Hadfield Stieben & Doutt, LLC, provides representation for truck accident victims in Evans and surrounding areas.
Truck accident claims can be much more complicated than traditional auto accident claims. Because trucks can weigh 80,000 pounds or more and stretch 75 feet or more, the force and impact from a crash can cause catastrophic harm. There may also be multiple potential defendants liable for losses, including trucking companies that fight to pay as little as possible.
Our legal team understands the special complexities and unique laws that apply when a truck crash occurs, and we are prepared and ready to put our knowledge to work fighting for justice for you. Â Give our Evans personal injury lawyers a call today to schedule a consultation with an Evans truck accident lawyer who will help you maximize your chances of getting fair compensation following your crash.
Why You Need an Evans Truck Accident Lawyer
Truck crashes raise complicated issues that don’t come up in traditional car accident claims in Evans, CO. Specifically:
- The large size of commercial trucks means crashes are much more serious. You’ll often be fighting for compensation for injuries that will cause a lifetime of loss. This means more money is at stake, and you need an attorney familiar with catastrophic injury claims.
- There are different rules that apply to truck drivers. Truckers must follow rules established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Our firm knows FMCSA rules inside and out, so we can identify violations of these regulations that make it easier to prove your claim.
- There may be multiple defendants. It may not just be the driver who is to blame. Vicarious liability laws say that companies are responsible for negligent staff members who injure others on-the-job. We help you determine all parties that can be held responsible to maximize the money available to compensate you.
- Trucking companies make recovery difficult. Trucking companies and their insurers often try to make it as hard as possible to collect compensation. They may send their own investigators to try to poke holes in your case, withhold black box data that sheds light on the crash, and make lowball offers to try to convince you to settle for less than your case is worth. Our team knows these tricks and is prepared to advocate for you.
At Hadfield Stieben & Doutt, LLC, we have successfully helped truck crash victims recover millions, and our track record demonstrates we’re prepared to face the complexities of truck accidents head-on.
