Denver’s Trusted Trucking Accident Law Firm

Our attorneys make unsafe driver practices known

Truck drivers are required to comply with federal and state regulations to ensure driving safety, in addition to following the same travel laws as other drivers on the road. Even though trucking companies are controlled by industry regulations, they’ll often cut corners and bend rules to maximize their profits. This puts drivers at risk for violating the rules put in place to protect other drivers on the road.

At Bowman Law, we obtain the trucking company’s records and driving logs promptly to carefully review as further evidence of driver negligence. Once we determine that an accident was directly caused as a result of a driver violating one of these regulations, we ensure a strong basis to claim driver negligence and get you the compensation you deserve.

Without proper maintenance, trucks can experience a myriad of dangers problems like brake or tire failure, trailer problems creating unsafe transport of freight, steering equipment malfunctions, and more.

While overall driver negligence can be blamed in many truck accident cases, poor truck maintenance and defective trucking equipment can also cause crashes and serious injuries. Navigating cases caused by these issues can be complicated and overwhelming. Our attorneys are trained to take on these cases and handle the stressful parts, so you can focus on your healing.

With fully-loaded semi trucks weighing more than 80,000 pounds, colliding head on with one of these trucks while driving an automobile can cause massive impact. Especially when driving at highway speeds, these collisions can cause catastrophic, often fatal, injuries.

Head-on accidents typically occur when one vehicle abandons its proper lane, moving across the center line toward oncoming traffic. In some cases, it’s the truck that moves across the line, and in others, it’s the smaller vehicle.

Maneuvering and stopping an 18-wheeler can be challenging. Trucks require a much larger stopping time than a regular automobile. When a driver fails to stop in time, they’ll inevitably rear-end the car in front of them, which tends to be drastically smaller in weight and size. In these cases, passengers riding in the automobile can suffer severe, sometimes fatal, injuries from the impact made by the much larger truck.

Instead of seeking compensation to cover damages from a truck driver, trucking company, and their insurers, seek guidance from the experienced attorneys at Bowman Law. We work tirelessly to make sure your damages are covered and you’re compensated fairly.

Count on Bowman Law to represent your case

Trucking companies sometimes try to ship large amounts of goods while reducing the number of trips a truck has to take, resulting in dangerously overloaded trucks. Sudden stops, sharp turns, and poorly designed or defective equipment can cause an 18-wheeler to rollover, and these occurrences are even more likely to occur when combined with driver negligence.

If a semi-truck rollover collides with an automobile, the chance of survival can be significantly slimmer than other trucking accidents. When trying to recover your damages, you need experienced legal help that’s ready to protect you during the stressful process. You can count on the Bowman Law truck accident lawyers to not back down until we make it right.

One of the most dangerous types of truck accidents, underride accidents occur when a smaller automobile collides with the rear of the tractor trailer. Because of the extreme height difference, this positioning puts the smaller vehicle at risk for driving under the rear or side of a trailer.

Truck underride crashes can be some of the scariest and traumatizing truck accidents that happen on today’s busy roads and highways.
