Highly Respected Law Firm Helps Coloradans Injured in Trucking Accidents

Dogged Centennial lawyers pursue claims against negligent drivers and their employers

Because of their size and weight, trucks pose a particularly serious danger on the road, which can be exacerbated by careless drivers, road conditions and other factors. At Irwin Fraley, PLLC, in Centennial, Colorado, our team of attorneys has more than 60 combined years of experience representing trucking accident victims.

Seeking compensation for injuries caused by careless truck drivers

In a motor vehicle accident case, liability depends on the causation of the accident. There are several ways in which truck drivers can make an accident more likely to occur, such as:

• Driver fatigue — Federal regulations require truck drivers to take periodic breaks, but many drivers violate that requirement by falsifying their driving logs and operating their trucks when they are too tired to do so safely. Our experience can often help us to discover these tactics.
• Unlicensed and untrained drivers — Commercial drivers are required to have special licenses and training. Truck drivers who fail to meet these requirements are more likely to cause accidents through their carelessness.
• Impaired driving — Truck drivers, like other motorists, are prohibited from driving when they are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and they are more likely to cause accidents if they do.

If you were injured in a trucking accident, it is important to retain a law firm that understands the increased risks posed by careless truck drivers. When you work with us, we can use that knowledge to maximize your chances of recovery.

Pursuing damages for accidents resulting from truck defects

The actual driving isn’t always to blame for an accident involving a truck — sometimes the problem lies with the vehicle itself. Such may be the case with:

• Overloaded trucks — A truck carrying cargo that is too heavy or too large is unsafe.
• Oversized trucks — Improper width, length or height can pose a serious danger to other drivers, especially when the truck turns or drives under a low bridge.
• Faulty parts — A driver can lose control if one of the truck’s tires blows out on the road, and this is just one item on these massive vehicles that can go wrong.

We have experience identifying these problems and how they cause accidents.
