Truck Accidents in Colorado
Every year, more than 500,000 commercial vehicle accidents happen throughout the United States. Although more than 400,000 of these accidents result in only property damages, there are more than 180,000 people who are left injured. Semi-truck accidents not only result in extensive damages to other vehicles, but many victims are left with catastrophic injuries. People involved in truck accidents are particularly vulnerable to suffering life-altering injuries. Traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and spinal cord injuries often require extensive hospitalization and result in overwhelming pain and suffering. To make matters even worse, numerous victims involved in these collisions never fully recover.
