Potentially Liable Parties

Due to the dangers of large trucks, the commercial truck industry is highly regulated and has stringent guidelines for both trucking companies and drivers. However, as it is a profit-driven industry with rigorous deadlines, safety may not be the top priority, and any negligence may cause a serious truck crash. The Colorado Springs truck accident lawyers of The Bussey Law Firm, P.C. recognize the devastation a truck crash can cause and aim to protect the rights of those harmed as a result of another's negligence.

An important part of any injury claim process is determining who is liable for the crash. When a large truck is involved, there are many potentially liable parties, including:

Truck driver: Many truck accidents result from driver error. Truck drivers who cause a crash while distracted, fatigued, intoxicated or speeding can be held accountable.
Trucking company: Employers are often responsible for the actions of their employees in cases involving negligence or wrongdoing.
Truck maintenance company: Some Colorado truck accidents result from faulty vehicle maintenance.
Manufacturer: Some accidents result from defective parts such as faulty tires and defective brakes.
Other drivers: In multiple vehicle collisions, another driver may have been responsible for causing the collision with the truck.

Rebuilding Your Life After a Collision

The damage a truck accident can be significant, and recovering from any serious injuries to dealing with the financial losses associated with an accident can all prove to be considerable obstacles a person may face on the road to recovery. As a big rig crash frequently results in critical and life-threatening injuries, the occupants of smaller vehicles may face a lengthy recovery, costly medical bills and treatment, and difficulty meeting financial obligations due to time missed from work and lost wages.

Moving forward past the distressing event of a runaway trailer crash or other type of truck accident can be complicated with the financial stresses as well as physical and emotional recovery. Pursuing legal action and obtaining compensation from any at-fault parties can help alleviate the financial stresses you may experience, which will allow you to focus on healing.

The most important step after a truck accident is obtaining medical care. Your recovery depends on you getting the treatment you need, but this treatment may not be a quick process. You may need multiple surgeries, rehabilitative care and other medical support to recover. Even at the end of your treatment, you may be left with permanent disability. Having the financial stability to support yourself and your family during recovery is essential, but without being able to work, you may not be able to get the money you need. That is where a personal injury claim comes in.

If you have been injured in a Colorado trucking accident that was caused by the negligence of the truck driver, trucking company or other party, you may be able to get the money you need through legal action.
