Truck Driver Killed In Collision – Denver Truck Accident Attorney

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

A semi-driver died early this morning after colliding with a bison and rolling his truck. The Denver Post is reporting that the accident happened at about 3:35 a.m. on westbound U.S. 36 just north of Byers. Colorado State Trooper Nate Reid said the driver was hauling salt when his truck struck a bison that had wandered onto the highway. The collision caused the truck to run off the road and roll. The driver was not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the accident and investigators are looking into where the bison came from and who may own the animal.

According to Defenders.org, between 1993 and 2003 there were 26,678 wildlife vehicle collisions in Colorado. Of those collisions, 2,266 people were injured and 23 people lost their lives. Almost half of all wildlife related car accidents are because the driver swerved to avoid an animal crossing the road.

The physical damage suffered by passengers and vehicles in a truck accident is typically far more severe than in many other motor vehicle accidents. Traumatic brain injury, paralyzing spinal cord injury, burns and amputations can change the lives of victims forever. Denver Truck Accident Attorney Saul R.

Roll-over Accident Claims One Life – Colorado Personal Injury Attorney

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

A Fort Collins man was killed Wednesday morning following a fiery car crash. According to the Denver Post, Jason Downey was driving on Larimer County Road 19 when he ran off the road, overcorrected and rolled his vehicle. Mr. Downey was ejected from his vehicle when it rolled over and burst into flames. A passing motorist used their vehicle to push the burning vehicle away from Mr. Downey. An investigation will determine whether speed, alcohol, drugs or other factors played a role in the accident.

A car accident can result in serious injury and death. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, 37,261 people died in motor vehicle crashes in the U.S. in 2008.

A Colorado personal injury attorney should be retained when an accident results in the death of a loved one. Injury cases may arise because of a variety of incidents, including car accidents, aviation accidents, defective products, job injury, or medical malpractice.

Pursuing an injury claim will not bring your loved one back to you, but it will ensure that you and your children will have increased financial security in the years to come. Surviving family members may be entitled to recover compensation for expenses and losses. A jury may award your family monetary damage awards to recover some of the expected losses.

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

The Colorado State Patrol has announced the implementation of a new program aimed at reducing the number of crashes between cars and big rigs. The Denver Post reports that the State Patrol will call the program TACT (Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks). A spokesman for the State Patrol is hopeful that the program will reduce fatalities caused by accidents involving big rigs.

In 2009, 31 people were killed in car-big rig accidents in Colorado. In many cases, the cause of the accidents was aggressive driving. The State Patrol believes extra attention paid to aggressive drivers will result in the overall decline of big rig accidents.
