Commercial Truck Accident Injury Lawyers

We are experienced commercial trucking accident injury lawyers.

Commercial motor vehicles (CMV) are notorious for their large size and intimidating presence on roads and highways. A commercial truck with a full load has the potential to weigh upwards of 80,000 pounds. Compare this with the size of the average passenger vehicle, which is about 4,000 pounds. An accident between the two could prove devastating. There are many reasons for truck accidents, many of which involve negligence on behalf of the CMV driver. If you were involved in this type of accident, get in touch with a Denver personal injury lawyer from our firm.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) typically conducts investigations of all accidents involving Department of Transportation (DOT) commercial vehicles. If evidence turns up indicating that the driver or the trucking company was responsible for the accident, then our firm can step in to assist.

If you or a loved one has been injured or involved in an accident with a commercial or delivery truck, you need an experienced personal injury attorney by your side that knows your state laws and regulations regarding commercial truck drivers and trucking regulations. The trucking company involved in the accident will have their own defense, and they will work quickly to get you to sign a settlement before you have time to assess the damage, talk to a personal injury lawyer or even consider how your injuries will affect your future.

Common Causes of Commercial Truck Accidents

It is important to determine who is at fault right away in these types of personal injury truck accidents. Trucking companies are quick to blame other drivers to take the focus off their negligent truck operator. But, more often than not, it is the truck driver's fault. One common reason for truck accidents is truck driver fatigue. Despite hours of service (HOS) regulations in the trucking industry, many truck drivers continue to operate their vehicles without the proper resting breaks. Fatigued driving has similar effects to drunk driving, making this a form of negligence. Commercial trucks are also incredibly susceptible to mechanical failures. If the driver of the truck failed to report a mechanical or "fit-it" issue and continued to drive the vehicle, a resulting accident would be considered the direct result of driver negligence. Texting while driving, poor weather conditions, and reckless driving are among other common causes of truck accidents. Some common causes of these types of truck accidents include:

But, even determining the cause of the truck accident isn’t enough. Trucking accidents are very complex. While the truck driver might have been technically at fault, there are situations where there are other parties also at fault for the truck accident. For example, the trucking company could be found liable for not maintaining their trucks or requiring truckers to adhere to impossible schedules.
