Arvada Truck Accident Attorneys Serving the Denver Metro Area

Working to hold negligent drivers or trucking companies accountable

The large size and heavy weight of commercial trucks are the two main factors that make these vehicles extremely dangerous to other drivers on the road. In an accident, big rigs have the power to smash cars. The massive weight of an 18-wheeler delivers much greater physical force than a passenger car, and its higher bumper puts that force right at head level for most cars’ occupants. At The Elliott Law Offices, P.C., we handle your trucking accident case with compassion and determination to recover the full and fair compensation you deserve for the injuries you sustained.

Citations associated with truck accidents

Statistically, truck accident claims often revolve around citations, such as:

• Speeding
• Illegal maneuvering
• Driving under the influence

However, we look beyond the citation to fully investigate the cause of the accident. The driver may not be the only liable party. Trucking companies are known for overloading tractor-trailers and forcing drivers to meet strict deadlines.

These types of claims are often the most difficult and contentious to file and win, but the attorneys at The Elliott Law Offices have a proven track record of success. We handle large truck accidents resulting from:

What are the standard federal trucking laws?

But there is an enormous gray area surrounding what constitutes negligence, which is why these claims tend to be highly disputed.

Specifically, very detailed laws govern truck drivers, and if any of them are broken, it could result in a significant monetary award to a plaintiff in a truck accident lawsuit. These laws include:

If there’s evidence supporting the violation of any of these laws, we pursue your claim aggressively to obtain a positive result for you.
