Denver Truck Accident Lawyers

Denver is the economic hub of Colorado and acts as one of the major crossroads for shipments through the Rockies. Tractor trailers are common on narrow city roads and congested interstates. With so much shipping traffic in the area, truck accidents are a common and deadly hazard in the Denver metro area. To illustrate how deadly these crashes can be, CBS News Colorado reported on July 2022 that one person was killed when a semi-truck rolled over on the 6th Ave ramp at I-25 in Denver. This is just one sample of dozens of catastrophic truck crashes that happen every year in Denver.

You can rely on our truck accident lawyers in Denver, CO to prepare your case using meticulous investigation techniques, professional accident reconstruction, and even expert testimony.

We thoroughly examine each case to determine all the liable parties and what caused the accident. Perhaps the truck driver was speeding, distracted, or was operating over their service hours in violation of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. Maybe the shipping company that loaded up the truck before it departed on its journey is also liable.

Truck accidents are complicated, sometimes with multiple at-fault parties. To ensure your highest settlement value, we can pursue compensation from every responsible party or their insurance carrier.

Parties we may pursue include:

• Tractor-trailer operator
• Third-party driver
• Trucking company
• Truck mechanic
• Truck part manufacturer
• The Shipping Company
• Any company who helped or was in control of loading the trailer

Once we determine who is responsible, we can submit a demand letter for costs associated with your injuries. Negotiations with insurance companies can take months. While we actively pursue your settlement, we can also file a personal injury lawsuit within the state’s 3-year statute of limitations, CO Rev Stat § 13-80-101.

We can seek full compensation for all of your losses. Damages may include medical bills, surgery costs, and other medical treatment expenses. If you missed work or are unable to return to your previous job, you can also claim your past and future lost income.

Some damages can be hard to quantify, like pain and suffering, emotional anguish, and diminished quality of life. Our attorneys have experience evaluating such claims and can help you establish a fair financial value for these losses as well.

If you were injured due to another person’s actions, you should not have to cope with these challenges on your own. Led by Brian and Jason, our team of injury lawyers can support you throughout the legal process and fight for the resources you need to recover from your injuries.

While financial compensation can never fill the void left by your loved one, it can defray your financial losses and help you and your family face the future with confidence and hope.

Colorado wrongful death law, CO Rev Stat § 13-21-201, allows surviving family members of a deceased person to seek compensation for funeral costs, burial expenses, hospital bills, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship. It is a complicated statute that gives certain rights to certain parties and is much different than a “regular” car crash. Speaking with an experienced wrongful death attorney like Brian or Jason is advised, especially when a large tractor trailer is involved.
