Compensation is Available to Cover Your Medical Bills (and More)

When accidents occur involving commercial trucks or other commercial vehicles, the resulting damage and injuries can change your family’s life forever. As your Colorado Springs truck accident attorneys, we diligently work to help you pursue the compensation you deserve. Depending on the specifics of your truck accident injury case, you may be eligible for several types of compensation, including:

Medical Bills

Truck accidents often result in severe injuries, and the size and weight of semi trucks can make these injuries even more extensive. Compensation for medical expenses may cover everything from emergency room visits and surgeries to long-term rehabilitation and therapy.

Lost Wages and Future Earnings

If your injuries prevent you from working, you may be entitled to compensation for lost income during your recovery period. In cases of long-term disability, compensation can also address lost future earning capacity.

Pain and Suffering

Injuries from a truck accident can lead to significant physical pain and emotional distress. Compensation may be available for the suffering and reduced quality of life resulting from the accident.

Property Damage

The size and weight of commercial trucks can cause serious property damage to other vehicles involved in a collision. Compensation may include repairs or the replacement value of your car and damage to any personal property inside.

Loss of Consortium

In severe cases, injuries may impact your relationships and family life. Compensation may be available for the loss of companionship and support that results from such injuries.

Punitive Damages

When distracted driving, intoxication, or reckless behavior by the truck driver or insurance company negligence is involved, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the responsible party and prevent future misconduct.

How Thousands of Trucking Crashes Affect Colorado Motorists Every Year

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has some crash statistics you’ll want to know about, including the over 1,100 non-fatal and fatal truck accidents in Colorado in 2024. There’s no one cause for these types of crashes that someone can easily pinpoint or blame, but a combination of factors, many of which could have been prevented. Our personal injury attorneys have experience with cases related to:

It’s well known that a majority of semi-truck drivers are often on the road for long hours, which can lead to exhaustion and impaired reaction times. When a tired driver is on the highways or rural roads, they put everyone everywhere at a more significant risk for accidents that can be life-threatening.

Using cell phones, adjusting navigation systems, eating, messing with the radio, or other distractions can divert a truck driver’s attention away from the road, increasing the likelihood of something going wrong. If they are operating an 18-wheeler or semi-truck and their reaction time isn’t as sharp as it should be, the results are vehicle pile-ups or crashes that leave unsuspecting drivers injured.

Pressured by tight schedules, truck drivers sometimes speed or drive aggressively, making it difficult to control their large vehicles and putting others in danger. Speeding in a large truck or commercial vehicle is more dangerous than if you’re in a car because of the weight and capacity of the potential impact.

Trucks require regular inspections and maintenance. When companies cut corners on maintenance, it can lead to brake failures, tire blowouts, and other mechanical issues that cause accidents. Beyond driver error, a faulty truck, tractor, or trailer is one of the most dangerous risks running on Colorado roadways today.

Overloaded or improperly loaded trucks or tractor-trailers are more difficult to control, especially on turns or during sudden stops. Shifting cargo can also cause trucks to tip or lose control. This means any individuals or vehicles in the aftermath will be put in danger of sustaining severe injuries or even fatalities because of bad loading practices.

Substance abuse — whether alcohol, prescription medications, or illicit drugs — impairs a driver’s ability to make sound judgments and increases the risk of accidents. Partner that with a truck driver who’s been working long hours without a break, and the consequences for pedestrians or other vehicles can be life-threatening.
We are all familiar with the weather conditions in Colorado Springs, which can change on a dime and be downright dangerous at times. Rain, snow, ice, and fog create hazardous driving conditions, and trucks require more time and distance to stop or maneuver safely when roads are slick or slippery.

What People Ask Our Attorneys About Trucking Crash Claims

Here are some of the most common questions we hear from our clients following involvement in a truck accident.
The time frame, or ‘statute of limitations,’ to file a truck accident claim varies by state. In most states, you have two to three years from the date of the accident to file a claim, but it’s crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure all deadlines are met and evidence is preserved.

After ensuring safety and calling for medical help, report the accident to law enforcement, collect contact information from any witnesses, document the scene with photos if possible, and notify your insurance company. Consulting with a truck accident attorney early on can help protect your rights and build your case.

Several parties might share liability in a truck accident case, including the truck driver, trucking company, maintenance crew, or even the manufacturer of a faulty part. An attorney can help determine who is responsible based on the details of the accident.
Compensation varies depending on factors like medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the impact on your quality of life. Your attorney can help estimate a potential compensation amount based on your specific situation.
Settlement times vary based on the case’s complexity, the willingness of parties to negotiate, and the extent of injuries. Some cases settle in a few months, while others may take over a year. An attorney can provide a clearer timeline after reviewing your case.
While you aren’t required to have a lawyer, truck accident cases often involve complex laws and multiple liable parties. An experienced attorney can navigate these complexities, negotiate with insurance companies, and maximize your compensation.
