Colorado Truck Accidents Lawyer
18-wheelers, commercial trucks, moving trucks, box trucks—any of these vehicles can cause significant damage to smaller vehicles on Colorado roads. And, with our high-grade highways and busy I-70, there’s no lack of opportunity for these heavy trucks to lose their brakes or pop tires. If you were struck by a truck and suffered an injury, call a Colorado truck accident lawyer now for help with seeking financial compensation.
There are many variables when it comes to determining liability in a truck accident. The trucker may work for an independently owned company, or they may be an employee of a larger company. A moving truck may be manned by a complete amateur, unaware of how to navigate a larger vehicle. Or, the trucking company or mechanic may not have maintained the rig properly. Even the government could be liable, if road conditions, signage, and runaway ramps are not kept in good repair.
Your Colorado injury attorney from Lerner and Rowe will sort all of this out and pursue your rightful financial compensation.
