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.”
Jason Jordan
What Is A Truck Accident Personal Injury Case?
A truck accident case happens when someone is hurt in an accident with a large truck, like a semi-truck. These accidents are often more serious than regular car accidents because trucks are so much bigger and heavier. Truck accidents can cause major injuries and even death.
What Do I Need To Do To Receive Compensation For A Truck Accident?
To receive compensation, you need to show that someone else was at fault for the accident. This is done by proving negligence.
Negligence means that someone didn’t act carefully, and because of that, someone got hurt. To win your case, you need to prove:
- Duty: The other person had a responsibility to act safely.
- Breach: They did not act safely and broke that responsibility.
- Causation: Their unsafe actions caused your injuries.
- Damages: You suffered harm, such as medical bills, lost wages, or pain.
In Colorado, there’s something called contributory negligence. This means that if you were partly responsible for the accident, your compensation could be reduced. If you were more than 50% at fault, you might not get anything at all.
Liability: Who Is Responsible For My Injuries?
In a truck accident case, more than one person could be responsible for your injuries. This might include:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- The truck manufacturer (if a part failed)
- Another driver on the road
Our lawyers will look into every detail of your case to make sure the right people are held accountable.
Damages: What Compensation Can I Receive In A Truck Accident Case?
If you’ve been hurt in a truck accident, you could receive compensation for:
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages if you can’t work
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage (like car repairs)
What Are The Potential Sources Of Recovery?
