What Makes Truck Accidents Unique?
One of the most important reasons we encourage you to seek out a Greeley truck accident attorney is that truck accidents are markedly different from what you could expect from a car accident or motorcycle. Trucking companies have powerful attorneys and unlimited resources. They are also very aggressive at settling claims quickly and often for less than what is owed.
More so, truck accidents are often much more damaging, creating long-term risks to people for years to come. You may suffer serious limitations to mobility, mental health, pain, and quality of life. These things may not go away. You may be owed compensation for those losses.
Holding the Truck Company Accountable
Many times, it is not just the truck driver that has put you in this terrible situation. In addition, it may be the trucking company behind them that is pushing them to work too many hours without a break, or may not have kept up with the maintenance the truck needs. Other times, they did not do their part in ensuring the truck driver had the proper training to minimize risks to drivers on the roadways.
It is imperative that you act against these types of actions and inactions. What happened to you can easily happen to another person if trucking companies do not take aggressive legal measures to ensure their drivers are operating within compliance requirements in the state of Colorado and the entire US.
Holding the truck company accountable is not easy to do, but it is something our truck accident attorneys will guide you through. Let us help you determine who is responsible, why this happened to you, and what could have been done to prevent it.
You have the legal right to compensation for damages a truck driver, their company, the manufacturer, and others caused to you. Let our legal team help you pursue those losses. Protecting the injured is all that we do and we are ready to help you.
Common Questions About Truck Accidents
How much can I expect in compensation after a truck accident in Colorado?
It is not possible to put an exact dollar figure on this as it depends significantly on the type of loss you have. You may be eligible for compensation for any financial losses you’ve incurred because of the incident, including medical bills, long-term rehabilitation, modifications to your home due to injuries, lost time at work, and loss of the ability to work. You may also be entitled to compensation for chronic pain and other long-term complications from your truck accident.
How long do I have to file a truck accident lawsuit in Colorado?
Do not wait. The State of Colorado imposes a three-year maximum timeframe from the date of the accident until the date that a personal injury claim is settled or filed with the court. Our attorneys encourage you to act long before this to minimize the risk of complications and delays.
