Causes of Truck Accidents in Colorado

Truck accidents can occur for various reasons, including:

• Driver Fatigue: Long hours without adequate breaks.
• Speeding or Reckless Driving
• Lack of Proper Training or Experience
• Inclement Weather Conditions
• Vehicle Malfunctions or Improper Loading of Cargo
• Driving Under the Influence or Distracted Driving

Regardless of the cause, victims deserve legal representation to navigate the aftermath and seek fair compensation.

Serious Injuries from Truck Accidents

The size disparity between commercial trucks and passenger vehicles often results in severe injuries for motorists. Truck accident victims can suffer:

• Broken bones and soft tissue injuries
• Lacerations
• Internal injuries and organ damage
• Spinal cord injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Neck and back injuries
• Death

Seek immediate medical attention if you’ve been involved in a truck accident to ensure you receive the care you need.

Why Truck Accidents Are Different

Commercial trucking accidents differ from other motor vehicle crashes in several ways:

• Multiple Negligent Parties: Including the truck driver, their employer, the manufacturer, and loading/repair crews.
• Regulatory Compliance: Violations of federal regulations can strengthen your case.
• Evidence: There are more sources of evidence, which must be gathered quickly.
• Corporate Defendants: Trucking companies often have significant resources and insurance policies.
• High Stakes: Truck accident injuries are often severe, leading to larger settlements and damage amounts.

How Trucking Companies Cut Corners

The trucking industry boom has led to some companies cutting corners to maximize profits. This can include hiring inexperienced drivers, skimping on maintenance, and violating hours-of-service regulations. These shortcuts put other drivers at risk.
