Truck Accidents in Colorado
Truck accidents are a less common type of auto accidents that unfortunately still happen all too frequently. Auto and truck accidents are some of the leading causes of death and injury in the United States today. That is why there are many laws and regulations in place to help avoid accidents as often as possible. Despite these precautions being in place, truck accidents still occasionally happen, causing severe injuries. If you have been injured in a truck accident in Colorado, you may be in need of a truck accident attorney. Personal injury attorneys, including truck accident attorneys, help injured individuals obtain the compensation that they need after an accident. Due to this fact, many people need medical and financial help after being in an accident.
Truck accidents are set apart from auto accidents because they are much more dangerous. The size of trucks (especially semi-trucks) makes them extremely destructive in the event of an accident. The resulting damages and injuries can be catastrophic. If you have been injured in a truck accident in Colorado, reach out to us at Lebaron & Jensen for personal injury law services.
What To Do After A Truck Accident
The aftermath of a truck accident can be extremely confusing and scary. But as with any type of accident, the first thing that must be done is call the police and seek medical attention. Even if you do not think that you have severe injuries, a doctor can help ensure that you do not have any lasting injuries or other problems. Another important thing to do after a truck accident if you are in the right frame of mind and are physically able is to talk with witnesses and gather any information, including photos of the scene. Once you have received proper medical attention, it is time to reach out to a truck accident attorney. Your attorney can then help you get your life back on track after an accident.
Causes Of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents happen relatively frequently, despite the training the semi-truck drivers receive and the general laws that exist to keep people safe on the roads. Oftentimes, the reason why a truck accident occurs will be unique to the situation. However, there are several common causes of truck accidents including:
- Drunk driving or driving under the influence
- Weather conditions
- Driver fatigue
- Old or faulty vehicle/truck parts
- Hazardous road conditions
- Improper driver training
- Reckless driving
- Lack of space to stop or slow down
Depending on the cause of the accident, there can be a number of people held liable. The truck driver, trucking company, truck manufacturer, cargo loader, the other vehicle, or the local government could all be parties that could be held responsible for a truck accident. With the right attorney, you will be able to make the claims that you need to to obtain the proper compensation.
Why Truck Accident Attorneys Are Important
It is essential after a truck accident to get in touch with a personal injury attorney that specializes in different types of auto accidents. The reason why this is important is because of the awful injuries that can be sustained after truck accidents which result in large medical bills. Unfortunately, trucking companies and insurance firms try their very hardest to avoid paying a settlement to injured individuals. They are businesses, afterall, meaning they are trying to minimize their expenses as much as possible. With a qualified attorney, you can obtain the compensation you deserve after being injured in an accident, as your attorney can more accurately determine liability.

I had a great experience with LeBaron & Jensen P.C. They kept in contact with me throughout the entire process, and were extremely informative and explained anything I didn’t understand about the proceedings of the case. I would highly recommend LeBaron & Jensen to anyone seeking Legal representation. I was driving westbound on Highway 193 in Clearfield Utah, when I came to the intersection of 1000 East and Highway 193. I noticed that a firetruck was travelling east towards the intersection with its emergency lights on, all traffic around me, including myself, slowed to a stop to allow the firetruck an unimpeded path to travel. However, I noticed the Jeep behind me wasn’t slowing down. There wasn’t anything I could do to avoid the collision, so I just braced for impact. Although I was wearing my seatbelt, I still suffered many injuries to my neck, shoulders, back, and arms. About a month after the accident I finally sought medical help for my injuries. I underwent many years of treatment for my accident-related injuries, including a carpel tunnel surgery and 2 rhyzotomy procedures, x-rays, MRIs causing me to incur over $60,000 in medical expenses. I decided I should seek legal help with my case, as I knew there was no way I could pay my medical expenses on my own. The legal team at LeBaron & Jensen were exceptional. They were able to negotiate with my health insurance and medical providers, lowering costs where they could. When all my legal and medical fees were paid, I was left with over $79,000. This money will help me pay for the future treatment that I will have to receive to try and help alleviate my future pain and suffering. I’m grateful for LeBaron & Jensen P.C. and everyone there who helped with my case! I thank them every day for the patience and persistence it took to see this through to a beneficial end.

LeBaron & Jensen did a great job for me, kept me informed throughout the process, and helped make sure that I got the compensation I needed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is suffering after an accident like mine. I was driving eastbound on Highway 193, a four-lane highway in Layton, Utah. I came to a stop at the two-way intersection of Highway 193 and North Hills Drive. The other driver failed to yield to my right-of-way and proceeded southbound through the intersection, I wasn’t able to stop fast enough, and I T-boned the other vehicle at a high speed. The impact of the crash was so severe that it triggered my vehicle’s airbags. The severity of the crash caused many serious and extensive injuries to my neck, back, shoulders, and head. Thankfully, I was restrained by my seatbelt, which prevented any worse injuries. I had to receive treatment for over a year and a half following the accident, including surgery on one of my shoulders. I was faced with $76,000 in medical bills. I knew I needed help, so I contacted LeBaron & Jensen P.C. Their attorneys worked diligently and negotiated with my insurance providers. After paying all my medical and legal fees, I was still able to pocket $51,000 to compensate for the pain, and suffering I endured because of the accident.

In January of 2014, my husband was involved in a terrible accident. He was driving on highway 89 in Wellsville, UT, when another driver ran a stop sign and pulled out in front of him. He tried to swerve out of the way, but he wasn’t able to avoid hitting the other vehicle. The resulting impact was so severe that even though he was wearing a seatbelt, he was violently thrown around in the cab of his truck and, as a result, hit his head on the windshield. This caused many injuries to his shoulders, back, and neck. My husband also suffered massive bruising and internal damage, and that’s not even the full extent of the injuries he suffered. He had to receive extensive treatments, including several shoulder surgeries, to try and help alleviate the pain he suffered because of the accident. Even after he underwent all those treatments he was still left in immense pain, and to top it all off, he was diagnosed with cancer in July of 2016. He decided to put off treatment for his shoulders to try and focus on his cancer treatments. He passed away in October of 2017. LeBaron & Jensen were there fighting for us through it all. They were able to get a settlement that covered all of Robert’s accident-related medical bills and all the required legal fees and additional money for his pain and suffering as a result of the accident. I’m so grateful for LeBaron & Jensen and all their support for myself and my husband through the years.

- When I tried to get coverage from the other driver’s insurance, they denied it. They told me that they had canceled the policy only a few days before the accident. The attorneys at LeBaron & Jensen P.C. were able to force the other driver’s insurance to pay out her policy limits of $25k plus replacing my car. I even ended up with a little money to set aside, that was important because this accident left me permanently disabled. The LeBaron & Jensen team negotiated with my health insurance provider and my other health care providers to reduce the costs of my medical expenses. I am very thankful for their professional service, and hard work. I couldn’t have negotiated on my own, I needed every ounce of energy to recover.Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
