Trucks often weigh several thousands of pounds, and the impact from a truck accident can be devastating. Truck accidents are no laughing matter, and if you or a loved one has been hurt in an accident with a semi-tractor trailer or other commercial vehicle, you should get serious legal representation immediately. At Cook, Bradford & Levy, LLC, our truck accident lawyers in Brighton have recovered tens of millions of dollars for our clients. We invite you to call us today at 303-543-1000 for a free consultation about your case.

Building a Truck Accident Case the Right Way

Truck accidents are different than car accidents for one main fundamental reason: the forces involved are extreme. When you combine the weight of a large truck with the weight of the load it is carrying, trucks can become lethal weapons. A good Brighton trucking attorney knows that, because of this, not just anyone can drive a commercial vehicle. The US Department of Transportation requires stringent training, operating, and maintenance before a driver or truck is deemed roadworthy and safe.

A good trucking accident lawyer knows the safety rules that govern commercial vehicles, and can hold trucking companies and their drivers accountable when carelessness or negligence leads to an accident. At Cook, Bradford & Levy, LLC, we have represented trucking accident victims in several counties across Colorado, including Adams County. When we work up a case, we often employ the help of nationally-recognized trucking experts who can write reports and testify about the specific safety violations that led to the collision or dangerous situation. If need be, our legal team also has contacts across the country who we can retain as consultants or hire as co-counsel when appropriate.

Working With Medical Providers and Character Witnesses

A trucking accident case has three main components: liability (who is at fault), causation (did the accident cause your injuries), and damages (how much were you hurt). Our Brighton semi-truck accident attorneys understand that while some injuries can be clearly tied to the accident, especially where pre-existing medical conditions are involved, it is critical to also work with your doctors to understand how the truck accident aggravated or exacerbated pre-existing injuries.

When a case is put together the right way, a good lawyer will use liability experts (often ex-truckers), doctors, and character witnesses to show how the truck driver’s negligence caused your injuries and how those injuries have impacted your life. Whether the impact from a truck collision caused you a head injury where you are unable to work, or if someone was killed, character witnesses are important to show the human element of the crash and how a victim’s day-to-day activities are no longer the same. Because putting on a case is often compared to putting on a play or a movie, you must make sure that you have a truck accident lawyer in Brighton who understands how to tell your story by presenting effective and impactful evidence and witnesses.

At Cook, Bradford & Levy, LLC, we have extensive experience putting together cases to show insurance companies and juries why our client’s case is worth what we are asking, and why the insurance company should pay what is fairly owed. When you are looking for a good trucking lawyer, keep in mind that most personal injury lawyers have little to no trial experience, and they may not be the best choice to tell your story to the people who will be deciding how much money to pay on your claim.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
“I was rear ended by a driver on his cell phone. I started with another attorney, but was not receiving adequate attention to my case. I switched to Brian and everything changed. He was attentive to my situation, listened to all I had to say, and worked to resolve my case in a timely fashion. He continued to communicate and touch base even during slow parts of the process. After the settlement was resolved, he has still reached out to check in on my health and well being. I would highly recommend Brian Bradford as a lawyer.” Randy
★★★★★
“A driver trying to get away from the police ran a red light and broadsided my car. My injuries affected me physically, emotionally and organizationally. Hiring Steve Cook allowed me to focus on healing while ALL the legal Issues were effectively handled by his firm. Steve's patience, honest, determination. competence and experienced evaluation of my case resulted in a great settlement without having to go to trial.” Shirley
★★★★★
“I was injured in a car accident and I was having a hard time getting much of a response from the insurance companies. I never thought I would resort to calling an attorney, but I am so happy that I did, and that Jason Levy was that attorney. He was respectful, knowledgeable, and kind. When I was healing from major surgery, he arranged for my deposition to take place all the way out in Harford County, at a library near my home, rather than having me come into the city. He was also very persistent with the other driver's insurance company, finally negotiating an excellent settlement” Kate
