injuries resulting from a freeway accident can include:
- Spinal cord injuries

- Brain injuries
- Annular tears
- Complex regional pain syndrome
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Death
- Aggravation of a prior medical condition
