Why You Need a Truck Accident Attorney
Personal injury laws in Colorado seem to make it clear that the person responsible for the losses suffered by victims should be held responsible for the financial losses they cause. Yet even though this is the law, many of our clients report not being offered even a fraction of the medical debt they have and struggling with long-term repercussions without a path forward. Let us help you avoid that.
Hiring a Colorado Springs truck accident attorney ensures that:
- You learn what financial damages are available in your case.
- You have a powerful negotiator available to support you through this legal process.
- You never have to deal with pushy, rude, or even aggressive insurance adjusters.
- You ensure your rights remain protected.
- Someone who cares is fighting to represent you.
You need a truck accident attorney because the insurance company for the trucking company has one, and they have a history of being very aggressive at reducing what they pay out. Let us preserve your rights and ensure you receive fair compensation.
Common Injuries from Truck Accidents
In our over 25 years of experience, we have seen many people suffer incredible loss from truck accidents. Those injuries can range from:
- Fractured bones
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Neck and shoulder injuries
- Burns
- Spinal cord injuries
- Disfigurement

Trucks weigh 20 to 30 times as much as a car. Let our Colorado Springs truck accident attorneys help you avoid settling for less compensation than you are owed.
What Makes Truck Accidents Unique?
Did you know that truck drivers can drive for as many as 11 hours at a time without having to take a long break? They are distracted, tired, and overworked. Trucking companies may turn a blind eye to ensuring that the drivers are getting breaks or enough rest between shifts. More so, it is very common for truck drivers to be traveling at high speeds, which means that when they strike another vehicle, the damage is often significant.
Truck accidents are unique for several reasons:
- The damage is typically bad and permanent.
- They have high-powered insurance companies and attorneys working to reduce their claims.
- It’s not always just the truck driver that’s responsible. It could be the truck company that failed to support the driver or the manufacturer of inferior wheels that caused the accident.
Our Colorado Springs truck accident attorney has seen insurance companies that treat victims as if they are at fault. Let us advocate for you throughout this legal process. The attorneys at the Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya are readily available to talk to you. We are compassionate professionals that care about our client’s recovery, and we are aggressive in seeing full compensation for their losses.
Holding the Truck Company Accountable
In many cases, it is the truck company, not just the driver, that puts people at risk. In 2020, the IIHS reported that over 4,010 people died as a result of truck accidents – nearly 97% of them were the people in the car, not the truck. We feel that trucking companies need to do more to minimize these risks – risks that shatter lives and destroy futures.

I haven’t filed my truck accident case yet. Do I have time?
