Large commercial trucks are a vital part of our economy, and there are more semi-trucks on the
road in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming than ever before. However, with the increase in 18-wheeler
vehicles comes an increase in the number of serious accidents caused by these massive vehicles on
the road. Given the significant size, weight, and force of commercial trucks the accidents that are
caused by these vehicles often result in injuries far more severe than the typical car accident. If
you or someone you know has been injured in a truck accident, you need the expert personal
injury attorneys at the Rocky Mountain Personal Injury Center. Call the office or contact us today

It is essential that you speak with an expert in truck accidents as soon as possible after a crash in
order to preserve your claims and get the compensation you deserve from those responsible for
the harm.
Liability in Truck Accident Cases
One critical issue in every truck accident case is determining who is liable for the accident. There
are many parties that may ultimately be at fault for a truck accident. If the accident was caused by
negligent or reckless actions of the driver while behind the wheel, the driver may be responsible
for damages. If the accident was caused by improper loading of the vehicle or lapsed maintenance,
then the trucking company may be liable for the accident. If poor servicing on the vehicle or
defective equipment leads to an accident, then the mechanic or equipment manufacturer may
ultimately be liable for damages.
Let an Attorney Represent You
Truck accidents are often complex legal cases with multiple insurance companies, lawyers, and
possible liable parties all trying to mitigate or eliminate your claims for compensation. When you
hire an experienced attorney to handle your injury case, he or she will shoulder the burden of
navigating the legal process for you. Your lawyer will communicate and negotiate with the
insurers, investigate liable parties, and file everything with the court to preserve your claims all
