Steps Every Truck Accident Victim Must Take After Their Accident
Few events are as disorienting as a car accident involving a large truck. Most accident victims are unsure what to do after a serious collision, but you can follow this advice:
1. Get Medical Care Immediately
Truck accidents are highly likely to cause serious injuries. Seek medical attention at an emergency room, walk-in clinic, or other medical facility as soon as possible. This will ensure you’re not in immediate danger, connect your accident to your injuries, and provide a recovery plan to follow.
2. Hire Your Truck Accident Lawyer as Soon as Possible
You may need to overcome insurance companies’ bad-faith tactics to secure fair compensation after your truck accident. You may even need to sue a trucking company or another liable party.
You should let a Colorado truck accident lawyer lead your case because:
- Filing a personal injury claim in Colorado without a lawyer’s help can lead to mistakes, missed deadlines, and failure to secure the financial compensation you deserve.
- A truck accident lawsuit requires significant time and effort, and you may not have such time or energy as you recover from injuries and trauma.
- Your motor vehicle accident lawyer will protect your rights and handle every aspect of your case, providing your relief when you truly need it.
- Our personal injury law firm requires no upfront or out-of-pocket compensation, meaning there is no financial risk in hiring a Colorado truck accident attorney.
CO. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-101 generally requires our Colorado personal injury lawyers to file traffic accident lawsuits within a specific period after the collision. This is one of several reasons to find and hire your lawyer urgently.
How Your Colorado Truck Accident Lawyer Will Fight for Your Financial Recovery
Your automobile accident lawyer will not delay in building your case. They may begin by filing an insurance claim, though filing a personal injury lawsuit is also an option for truck accident victims.
Your commercial vehicle accident lawyer and their team will oversee every aspect of your case, including:
- Gathering all relevant evidence (including from trucking companies): Our team can obtain all evidence useful to your case, such as eyewitness testimony, the police report, an expert’s reconstruction of the accident, and video footage of the collision.
- Establishing liability for your accident-related damages: Your Colorado truck accident lawyer will weigh all relevant facts and information to determine who is liable for your damages. Truck drivers, trucking companies, vehicle manufacturers, and municipalities are among those who can be liable for a truck accident.
- Obtaining documentation of your damages: Proof of your damages can help your attorney secure fair compensation. Such proof may include medical records (including images of physical injuries), medical bills, evidence of lost income (including income and employment statements), and experts’ testimony about your physical, psychological, and emotional trauma.
- Negotiating for a fair settlement: Your attorney can negotiate with the responsible party’s insurance provider for a settlement once they know how much money you are entitled to. We will provide the insurance company with evidence of negligence, documentation of your recoverable damages, and all other relevant information and materials. We will explain why you deserve the sum of money we are demanding.
- Helping you decide whether to sue: You may receive a fair settlement from those responsible for your truck accident. However, in some cases, the at-fault driver’s insurance company refuses to meet a lawyer’s settlement demands. If your attorney faces resistance from liable parties during settlement negotiations, you may choose to file a personal injury lawsuit.
- Handling any necessary lawsuit and court case: Should you move forward with a truck accident lawsuit, a trial may be necessary. Your attorney will advise you about whether a trial is the best option and make your case in court if it is.
You should not take any insurance claim or lawsuit lightly. Your immediate and long-term financial security—and your mental and physical health—may rest on your case’s outcome. This is a complicated and high-stakes process, so let an experienced Colorado personal injury lawyer lead your case.
You don’t Have to Pay Any Direct Costs for a Colorado Truck Accident Attorney
A lawyer is a valuable resource for truck accident victims. Even better, you don’t have to pay any money out of your pocket to retain your trucking accident attorney.
Our Colorado truck accident lawyers work for contingency fees, meaning
- You don’t pay any upfront fee
- Our law firm covers all case-related costs
- Your truck accident injury attorney only receives their fee if they recover compensation for you
Let our firm handle the costs and financial risks associated with your case.
A Lawyer Will Demand Fair Compensation for the High Cost of Your Truck Accident
Truck accidents can be the most violent types of accidents, as large trucks are the heaviest vehicles on the road. This means truck accident victims often suffer:
- Exorbitant medical bills
- Long-term professional damages, including lost income and lost earning capacity
- Severe pain and suffering
- Significant mental health service costs
- Vehicle repair costs (or the cost of replacing a totaled vehicle)
If your catastrophic injuries lead to disability, expect even more financial expenses and more severe pain and suffering.
