Loveland Truck Accident Lawyer
Let Us Fight for Your Rights
Accidents involving big rig trucks and other large commercial trucks are often catastrophic. Due to the sheer size and weight of these vehicles, they are much more difficult to stop and turn and have many more blind spots than the average passenger vehicle. For this reason, victims of such collisions often suffer severely debilitating injuries or, in the worst cases, fatal injuries.
If you or someone you love has suffered injuries in a collision involving a truck, our legal team urges you to get in touch with our Loveland truck accident attorneys immediately. We can examine the details of your accident and determine whether the truck driver or another party should be held liable.
Why is it Important to Work with a Lawyer?
Most truck companies work with some of the largest insurance companies and, therefore, carry large policies. As a result, insurers are quick to defend any injury claims made against truck drivers or their companies. Because these truck companies often have an array of resources to protect their interests, victims of these accidents generally face petty amounts of compensation. For this reason, victims of big rig accidents should contact experienced legal representation of their own right away.

Frequent Questions About Truck Accidents
Who can be held liable in a truck accident?
The truck driver is the party who is most likely answerable for your injuries after a truck accident. Does that mean you will only be able to file a claim against them? Not necessarily, thanks to the legal rule of respondeat superior. This rule makes employers liable for the harm caused by their employees and contracted workers in many situations, including most truck accidents.
Using respondeat superior, we might be able to file a claim against the trucking company that hired or contracted the truck driver who hit you. Trucking companies will have a larger insurance policy than truckers, so you will be more likely to receive an adequate amount of compensation in this way. The one thing to remember is that no matter how many defendants are responsible for your accident, like cargo crews and truck mechanics, too, our attorneys will be more than capable of managing your claim thoroughly.
How can I prove negligence in a truck accident?
Gather evidence such as accident reports, witness testimonies, driver logs, electronic data from the truck's onboard systems, and maintenance records. You could also hire accident reconstruction experts. This evidence is used to help establish that the defendant's actions or omissions fell below the expected standard of care.
What types of compensation can I seek in a truck accident claim?
In a truck accident claim, you may seek various types of compensation, including medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, physical impairment, disability or disfigurement, and sometimes punitive damages. The specific types of compensation depend on the extent of your injuries and the circumstances of the accident.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a truck accident?
The truck accident statute of limitations can sneak up on you. Colorado only gives you three years before your claim will be lost.
What if the truck driver or trucking company is denying liability?
Gather as much evidence as possible to support your claim. Working with a skilled truck accident lawyer, like the ones on the Jorgensen, Brownell & Pepin, P.C., will guide you through the legal process, build a strong case, and get you the money damages you deserve.
