Some of the most dangerous accidents on the roads in Colorado are commercial vehicle accidents, involving semi-trucks, dump trucks, cement mixers, and other heavy trucks. Large trucks account for nearly 10% of traffic fatalities nationwide even though they are involved in only about 5% of traffic accidents. Given the size and weight of large trucks compared to most of the other vehicles on the road, it is no surprise that these accidents are more likely to be deadly. The men and women driving commercial vehicles are professionals, and generally live up to the expectations the rest of us have, but when a professional driver drives unsafely or creates a road hazard, the consequences to others can be dire.
If you or a loved one have been injured in a trucking accident, you need an experienced commercial vehicle accident attorney on your side, because the trucking company will certainly have one on theirs. Recovering compensation in a trucking accident is very different from a regular car accident. Because there will be attorneys working for the trucking company’s insurance company who work exclusively in this area, the burden of proof that the driver was negligent becomes more difficult. You need an attorney who has the experience that matters in putting together a solid case, to get you a settlement or to recover compensation for you in a trial.
In addition to fighting for financial compensation, an experienced Denver trucking accident lawyer can negotiate with your health insurance company to ensure that you get the best possible medical care, help file claims to compensate for loss of income or disability, and other concerns that may arise after your accident. In the aftermath of a Denver commercial vehicle accident, an attorney can be your advocate in many different ways.
