Those injured in an accident involving a tractor trailer can seek restitution if they can show that their injuries were caused as a direct result of the reckless or negligent actions of someone else. This can mean a number of things, including:
There are several key differences between an Englewood truck accident lawsuit and one involving only a passenger car. The biggest difference is that semi drivers have to follow additional guidelines set forth by the US government. Failure to do so could mean that it’s even easier to show that you deserve restitution. However, the only way to be sure is to talk to an expert and get a consultation.
An Englewood truck accident can be incredibly dangerous, and often leads to severe injuries including paralysis, broken bones, and more. If you’re injured, you can seek compensation based on numerous types of damages. Some of the factors that will impact your settlement may include the following.
Our lawyers work with experts in economics and the medical field to review your case and determine what a fair settlement amount really is. This way, you aren’t left shouldering any of the financial burden of an accident and can instead focus on healing physically after your accident. And since we don’t collect any fees until your case is won, you don’t have to worry about raising legal fees upfront.
In an Englewood truck accident, it’s possible that you’ll be able to not only seek restitution from the truck driver but the trucking company that they work for. This isn’t always true, but if you can show that the trucking company was negligent or reckless you might be able to seek additional compensation. Some examples of how a truck company may be held liable include the following:
These are just a few examples, but the bottom line is that if you can show that the trucking company acted negligently, you could receive a settlement from them as well. However, because they have deep pockets and a reputation, they will often try to bully around victims of accidents. Because of this, you need a professional on your side.

In truck accident cases, multiple parties could be held liable, including the truck driver, the trucking company, or the manufacturer of a faulty truck part. Proving liability involves a detailed investigation. We gather all available evidence, including accident reports, witness statements, trucking logs, maintenance records, and, if available, footage from traffic cameras. We also work with accident reconstruction experts when needed to establish the cause of the accident.
In a truck accident case, several types of damages could be recovered. These can include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and reduced earning capacity. Non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life, can also be sought. In some cases, if the truck driver or company’s conduct was particularly egregious, punitive damages might be awarded.
A severe truck accident injury can significantly disrupt a person’s work life. Depending on the severity of the injury, they may be unable to return to work for an extended period, leading to lost wages. In some cases, the injuries may permanently prevent them from returning to their previous line of work. In such instances, they may be entitled to compensation for lost earning capacity.
Yes, truck accident victims can seek compensation for emotional distress, which falls under non-economic damages. These are subjective losses that don’t have a specific cost but significantly affect a victim’s life, such as anxiety, depression, fear, and other emotional trauma resulting from the accident. An experienced attorney can help articulate these damages during negotiations or in court.
We are well-versed in the federal and state regulations governing the trucking industry, including hours of service rules, maintenance and inspection requirements, and loading standards. We know how to identify when these rules have been violated and use this information to establish liability in a truck accident case.
Absolutely. We know that dealing with insurance companies after an accident can be overwhelming. Our experienced attorneys will handle all negotiations with the insurance company, ensuring your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.
A severe truck accident can certainly have an impact on your personal relationships. The physical and emotional stress of dealing with injuries can strain relationships with your spouse, children, and friends. This is another reason why obtaining fair compensation is crucial – to ensure that you can afford the help you need to recover and maintain your relationships.
If your injuries prevent you from enjoying hobbies or activities that you used to before the accident, you may be entitled to compensation for loss of enjoyment of life. This is a non-economic damage that our attorneys can help you claim in your lawsuit.
