Do I Have a Case?

Truck accidents have a number of causes and possible at-fault parties, but compensable truck accident cases involve carelessness or recklessness on the part of a driver, trucking company, or another party.

Common Types of Compensable Truck Accidents

Are You Within the Legal Time Limit?

The statute of limitations is the time limit during which you can file a lawsuit. In Colorado, the statute of limitations on truck accidents is three years from the date of the accident. In other words, if you were injured in a truck accident that wasn’t your fault, you have three years from the date of the collision to file a lawsuit for the compensation you deserve. If you miss this window of time, you may be unable to recover any compensation at all. However, there are exceptions to this law based on your unique circumstances, so it’s important to discuss your case with an experienced Colorado Springs truck accident lawyer to ensure you don’t miss any important deadlines.

Was Someone Else at Fault?

In order to seek the compensation you deserve following a truck accident, you and your Heuser & Heuser attorney must be able to prove someone else’s negligence caused your accident and subsequent injuries. Negligence is a failure to act with a reasonable amount of care. For example, the negligent party responsible for a truck accident could be the driver not following the rules of the road, the trucking company failing to maintain their trucks, or a shipping company failing to secure their cargo properly, leading to an accident and your injuries.

What Compensation Can I Receive with a truck accident Claim?

Truck accidents typically involve more serious injuries and damage than accidents involving passenger cars. If you were injured in a truck accident that wasn’t your fault, you deserve compensation for all your injuries and expenses, such as:

  • Medical expenses: Including surgeries, hospitalization, medication, physical therapy, mobility equipment, and more.
  • Loss of wages: If your injury caused you to miss work or you’re not able to work the same job in the future.
  • Pain and suffering: If you experienced extreme emotional distress or a loss of enjoyment of life.

Colorado is a comparative negligence state, which means that your compensation can be affected by the amount of responsibility you had in the accident. The court first decides how much compensation will be awarded, and then each party is assigned a percentage of fault. Following the assignment of fault, your potential compensation is then reduced by that percentage amount. If you’re found to have more than 50% fault for the accident, you may not be entitled to any compensation. That’s why it’s so important to have an experienced Colorado Springs truck accident lawyer on your side advocating for you and building the strongest case possible for the maximum compensation amount you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Having the right attorney on your side and one that is well-versed in handling truck accident cases can dramatically impact your case’s outcome. At Heuser & Heuser, LLP, we have an experienced team of truck accident attorneys who understand the laws surrounding accidents, so we understand the full scope of your accident and can seek the full compensation you deserve.

Truck accidents are complicated and may involve multiple at-fault parties, so there isn’t an average settlement amount we can give you. The settlement you may receive will depend on a variety of factors such as your injuries, the suspected impact the accident will have on your future, and the extent of the losses you suffered as a result of the accident. Our attorneys at Heuser & Heuser, LLP, will do everything we can to seek the full compensation you’re entitled to for your losses.

A lot can go wrong and lead to a truck accident, so in some cases, an investigation is needed to see what factors contributed to the accident. The insurance companies or your lawyer at Heuser & Heuser, LLP, may request an investigation to look into the driver’s records, the trucking company’s training, the truck logs, and more. When you work with our team, we will guide you through each step of the process of pursuing your claim so you are never in the dark about your case.

Because of the complexity of truck accidents, your case may take some time to settle. Cases also take longer if they involve multiple at-fault parties or a court case. No matter how long your case takes, your attorney at Heuser & Heuser, LLP, will keep you updated the entire time and ensure your case is treated with the highest level of urgency.

Insurance adjusters are out to protect their own company’s interests, not yours. If the insurance company calls, direct them to your own insurance company or your lawyer at Heuser & Heuser, LLP.

The main reasons truck accidents are more complex than the average car accident are:

  • Settlements often come from large insurance policies through trucking companies.
  • Truck accidents may involve multiple responsible parties.

The driver of the truck almost always holds some responsibility. Other parties who might be partially responsible include the trucking company, the maintenance crew, the manufacturers of any bad parts on the truck, and even the loading company if the cargo was improperly loaded. As you can see, your truck accident case involves a lot of moving parts. To ensure you do not lose out on compensation amongst the chaos, your Colorado Springs truck accident lawyers at Heuser & Heuser, LLP are here to handle the complexities for you and protect your rights. We’re on top of it!
