If you or a loved one is a victim, read on to learn more about when to hire our Colorado truck accident lawyers, how they may be able to help, and more. 

    When to Hire a Truck Accident Lawyer

    Hiring a lawyer after a truck accident becomes essential under certain circumstances. Let's discuss a few common scenarios where you may need to have such an attorney handle your case. 

    Your Injuries Are Severe

    You will likely need a lawyer if you or a loved one has sustained severe injuries. Besides the high medical expenses, you'll need to be able to afford the cost of long-term rehabilitation and also cover the potential loss of income.  

    You Don't Know Who Caused the Accident

    In some truck accidents, the issue of fault may be unclear or disputed. As you'd expect, you cannot file a claim without identifying the responsible party. Otherwise, who will you hold responsible for your injuries and damages? An experienced lawyer can investigate the accident and use their findings to determine liability. Once that's figured out, they'll discuss how best to approach the case. 

    Insurance Company Denies Your Claim

    Insurance companies don't like settling cases unless it is for the lowest amount possible. They make money by denying claims and collecting premiums. So if they deny your claim after an accident, it is wise to consult with a truck accident lawyer as soon as you can.

    The attorney will look at the reason for denial and determine whether the insurer was justified. Some common reasons for insurance claim denial include insufficient evidence, policy exclusions, or disputes over liability. If the insurer acted in bad faith, meaning they denied your claim for unfair reasons, a bad faith insurance lawyer may be able to hold them accountable. 

    Insurance Company Delays Your Claim

    Unreasonably delaying your claim can hurt you financially. If that's what you're dealing with, you should hire a truck accident lawyer. 

    In Colorado, insurance companies must respond to truck accident claims within 30 to 45 days of receiving the claim. That said, the state doesn't require them to settle the claim within a specified timeframe. Instead, these companies are expected to handle such claims "in a timely manner."

    Because of this legal loophole, some rogue insurers may decide to prolong the process to discourage claimants or reduce settlement amounts. They know that you're desperate for compensation, and your bills keep piling every day you go without getting the compensation you need and deserve. 

    Intentionally delaying a claim to force you to settle for less is unlawful. That's why you need a lawyer to intervene and put pressure on the insurance company to expedite your claim.

    Your Loved One Died In the Accident

    Sadly, some truck accidents may end up with the tragic loss of a loved one. If that is the case, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim against the other party and recover compensation through their insurer. 

    To do this, you'll need an attorney who specializes in wrongful death cases. That's because this kind of claim usually involves complex legal processes. Besides proving negligence, your lawyer will need to assess the value of the loss, file crucial paperwork, and navigate the hurdles the other party will set on your path to obtaining compensation.

    Note that the different scenarios we've discussed above are not conclusive. As long as you suffered severe injuries, hiring a lawyer to fight for your rights is critical. 

    What to Look for When Hiring a Truck Accident Lawyer In Colorado 

    There's so much information out there about the process of seeking legal representation after a truck accident. We understand how confusing this can be, especially if it's your first time looking for such an attorney. 

    While there are many factors to consider, we'll only focus on the most important.

    Experience

    You should only hire an attorney who specializes in truck accidents, not a general one. Such a lawyer understands Colorado's complex truck accident laws, including most of the tactics insurance companies may use to dispute, deny, or delay your claim. As a result, you can count on them to maximize your chances of obtaining a favorable outcome.

    Resources

    A truck accident case, especially one that involves serious injuries or death, often requires extensive resources that go into gathering evidence, conducting investigations, consulting with experts, and building a strong legal argument before facing the other party in or out of court. Without such resources, the attorney might settle for less than you deserve, leaving you with huge bills to pay out of pocket. 

    Results

    The best way to determine how experienced the lawyer is is by reviewing their past results. This will also give you an idea of their ability to deliver positive outcomes. If possible, find out how many similar cases they have won.   

    Reviews

    Reading attorney reviews gives you a clearer understanding of how the attorney (or law firm) will handle your case. Pay attention to the experiences shared by previous clients regarding the lawyer or firm. While you shouldn't expect every review to be positive, the majority should.

    Absolutely phenomenal. Our attorney Andrew Metzger was on point from day one with everything and I was so nervous before my deposition and he guided me thru how it was going to take place and told me to just be myself and assured me everything was going to be just fine and it was great. He was very professional but also very calming and compassionate at the same time. Not what you would expect lawyers to be like!
