The Rise In Truck Accidents
“These cases have become more and more common the more you have these owner-operator type situations. So you have a lot of solo drivers who own their own truck and a lot of these people, unfortunately, try and run lines that are too long and they wind up piecemealing their maintenance together.”

What Is a Truck Accident Personal Injury Case?
A truck accident lawyer helps people who were hurt in crashes involving large trucks, like semi-trucks or delivery trucks. A truck accident lawyer works to prove that someone else was at fault and helps you get compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and more.
The best truck accident lawyers know the routines, schedules, business arrangements and lifestyle of truck drivers. They also know the details of exactly how these large trucks function and the technology they use. These are key pieces of information when it comes to establishing wrong doing and winning your case.
What Do I Need to Do to Receive Compensation for a Truck Accident Case?
To get compensation, you need to prove that the other person was negligent. This means showing they did something wrong that caused the accident. Here’s how negligence works:
- Duty: The truck driver had a duty to drive safely.
- Breach: The truck driver didn’t follow that duty (for example, by speeding or driving while tired).
- Causation: The truck driver’s actions caused the accident.
- Damages: You were hurt because of the accident.
In Colorado, there’s something called contributory negligence. This means that if you were partly at fault for the accident, your compensation might be reduced. But as long as you’re less than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages.
Who Is Responsible for My Injuries?
In a truck accident case, there could be several parties responsible for your injuries. The truck driver might be at fault, but other people could be responsible too, like:
- The trucking company
- The company that loaded the truck
- The truck manufacturer (if there was a defect)
We’ll investigate your case to figure out who is liable for your injuries.
What Compensation Can I Receive in a Truck Accident Case?
After a truck accident, you can receive compensation (money) for things like:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages (if you couldn’t work)
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage (like car repairs)
We’ll work hard to make sure you get the compensation you need to recover.
What Are the Potential Sources of Recovery?
There are several places where your compensation might come from, including:
- The truck driver’s insurance
- The trucking company’s insurance
- Your own insurance, if the other driver doesn’t have enough coverage
