Why You Need an Attorney for Your Truck Accident Case
While these elements may seem straightforward, proving a truck accident claim can be very complex. You may have to face the truck driver’s employer in the courtroom, and corporate and government attorneys prepare strong defenses for their clients. They may claim you were at fault for the accident, harming your chances of claiming the funds you need to recover and possibly reducing your award.
In these situations, Jordan Law can help. Your attorney will conduct a full-scale investigation into your accident and collect all available pieces of evidence to prove the at-fault party’s negligence. He or she will request evidence from the trucker’s employer you may not have access to in order to pinpoint the cause of the accident, helping you build a strong case for your compensation.
Frequently Asked Truck Accident Questions
What To Do After a Truck Accident in Fort Collins?
The moments after a truck accident can be frightening and disorienting. However, these moments are some of the most crucial for your future claim — and if you can move safely and without causing further injury, you can take the following steps to collect necessary evidence for your future case.
- Call 911. This will bring police and emergency medical services to the scene, both of which are vital for your claim. Speak to the responding police officer and collect his or her badge number so you can find the accident report later.
- Seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if you do not feel any injuries. You may have internal injuries you are not aware of or shock is numbing the pain. Your medical records will be a crucial piece of evidence in your claim, so see a doctor as soon as possible.
- Take pictures of the scene. Make sure to capture all vehicles involved, as well as your injuries and the area around the accident.
- Exchange information with the other drivers, including the truck driver. Collect contact information, license and insurance details, and, in the case of the truck driver, his or her employer’s information.
- If there are any witnesses around the area, collect their contact information as well. These individuals can provide testimony in your future claim.
What Are Common Injuries in Truck Accidents?
Truck accidents can be devastating, leading to severe, life-altering injuries that require long term care. Some of the most common truck accident injuries include the following.
- Broken bones and fractures
- Back and neck injuries, including dislocated spinal discs
- Head injuries, including traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Cuts and lacerations
- Internal organ damage, along with rib and torso injuries
How to Prove a Colorado Truck Accident Claim
To collect compensation in a truck accident lawsuit or insurance claim, you will need to prove that negligence occurred and that the at-fault party was responsible for the accident. The at-fault party in your claim may be the driver, but is likely to be his or her employer.
You and your attorney will need to prove the following four elements to establish negligence:
- The at-fault party owed you a duty of care. This duty can include driving safely and following traffic laws, adhering to government regulations, and performing proper maintenance.
- The at-fault party breached his or her duty of care to you. Your attorney will help you determine the cause of the accident so you can identify this breach of care.
- The breach of care directly caused your injuries. Your medical records and witness testimony, along with medical expert witnesses, can help prove this element.
- You suffered damages as a result of your injuries you can collect in your lawsuit. Your attorney will help you identify which damages you qualify for.
