Truck Accident Lawyer in Greeley, Colorado

CALL (800) 863-5312 for a free consultation with a Greely truck accident attorney

In the United States, over 15 million trucks are on the road at any time on any given day. Every 15 minutes, someone is seriously injured or killed because of a truck accident.

In Greeley, truck accidents make up a small percentage of the total accidents on the road, but cause the most damage; trucks are bigger and heavier than most cars, weighing up to 100,000 pounds, so the damage done to your vehicle can be especially devastating. Truck accidents can happen at any time without warning, leaving victims injured, in shock, and wondering what to do next.

If you have been involved in a truck accident in Greeley, you may be considering filing a personal injury lawsuit against those responsible. To help guide you through the legal process and seek compensation, call Zinda Law Group at (800) 863-5312 for a 100% free consultation with our Greeley truck accident lawyers.

seek medical attention

The size of trucks makes truck accidents more likely to result in serious or even fatal injuries. Sometimes, the injuries you suffer because of a truck accident can alter your daily life and last a lifetime. Common injuries from trucking accidents include:

Whiplash
Head and brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Amputation or disfigurement
Internal injuries
Cuts
Bruises
Broken bones

Truck accidents have a high risk of exploding fuel tanks; upon impact, a truck may burst into flames, and the fire can spread quickly and engulf surrounding vehicles. This means burns are a common injury suffered by victims of trucking accidents. If you suffer from serious burns, you may need to see a plastic surgeon to help heal scarring or physical disabilities.

Some injuries may present themselves immediately, but other symptoms may not arise until hours or even days after the accident. After a trucking accident, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible to ensure you are not suffering from serious injuries. In some cases, an ambulance may arrive at the scene and take you to the hospital so you can be examined for injuries; if an ambulance does not arrive at the scene, you should see your medical provider as soon as possible to determine whether your injuries are severe.

When you see your doctor, they may perform a physical examination to determine where you may be injured. The doctor may also order you undergo x-rays or scans to look for broken bones or internal bleeding.

Depending on your injuries, your doctor may prescribe medication or refer you to another doctor. They may also recommend physical therapy to improve muscle and limb functions. It is important that you follow your doctor’s treatment program so you can make a full recovery.

Report the accident

If you have been involved in a truck accident in Greeley, Colorado law requires you report the accident to the police if:

Someone is injured
Someone dies
Public property has been damaged
A driver leaves the scene
A driver appears to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol

In these situations, you must report the accident immediately. If you are unsure of whether you are required to report an accident to the police, it is best to do so.

Colorado police are not always required to come to the scene of the accident; however, because of the potential damage truck accidents can cause to people and property, the police will likely come to the scene. When the police arrive, they will ask you, other drivers, and passengers involved in the accident questions about what happened. They will also ask for your contact and insurance information; this information will be included in the police officer’s accident report.

Accident reports are public records, and you can request a copy of the report online by visiting the Colorado DMV’s website. Requesting a copy of the report requires you to pay a $10 fee and fill out a Requestor Release and Affidavit of Intended Use form; this form requires you to fill out information about the accident and your intended use for the report. The form specifies certain categories of permitted use, such as:

Use by a government agency
Use by a business to verify the accident
Use in connection with any court proceeding
Use by private investigators
Use by insurance companies
Research activities

After filling out and submitting the form, it can take up to 90 days to receive your copy of the report.

You should also report the accident to your insurance company within 24 hours; your insurance company can pay for any damage done to your vehicle, so you do not have to pay out of pocket. When reporting the accident to your insurance company, be sure to only tell them the facts; do not discuss fault. Your insurance company can use anything you say against you to minimize the amount of damage they pay for, meaning you will have to pay for that damage yourself; once hired, a truck accident attorney in CO can speak to the insurance company and their adjuster on your behalf so you won’t damage your case in this way.

Document the accident

Although the police will be on the scene asking questions and creating an accident report, you should also document information about the accident yourself by taking photos or writing information down in your cell phone or on paper. Information to document includes:

Injuries that you, other passengers, or drivers suffered
Damage to the interior and exterior of your vehicle
Damage to the interior and exterior of other vehicles
Time and location of the accident
Contact information of other drivers and passengers involved
Contact information of any witnesses
License plate numbers
Make, model, or other defining characteristics of the truck

You may also want to document your version of how the accident happened. This can be helpful if you choose to file a personal injury lawsuit against those responsible, for your Greeley personal injury lawyer will find this information very useful when beginning the investigation. This can also be helpful when you report the accident to your insurance company.

Common causes of truck accidents

Greeley personal injury lawyers at Zinda Law Group understand that trucking accidents can happen at any time without warning, and can have devastating effects. After a truck accident, you may be left wondering whose fault it was. One common cause of truck accidents is driver fatigue.

There are many rules about how long truck drivers may drive without breaks, and all companies are required to follow these rules. However, companies often break these rules and require truck drivers to drive long distances with few breaks and little rest. This can lead to truck drivers falling asleep at the wheel and causing accidents.

There are also regulations and requirements for how much training a truck driver needs to undergo before they can drive on the roads. Some companies break these rules, hiring people who have not had the proper training.

Another common cause of truck accidents is speeding. Because companies require their drivers to deliver goods in such a short amount of time, drivers will speed to ensure they get the job done on time.

Other common causes of truck accidents include distracted driving, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or overloading a truck. If a truck is overloaded, this increases the risk the truck will tip over when making a turn, causing an accident. Your truck accident lawyer in CO can investigate the incident comprehensively, determining exactly what led to the accident which caused your damages and injuries.

WhoM can you hold responsible?

After a truck accident, you may be considering filing a lawsuit against those responsible for your injuries. In a trucking accident case, you may be able to hold the driver, the company they work for, and other parties responsible for your injuries.

You may be able to hold a truck driver liable for your injuries if they were working outside the scope of their employment. An example of this would be if they stopped at a bar during a delivery and then caused an accident. You may also be able to hold both the driver and the company they work for liable if you can prove the driver’s negligence.

You should contact an injury attorney near you to help you determine whether a driver or the company they worked for acted negligently. A lawyer can help you gather the evidence you need to build a strong case and hold the proper people responsible for your injuries.

I just wanted to say thank you so much to Ben Abbas and Neil Solomon. Since my fiance was hit by an 18-wheeler nearly lost his life and now struggles with persistent pain and has to use a cane on top of a litany of other health issues as a result of the accident, Ben and Neil fought hard on my fiance's case because it was a very complex case involving multiple parties. But not only did they fight hard for us on my fiance's case, when the man of the house and the breadwinner is unable to even walk without a walker for a little over a year and has had to spend two years fighting for disability, and as I've been supporting my fiance because that's what you do when you're loyal to who you love but it's difficult when you lose the breadwinner and they're not able to work, Ben and Neil helped us navigate the legal loan process and they have been instrumental in keeping us afloat. They always respond quickly often within a few minutes and get the paperwork processed almost every single time in the same day. We would have lost everything if it wasn't for them. We are so grateful for them and everything they have done for us. There are something like real life superheroes and if you're looking for a law firm from any kind of injury or accident, we strongly recommend them and Zinda Law Group. Because I can almost guarantee nobody will work harder for you than they will
