Individuals and families involved in a crash with a semi-truck or other commercial vehicle usually suffer serious and often permanent injuries. Collisions with big rig trucks may result in spinal cord injuries, broken bones, brain trauma, and even wrongful death. Because personal injuries with these type of vehicles tend to be more serious, the issues of negligence, liability, damages and causation will often be hotly contested. Most of these cases are closely scrutinized and often questioned because insurance coverage is often under a million-dollar liability policy.
Any accident with a commercial vehicle is likely to present complications. If your accident was with an over-the-road big rig, federal safety laws will impact the owner, the driver and anyone involved with the semi truck or its maintenance. Liability may even be found on the company packing the trailer portion if the load shifted and contributed to the accident. It is not unheard of for some truck drivers to maintain two sets of books to avoid stringent federal and state laws on the amount of time a driver may be behind the wheel.
If your accident involved a Regional Transportation District bus (RTD bus) you will have to deal with unfair governmental immunity laws. Virtually all cases have a statute of limitations or time frame by which you must bring a claim. Unlike the normal statute of limitations for regular citizens, victims of RTD bus collisions are faced with an unfair and unreasonably short time frame to provide "notice" to RTD. The Governmental Immunity Notice statute applies to virtually all governmental agencies and its employees including RTD, police departments, jails, hospitals and many others. The governmental immunity notice must generally be provided within 180 days of the collision and must be given to specific individuals or entities to be valid. RTD will eventually try to get out of liability and perhaps succeed if your notice is simply given to an adjuster. This is true even if the adjuster has obtained your records and bills and begun negotiations. Consult an attorney IMMEDIATELY if you think that some sort of governmental agency may have contributed to your injuries.
Lawyer Dallas D. Norton, Esq. knows how to meet the challenges of truck collision, bus accident and commercial vehicle litigation on behalf of plaintiffs in personal injury and wrongful death cases. For a free consultation with an experienced trial lawyer, contact us or submit a question above.
We handle case ranging from busses or taxis to semi-truck liability
We will work hard to overcome the challenges of accident litigation involving semi-trucks, construction vehicles, delivery vans, taxis, public transit buses (RTD), private limos and charter vehicles, or any other vehicle operated professionally or for profit. Many of these type of vehicles claim to "self-insured" under Colorado law.
We help with more than just your injury claim.
When you hire a personal injury attorney the main goal is often to maximize the amount of your ultimate settlement or verdict. Some clients are satisfied to think that the attorney must be doing his or her job because of the nature of a contingency fee or percentage fee agreement. With "no attorney's fee until you win" the more you get, the more the attorney gets. So why shouldn't the attorney be working hard.
Many attorneys will not assist with claims which do not pay. We have received many cases from clients whose previous attorney would not help get their car fixed or try to increase the amount of the "total loss" settlement on the vehicle. Often clients are more concerned about possible damage to their credit due to mounting medical bills and lost income from being off of work due to injuries. Is it surprising to learn that insurance companies will rarely, if ever, give an advance to make life easier for you? The truth is that insurance adjusters know that the more bills you have and the less income then the more likely you are to settle for a low amount.
Personal injury attorney Dallas D. Norton, Esq. will help with any problems you encounter obtaining medical treatment, paying medical bills, obtaining insurance coverage and lost income. Often this means acting quickly after a commercial vehicle or semi-truck accident and any other type of motor vehicle collision. Some potential sources of reimbursement dry up once a drunk driver, hit-and-run driver or other negligent party has his ticket heard. It will be too late to ask for criminal restitution and perhaps even obtain victim's compensation once the negligent driver has "negotiated" a plea bargain.
Our goal is to maximize your recovery to ensure that you have finances and resources to cover your past losses and future expenses. Hopefully this will allow you to become financially free from the burdens of a collision and have peace of mind for years to come. These assurances are particularly important in cases involving wrongful death or with permanent injuries such as quadriplegia, amputation, broken bones, spinal cord injuries or a brain injury.
We promise you will meet with a licensed attorney, not a certified paralegal or other
"salesman" sent to sign you up
