Why You Need a Truck Accident Lawyer

A truck can weigh 80,000 pounds. Moving at a fast rate coming towards you or swerving into your lane can cause significant and catastrophic injuries. Unfortunately, these types of incidents are not uncommon in Colorado. 

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety shares that, in 2020, 4,014 people died in truck-related accidents in the United States. About 97% of those who died in these accidents were passengers of the vehicles. Many thousands more suffered life-changing injuries, often changing their futures and limiting their ability to enjoy life, work the same job, or drive a car.

Hiring an experienced truck accident attorney is one of the most important things you can do if you’ve been injured by a truck. There are several reasons for this:

• Truck drivers usually have insurance companies working to defend them. That often means they are working to resolve your case, paying you less than you are owed.
• Many trucking accidents result in long-term health complications. If you settle your case too soon or do not claim all your losses, you end up missing out on money that’s owed to you.
• Insurance adjusters will work to get you to state that you were partially at fault and may even try to claim your injuries are from pre-existing conditions. Avoid these risks by having an attorney working for you instead. 

The Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya recognizes your risks. At the same time, we are compassionate professionals who strive to work closely with our clients to ensure their needs are met. We want you to get the medical care you need. We’ll fight aggressively to defend you in that effort.

Common Injuries from Truck Accidents

The type of injuries suffered from truck accidents depends on the impact location and type, the type of vehicle, and your position in the car. The rate of speed and the force involved all play a role in what happens to you. Some of the most common injuries from truck accidents that we see include the following:

• Back and neck injuries
• Lacerations 
• Broken bones
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries 
• Burn injuries 

When you work with our Aurora truck accident attorneys, we will help you determine all of your losses related to your injuries, including costs related to emergency medical care, surgeries, specialist care, and long-term rehab. 

What Makes Truck Accidents Unique?

A truck accident is more likely to cause significant and permanent damage to a person simply because of the intensity and force of the accident. These vehicles can weigh as much as 20 to 30 times as much as a single-passenger car. They are taller and have more ground clearance, too, which can mean that vehicles can slide under them, causing more significant loss.

Truck accidents are also unique in that the insurance companies are highly skilled at reducing the compensation paid out for these claims. They know how to work to get you to admit mistakes or lessen the blame.

Holding the Truck Company Accountable

We believe it’s your right to receive compensation that’s fair and covers all your losses, including your physical, emotional, and financial losses. 

Common Questions About Truck Accidents

Why do trucking accidents occur?

Distracted drivers, tired truck drivers, poor handling and skill, bad weather, and faulty equipment or maintenance on trucks are some of the most common reasons truck accidents occur.

What if I am somewhat at fault for the truck accident?

There are many situations where you may be partially at fault for a truck accident, but that does not mean you are not owed compensation for your losses. If you have been injured in an accident, you should consult with an experienced Aurora truck accident attorney immediately.
