Serious Car Accidents, Truck Accidents a Problem in Colorado

Traffic accidents, particularly those involving large trucks, are quite problematic in Colorado. That might not be surprising, given the fact that there are several high-speed interstates – including I-25 and I-70 – crisscrossing the Centennial State. Tractor-trailers and other vehicles log millions of miles on these highways every year.

Sadly, not everyone makes it to their destination safely. Hundreds of people of dying on Colorado interstates and roads every year. Fatal traffic accidents don’t just happen with great frequency; they’re becoming more and more commonplace.

In the last decade, traffic accident fatalities in Colorado have surged. In 2011, there were 447 reported motor vehicle deaths in the state. In 2017, 648 people lost their lives in deadly traffic accidents here – an increase of 45 percent.

While deaths have declined slightly in 2018 and 2019, an average of between one and two people are still dying on Colorado roads every single day. In the first few weeks of 2020, there have been at least 44 deaths. So, it appears that the deadly trend is continuing.

Not all passenger vehicle accidents in Colorado are fatal. However, crashes on Interstate 25 or Interstate 70 can still cause quite a bit of damage. Many leave victims struggling with catastrophic injuries that affect them for the rest of their lives.

According to statistics published by the Colorado Highway Safety Improvement Program, there were 3,212 reported serious car accident injuries in the state in 2013. By 2016, state efforts to reduce serious traffic accidents had little impact.

That year, 2,958 people were still seriously injured in crashes on state roads. The following year, serious injuries surpassed 3,000 once again when 3,036 people sustained catastrophic trauma in collisions in Colorado. So, not only are between one and two people dying on Colorado roads every day, but another 8 or 9 are sustaining life-changing injuries, as well.

Representing All Injured Truck Accident Victims in Colorado

EXPERIENCED ATTORNEY WITH A PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS

Large tractor-trailers can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. They’re notoriously challenging to navigate, even under the best circumstances. If one thing goes wrong, these large, heavy vehicles can jack-knife, flip, and crash.

At Stephens Law Firm, PLLC, Jason Stephens knows that may deserve to be compensated for your injuries after a collision with a large truck. That’s why he represent truck crash victims across Colorado, including those in Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Boulder, Fort Collins, Vail Valley, and Summit County.

Client Reviews

Our daughter was taken from us tragically. I knew I needed to hire an attorney but didn’t know where to turn. I prayed for help to find an attorney that would be the right person for us. Finding Jason and his staff (Tracy) were like finding a needle in the haystack. They handled our case very professionally and we had great communication with them. Very compassionate and caring firm. If I could give 10 plus stars, I would. We highly recommend Stephens Law Firm.

Karen Ellis

Jason represented us after my wife was in a terrible auto accident. Jason came to San Antonio the morning after my call with him, and he was very empathetic given the grave injuries suffered by my wife. He was extremely thorough gathering evidence and testimony. He was relentless in successfully pursuing his strategy. The results of his work has enabled me to provide top notch medical care for my wife for the ensuing 14 (and counting) years. It is totally appropriate and not at all surprising that Jason has been voted a Top Attorney in Texas year after year.

Patrick McClure

I met Jason and Tracy while looking for Legal Representation. If it wasn’t for the excellent attention to detail provided by Tracy and Jason, the outcome would not have been as great as it was. This Firm also provided the empathy and understanding I needed while recovering by checking in on me as “Part of the Family”, not just as my Attorney.

Dave Powell

I am extremely pleased with Mr. Jason Stephens legal representation. Both Jason and Tracy are compassionate and patient in walking you through the entire process. Although my case was difficult, Mr. Stephens and his staff worked above and beyond to settle my case and compensate me for my auto accident injuries. Thank you all for time and effort.

Marisela Perez

Jason Stephens and his team are down to earth professionals. They completely redefined what a personal injury attorney was in my eyes. They approach tough legal situations with the mindset that it does not have to be a mean, rude, nor an evil process. They were calm and professional in representing us and that in itself helped us stay emotionally stable in what was a very tough time. When it came time to step to the plate and push, Jason did just that and represented us very well. Communication was A+ and we were lucky to have hired him.

Joe Chou

Phenomenal personal injury lawyer with morals. He works hard for his clients and really knows the law. I consider myself blessed to be introduced to him. I can’t imagine anyone else better than him.

That’s why Jason Stephens will roll up his sleeves and dig deep to figure out what caused your truck accident. When he figures out why an accident happened, he can know who to hold accountable.

Commonly reported causes of truck accidents, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and other experts, include:

Distracted driving
Driving while fatigued
Unfamiliarity with roadway
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Failure to survey and monitor the road
Speeding or traveling too fast for the given conditions
Mechanical or brake problems

Limited Time to File a Trucking Accident Lawsuit in Colorado

When truck drivers aren’t careful, they can put a lot of lives at risk. If they cause injuries or take a life, they must be held fully accountable. You can potentially recover compensation from a negligent truck driver, their employer, and/or other negligent parties by filing an injury claim or lawsuit. However, after an accident, you’ll only have a limited period of time to do so.

In Colorado, the statute of limitations for trucking accident lawsuits is two years from the date you get hurt. This is also true for wrongful death actions stemming from a fatal Colorado truck accident. The state will assume that you’ve waived your right to recover compensation if you do not file a claim on time. In other words, you’ll miss out on the money you deserve if you don’t assert your rights.

That’s why it’s critical to speak with a personal injury lawyer who has extensive experience and a demonstrated track record of success handling truck accident cases. Call Stephens Law Firm, PLLC to set up a time to discuss your case with an accomplished Colorado truck accident lawyer today.
