Colorado Truck Accidents
Large commercial trucks are essential to Colorado’s economy, but on Denver’s crowded roadways, they can also pose a serious risk. When an 18-wheeler or delivery truck is involved in a crash, the results are often devastating for occupants of smaller vehicles. Each year, countless Coloradans are injured in truck-related accidents, many suffering long-term physical, emotional, and financial consequences.
Denver’s intricate highway network—including I-25, I-70, and major thoroughfares like Colorado Boulevard and Peña Boulevard—sees heavy truck traffic every day. With frequent construction zones, fast-changing weather, and dense urban congestion, the risk of a serious collision is high.
Several common factors contribute to truck accidents in the area:
- Driver Fatigue: Long hours behind the wheel can leave truck drivers dangerously tired, impairing reaction times and judgment.
- Improperly Loaded Cargo: Shifting or unsecured loads can cause trucks to jackknife or tip over, especially during sharp turns or sudden stops.
- Brake Failures and Maintenance Lapses: Large trucks require regular inspections. When key components fail—like brakes or tires—the consequences can be catastrophic.
- Blind Spots and Wide Turns: Passenger vehicles often disappear from a truck driver’s view, leading to side-swipes or collisions during lane changes or turns.
- Speeding and Pressure to Meet Delivery Deadlines: Time constraints can push drivers to take risks, especially on busy roads and in poor weather.
Truck accident injuries are often more severe than those from standard car crashes. Victims commonly suffer from spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and internal trauma. Recovery may require extended hospitalization, surgery, and rehabilitation, not to mention time off work and significant emotional distress.
