Truck Accidents are Complicated

Just like any auto accident, an accident involving a semi-truck or large commercial vehicle can drastically change your life.

Different from a regular car accident, commercial truck and semi-truck accidents are much more complicated legally, due to the potential number of negligent parties in addition to the driver alone, such as the trucking company, the truck manufacturer, etc.

• More parties may be responsible for a truck accident — In addition to the truck driver and the insurance company, you may also be dealing with trucking companies, employers, manufacturers, etc.. Not only does this complicate the liability issues significantly, but it can also be overwhelmingly intimidating for individuals.
• Negligence Tied with Complex Regulations — Proving negligence in a car accident often means finding which driver violated a traffic law. When it is a truck accident, the negligent action could be associated with apparent violations or in many cases, regulations such as loading requirements, inspections, and compliance issues between the truckers and the truck companies, etc. Without specialized knowledge in the trucking laws, it can be difficult to assess the options accurately.

Importance of Having an Experienced Truck Accident Lawyer in Denver

Whether you were injured by a tractor-trailer while traveling an interstate, a state road, or injured by a delivery truck on your street, you will need a top truck accident lawyer that knows how to manage and litigate big truck accidents.

Finding an injury attorney with experience litigating accidents where tractor trailers or large trucks are involved is crucial. If you’ve been injured by a tractor-trailer or other commercial vehicle then you need an accident attorney with the knowledge and resources to analyze how the accident happened, what factors may have caused the accident, such as driver fatigue, drugs and alcohol, or improper loading, and then how to use that information to make sure you get the recovery you deserve.

Efficiently and aggressively managing the many moving parts of this type of lawsuits is how we have obtained billions of dollars for our clients.

Truck Accident Injuries

The types of injuries that occur when you are injured by a tractor-trailer or other large trucks can be catastrophic, even at low speeds. Many of our clients have suffered from the following types of injuries related to collisions with trucks:

Back and Neck Injuries
Ranging from minor neck pain to serious dislocated discs in the spine

Head Injuries
Head injuries may result in brain trauma, which can be life-altering and heartbreaking, as they can cause loss of motor functions and cognitive functions

Internal Bleeding
This type of internal injuries can involve the spleen, liver, bladder, pancreas, or kidney, which can be difficult to treat

Torso Injuries
Broken ribs are particularly dangerous because of the vital organs they surround

Wrongful Death
Unfortunately, the severity of damage involved in truck accidents is significantly more likely to kill someone than a regular car crash

An Experienced Truck Accident Lawyer Can Establish Driver Negligence in Accident Cases

Every case should be prepared as if litigation will be required, so you need an accident attorney experienced with litigating cases with tractor trailers, semi-trucks, and other large commercial vehicles. Those vehicles operate under federal regulations, which often vary depending on the weight, type of cargo, and other factors. Thousands of commercial trucks are involved in crashes on federal and state roads, often due to reckless driving, but also because of carelessness on behalf of the companies employing those drivers. If you’ve been injured by a tractor-trailer or other large commercial vehicle then you need a law firm that knows and understands those regulations and how the failure to comply with those rules may have caused your accident.

The trucking companies and their insurers are not going to just pay you fairly for your injuries. They will use every means possible to minimize your injuries and their liability. You need a personal injury lawyer that knows how to obtain the necessary information to prove your case, and the skills and experience to put that information to work to get you the compensation you deserve.
