Relevant Colorado and Federal Laws Fatal Truck Accidents Your Free Case Evaluation Was the Truck Driver At Fault? Semi-trucks are so large that they can cause horrible and catastrophic injuries if you're ever involved in an accident with one. Oftentimes, these accidents are completely avoidable, but occur because of a truck driver's negligence. Common truck accidents occur because of the following: Truck driver disobeying traffic laws: Sometimes truck drivers disobey speed limits, regulations when they're driving in inclement weather or on a steep incline, or even disobey the rules that stipulate which lanes they're supposed to remain within. Truck drivers trying to meet deadlines: Trucking companies and truck drivers make more money when they meet or exceed deadlines. Therefore, truck drivers may be tempted to drive too fast or overload their cargo in an attempt to get more product to their destination. Truck driver fatigue: When a driver is trying to make a deadline, they may drive when they're far too tired to be behind the wheel. They may consume too much caffeine or anti-sleeping medications in order to keep driving, but their reaction time is affected by their exhaustion and can lead to accidents. Poorly-trained truck drivers: Sometimes, trucking companies don't properly train their drivers because they're in a rush to get them working. This can lead to truck drivers making mistakes and causing automobile accidents. Of course the vast majority of professional drivers are hard-working individuals whose work makes commerce possible. But as in any profession, a few bad apples can cause serious accidents. It is the drivers who diverge from standard procedure who pose the most risk. Attorney Chris Jeffress will investigate your case to determine if the driver is responsible.

Boulder boasts more than 300 miles of dedicated bikeways, which may be part of the reason 10.5% of the city’s population reports biking to work regularly. That’s nearly 20-times the national average. However, as impressive as this statistic is, it also means more bicycle and car collisions, many of which result in serious injury for the cyclist. If you have been injured while riding your bike in Boulder, Louisville, or surrounding areas of Colorado, please contact Jeffress Law online or by calling 303-732-6634 to schedule a free and informative consultation today. Boulder Bicycle Culture Bicycling is one of the hallmarks of the Boulder lifestyle. You see bicycles of all types across the city, including in the following areas: Boulder Creek Path Highway 36 north from Boulder to Lyons Flagstaff Road Intersection of Baseline and Broadway near campus From Lycra-clad road cyclists to students to tourists on rented B-cycles, riders of all sorts fill the streets of our city. The motorists, truck drivers, RTD bus operators and pedestrians mostly all share the road with cyclists courteously; however, accidents do sometimes occur regardless of our status as one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in America. Common Cycling Accident Injuries Boulder cycling accident statistics Boulder is a bike-friendly community. Seven out of every ten Boulderites own a bicycle and a good number use theirs at least once a week. In between, other forms of alternative transportation, including walking, are the preferred method of travel for many in our city. Similar to pedestrian accidents, accidents between bicycles and cars typically result in serious or even fatal injury. This can include: Injury to the head neck Brain injury Spinal cord injury Broken or fractured bones Disfigurement According to the Boulder Cycling Club, 75% of all deaths and permanent disabilities incurred during bicycle accidents result from brain injury. Helmet use is not required for bicycling in Colorado, but failure to wear one can impact your ability to collect fair compensation when injured in a bicycle accident. Regardless of helmet use, if you were injured by a motorist’s actions, Boulder pedestrian accident attorney Chris Jeffress is prepared to take your case as far as necessary to help you secure every penny you are due. The City of Boulder reports that most accidents between bicycles and cars occur at intersections, and an alarming 60% are a result of motorists failing to look for cyclists. 23% of these accidents occur when a right-turning driver fails to properly check for cyclists in approaching bike lanes or on paths and sidewalks. In a city with such a large cycling population this is entirely unacceptable. Potential Compensation in a Cycling Claim In a claim against the party who is responsible for the crash, we will seek maximum compensation for all the ways the injury has affected your life. Compensation is commonly sought for: Loss of income from being unable to work Medical bills, both present and future Pain and suffering related to the accident and injury Physical rehabilitation costs Prescription medication costs Out-of-pocket expenses Consult with Mr. Jeffress to find out if pursuing compensation is an option. As a cyclist, you may have been involved in a collision with a motorist or a pedestrian. Mr. Jeffress will evaluate your situation to see if liability lies with any of the involved parties. Your Rights as a Cyclist On your bicycle, you have certain rights and privileges afforded to you: You have the same rights as a motorist Riding two abreast is allowed in bike lanes as long as the flow of traffic is not impeded A motorist overtaking you must allow at least 3 feet between the side of the car and you You have the same rights as a pedestrian if you are riding or walking your bike through a crosswalk You can use the left turn lane when: You are turning left at an intersection or into a driveway; you are overtaking a slow vehicle; to avoid a hazard or dangerous road condition. By law you are supposed to provide an "audible signal" when overtaking a pedestrian You cannot ride on the sidewalk where it is prohibited to do so As a cyclist, you must obey all traffic laws and signals. You are not supposed to ride through an empty intersection against the light, even though traffic is not present. You must make a full stop at a stop sign, and obey traffic lights. You must also use the shoulder/right side of the road/bike path, unless it is unsafe to do so. For example, a hole or debris in these areas would be sufficient reason to safely move into a left lane. It would also be acceptable to use the left lanes if you were traveling down a one-way road, or making a left turn. There are other laws pertaining to cyclists in Boulder. The main takeaway is to be courteous, obey traffic laws and share the road. The flipside of this is that motorists owe you respect and courtesy as well.

If you believe that your loved one's death was the result of another's carelessness, please contact our wrongful death lawyers at Jeffress Law today. Call us at 303-732-6634. What is Wrongful Death? In order to file a wrongful death lawsuit, our attorney has to establish that your loved one's death was because of another's negligence. Negligence can be found against a person, a company, or a manufacturer. Here are the things Mr. Jeffress will try to establish in your wrongful death case: The death was caused by the wrongful acts of another The wrongful acts of the other person were negligent The death has caused emotional and financial trauma on the victim's surviving family There is compensation available for the victim's wrongful death If we can establish all of these things, our lawyer will work tirelessly to get you compensation for your loved one's loss of income, loss of benefits, loss of retirement funds, and the emotional pain and suffering you are struggling with. Causes of Wrongful Death Wrongful death cases can occur from a variety of unfortunate acts. Mr. Jeffress has had experience working on wrongful death cases caused by the following: Automobile accidents Defective or recalled products Dangerous premises Ski/snowboard accidents Construction accidents If you have a loved one that has been killed as a result of any of these common causes of wrongful death, you may be eligible to file a claim.

Wrongful Death Compensation Boulder CO wrongful death compensationThe point of these claims is to pursue compensation for the losses – both economic and otherwise – that you and your family have experienced as a result of the death. When compensation is successfully recovered, it is awarded based on factors unique to each case. Some of the most common reasons for compensation awards include: Funeral and burial expenses Medical bills and healthcare costs related to fatal injury or illness The loved one's wages, income and other financial contributions, both present and future Loss of loved one's benefits such as retirement and health insurance Loss of companionship, guidance and love As an attorney who has handled many of these cases, Mr. Jeffress knows that no amount of money can undo the grief you are experiencing. But a fact of life is that the passing of our family members comes with financial implications. Whether your loved one was supporting your family, or was part of a retirement plan for a future together, or was going to help put children through college, there are so many ways we contribute to our loved ones' lives. Financial compensation helps you replace some of these monetary losses. Furthermore, compensation may be awarded for your pain, suffering and anguish, which is often an overwhelming burden when a death is wrongful. Mr. Jeffress wants to know all of these things you are experiencing so that he can fight aggressively on your behalf. Relevant Laws and Statutes in Colorado State statutes regarding wrongful death more or less look similar. In Colorado, according to the Statute of Limitations, this type of claim must be filed within 2 years of the date of death. After that time, it will be difficult or impossible to file a claim. But even if it has been more than 2 years, we encourage you to call us. Each case is unique and has its own circumstances. You may still be eligible to pursue compensation. In Colorado, the following people may be eligible to file such a claim: Spouse Children Parents Representatives of the estate Usually, during the first year the spouse is the only family who can sue for wrongful death. In the second year, spouse and children become eligible. A representative of the estate plan may be eligible as well. To learn more, please call our law firm. Mr. Jeffress can determine whether you can pursue a case for your loved one's death.
