Colorado Truck Accident Attorneys
A truck accident is very often devastating for occupants of the car or cars that are involved in the crash. The size, weight and momentum of an 18-wheeler big rig or an in-town delivery truck overwhelms the typical automobile. Seatbelts often offer little protection when a tractor trailer and a smaller vehicle collide.
Truck accidents occur on interstate highways such as I-25 and I-70, but they also occur on lesser highways, city streets and parking lots. Railroad crossing accidents, crashes with stationary objects such as light poles, dock cargo loading accidents, wide turn intersection crashes and rear-end collisions in heavy traffic are a few ways in which truck accidents occur.
Causes of semi tractor trailer accidents include sudden changes in weather, overcrowded roadways, driver fatigue and negligent driving.
Crush injuries, spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are often associated with truck-versus-car accidents. An injury victim may spend the rest of his or her life in need of personal care and unable to work. The financial costs as well as emotional losses are tremendous. To estimate how much money a catastrophically injured truck accident victim is likely to need over a lifetime, our attorneys collaborate with knowledgeable life care planners.
