Denver Truck Accident Lawyers
Trucks are still one of the primary ways that goods are transported throughout the U.S., and Colorado has many highways used to travel across the country. Weather conditions and changes in road elevations can present significant challenges to heavy trucks carrying substantial cargo.
When a truck accident occurs, specific factors must be taken into account that are not always relevant in other kinds of motor vehicle accidents. At The Sawaya Law Firm, we understand how to pursue successful truck accident cases on behalf of clients who have been injured or lost a loved one in these types of collisions.
We can help you no matter where you live in Colorado, including the Denver metro area, the foothills and Colorado Springs, or elsewhere in the nation. Call 303-GOOD-LAW or contact us online today to schedule a free consultation.
Holding Negligent Trucking Companies Responsible
Our Denver truck accident attorneys understand how to handle all types of tractor-trailer crashes, including those involving:
- Rollovers
- Jackknife incidents
- Shipments falling off a truck onto other vehicles or the roadway, causing an obstruction and subsequent accident
- Faulty maintenance resulting in brake failure, tire blowouts or other mechanical failures
- Improper mirror adjustments that cause a trucker to merge or switch lanes and collide with another vehicle, or push another motorist into a guardrail or other cars on the road
- Truckers who were driving drunk
- Pileups caused by fatigued truck drivers
In truck accident cases, it is crucial that the following aspects are thoroughly investigated to fully explore compensation opportunities and all parties that should be named as part of a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit:
- Recovering the data from the black box that every truck is required to have
- Carefully analyzing maintenance records to see if the truck was properly kept up to safety standards
- Delving into the employment history of the trucker to ascertain if he or she has a history of substance abuse or any other infractions that can prove negligence
- Assessing if the trucker is an independent contractor, employed by a larger company, or another arrangement exists, so that all available insurance lines from which claims may be based are explored.
One of the core tenants of our practice is establishing trust between our staff and our clients. "Trust means they can count on us as both their advocate and their friend."
We have devoted almost our entire legal practice to serving victims of negligence. We want you to trust that we will strongly advocate on your behalf, not just for compensation, but to make sure that justice is achieved.
