Have You Been Injured by a Commercial Truck?
Large truck accidents cause severe injuries. When smaller vehicles get hit by trucks, catastrophe ensues — and, often, wrongful deaths.
In Colorado alone, large trucks were associated with 81 fatalities in 2020.
Whether you’re dealing with a traumatic brain injury, a spinal cord injury, broken bones, or extensive internal damage, you’re probably wondering how you’ll pay for everything. Jordan Law has helped personal injury victims achieve payouts of over $38 million for brain injuries – and over $18 million for truck accidents.
Your road to maximum compensation begins with healing – and a free consultation with Denver commercial truck accident attorneys ready to go to trial for you.
“We know you’re scared because you don’t know how this is going to play out. You didn’t plan on getting injured. But for you to be adequately compensated for everything that you have gone through, you’ve absolutely got to go through that period of treatment and resolution of your symptoms.” JASON JORDAN

How do Truck Accident Lawsuits Work?
Your truck crash lawsuit can contain the following steps:
- An investigation to find out what happened (and who’s responsible)
- Official filed statements (or complaints, petitions, or letters) from all involved parties
- Negotiations between victims and insurance companies to reach a settlement offer
- A trial, if the case cannot settle out of court
- Appeals, if any involved party is not content with the court’s verdict
Your claim’s timeline will be unique to you, and will depend on the specifics of your case.
What won’t be unique is your experience dealing with Denver insurance companies.
Dealing with insurance companies is rarely good, but, after a truck accident, the experience will be particularly overwhelming.
First of all, the number of insurance companies involved will be higher than in most passenger vehicle accidents. You’ll be fielding calls from many different agents, including those representing the truck driver, trucking company, shipping company, and other damaged vehicles.
Secondly, insurance representatives know that trucking accidents can be enormously expensive. That increases their incentive to settle, and settle fast (which may not be in your best interest).
There will be many people talking, many interests at play, and extremely tense negotiations. People will approach you with tricky questions and scary requests (or false claims of impartiality or trustworthiness).
You cannot trust that anyone is working with your future in mind – except for your truck crash attorney.
“I was given my options, clearly explained risks, never pressured to go any route I didn’t want and ALWAYS had a group of people who I knew were looking out for me and ready to fight until the end”. – SAMANTHA, personal injury client
You need to ensure you’re working with representation you can trust to go to court, if that’s what your case needs. Call 303-465-8733 today to speak with experienced Denver semi truck accident attorneys.
What Do I Need to Do After a Truck Accident in Colorado?
We’ll keep this simple. After your accident, tackle this to-do list as quickly as you can:
- Call 911. Don’t stop to think if you’re hurt. Just call.
Police and emergency medical services will arrive shortly. Ask the officer writing your report for their badge number. Later, you can use that number to look up your accident record. - Take pictures. If you can do so safely, document the scene.
Snap pictures of license plates, your injuries, the vehicle, the area around the accident, and nearby traffic signs. - Get medical help. Even if you feel fine, get to a hospital.
Your adrenaline will be high, which can mask serious injuries. Do not admit that you are unhurt or refuse medical care, in any case. - Get contact information. Ask the other involved parties to share their company and insurance information.
If any witnesses saw the event, ask for their contact details, too. Your commercial vehicle accident lawyer will want this information.
If you’re working after the fact – scrolling through this list while at the hospital, or after you’ve gotten home safely – you can still take action (and it’s important that you do so, ASAP).
Call the Denver police station to file a report, get to the hospital to create a dated medical record, and write down as much as you can remember about the event as possible.
Then, call 303-465-8733 to talk to a commercial truck accident lawyer immediately. This will start your case and free you up to focus on healing.
