Attending to Unique Truck Accident Issues
Due to the sheer size of their vehicles, truck drivers have special responsibilities to other people on the road. If an semi was involved in your car accident, your lawyer needs to be familiar with certain unique issues, including the following:
- A typical semi truck is covered by multiple insurance policies: one on the cab, one on the bed and one on the trucking company. The coverage offered by these policies may "stack" or overlap. We are experienced at sorting out the insurance policies to ensure that you are pursuing the greatest available amount of compensation.
- Special federal and state trucking rules apply to 18-wheeler drivers. They are required to have a certain degree of training, and they must keep logbooks showing that they have not driven more than the maximum number of hours per day.
El Paso County semi truck crash attorney Lee K. Rosenbaum understands how these issues affect truck accident injury cases and knows how to deal with trucking insurance companies.
Keeping an Eye on the DOT Investigation
According to state law, the Colorado Department of Transportation (DOT) must investigate any semi truck crash that occurs in Colorado.
