Larimer County Truck Accident Attorneys

Lawyers for Victims of Big Rig Crashes Serving Fort Collins, Colorado

Whenever a crash occurs involving a large commercial truck, the trucking company will likely look for ways to limit or escape financial liability—even if the truck driver caused the accident. The company, its insurance carrier, and its lawyers may try to portray the situation so that it seems like someone else is to blame. Too often, this approach works, because injured victims are intimidated at the prospect of fighting back.

At Hoggatt Law Office, P.C., we are not afraid of trucking companies, their insurers, or their attorneys. If you have been injured in a truck accident, we are prepared to help you get the compensation you need to put your life back together.

Aggressive Counsel for Tractor-Trailer Accidents in Greeley and Longmont

Every day, thousands of large trucks traverse the large network of local roads, state highways, and interstates in northern Colorado. With such a high volume of truck traffic, accidents are bound to happen. When they do, it is usually those in other cars, pickups, and SUVs who suffer the worst injuries. A standard tractor-trailer combination can measure up to 70 feet long and may weigh up to 80 tons or more, which means that crashes can be absolutely devastating, especially at highway speeds. Truck accidents can occur for a wide variety of reasons, including:

• Truck driver fatigue and unsafe driving
• Unsecured, shifting, or falling cargo
• Improperly maintained truck equipment
• Truck tire blowouts
• Runaway trucks

Our experienced personal injury attorneys understand that truck accidents differ from "regular" car accidents in a number of ways. First, the injuries sustained in truck crashes are often much more serious because of the massive size and momentum of 18-wheelers. There are also many complex laws, regulations, and guidelines that apply to the trucking industry, all of which can make it virtually impossible for the average person to handle an accident on their own. Finally, many of the trucks on Colorado roadways are owned, operated, or contracted by multibillion-dollar transport companies that employ teams of lawyers on a full-time basis to assist them in limiting their liability.
