Semi-Truck Accidents Can Lead to Serious Injuries

Friday, May 6, 2011 by Dianne L. Sawaya

Semi-trucks can cause serious injuries when they hit a car a fraction of the truck’s size. When the truck is properly maintained, the driver is well-trained and experienced, and he’s alert at the wheel, the chances of a Colorado semi-truck accident happening are low. But when semis aren’t well-maintained or the driver is inexperienced or spending too many hours behind the wheel, the odds of sustaining a serious injury in a semi-truck collision go up.

The problem with a big rig vs. automobile accident is that it isn’t a fair fight. If you’re in the car, you’re pretty much guaranteed to lose, and results can be life-changing. Serious injuries to your head, neck and back can leave you paralyzed or in a wheel chair. A semi-truck accident can leave you with a traumatic brain injury that requires special care for the rest of your life. A truck accident can even kill you.

If you or a family member has been involved in a semi-truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries by bringing a legal claim against the trucking company, truck driver, the garage that performed maintenance on the truck, or other liable parties. An experienced semi-truck accident attorney from The Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya can assess your case, determine whether you have a claim and plan what your next steps should be.
