Common Truck Accident Cases

We Cover Them All

Most catastrophic

Underride Collisions

A passenger car slides under a semi’s trailer in a side or rear impact, the deadliest kind of truck accident. Federal underride guard standards have been criticized as inadequate for decades. A missing or failed guard can shift liability to the carrier and the trailer manufacturer, and we pursue both.

Talk to Dylan
Loss of control

Jackknife & Rollover

When a trailer swings out of line or a top-heavy load tips, an 18-wheeler can sweep across several lanes. We pull the truck’s Electronic Control Module data, GPS logs and dispatch records to reconstruct the moment of failure.

Talk to Dylan
Blind-spot blame-shift

Wide Turn & Right-Hook

A big rig can’t make a right turn from the right lane, so it swings left first and traps the cars beside it. Carriers blame the smaller vehicle. We secure surveillance footage, witnesses and the truck’s own cameras to prove the driver botched the turn.

Talk to Dylan
Stopping-distance physics

Truck-on-Car Rear-Ends

A loaded tractor-trailer at highway speed needs nearly two football fields to stop. When a truck hits the car ahead of it, the cause is almost always following distance, distraction or fatigue, and all three leave a trail in driver logs and ECM data.

Talk to Dylan
FMCSA violations

Driver Fatigue & Hours of Service

Federal rules cap commercial drivers at 11 hours behind the wheel. Falsified logbooks, ELD tampering and pressure to make the delivery window are common in truck accident cases, and when we prove them, the trucking company itself is on the hook.

Talk to Dylan
Hazardous loads

Cargo Spill & Hazmat

An unsecured load or a hazmat release turns a truck accident into a multi-defendant case: the loader, the shipper, the broker. Each carries its own insurance. We map the full chain so no responsible party hides behind the trucking company.

Talk to Dylan
Why It Matters Who You Hire

What the trucking insurers will do and how we answer.

They’ll be on scene before you’re out of the ER.

Trucking carriers send rapid-response teams within hours of a truck accident, and the big rig’s black box data, dash-cam footage, driver logs and dispatch records can legally be overwritten in as little as 30 days. Our spoliation letter goes out the same day you hire us, so the evidence is locked in place.

They’ll point fingers down the chain.

A truck accident rarely has one defendant. The driver, the trucking company, the truck owner, the maintenance contractor, the cargo loader, the broker: each may carry a separate policy. We map every party and every policy so no insurer can push the blame to someone else.

They’ll bury the violation.

Semi drivers and commercial trucking companies operate under Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations covering hours of service, drug and alcohol testing, maintenance and driver qualifications. A documented violation is powerful evidence of negligence. Volume firms rarely build a truck accident case around it. We do.

Direct Attorney Access

No case managers. No revolving door.

At a high-volume firm your truck accident is a file number. At Venyx you have Dylan’s direct line.

  • You talk to Dylan. From the first call to the last. Every call, every email, every demand letter.
  • Dylan handles the case himself. The defense in a truck accident case is a carrier with in-house counsel and dedicated investigators. You get an attorney running your investigation, negotiation and litigation strategy. Not a script, not a hand-off.
  • Built for trial. First-chair jury trials in Colorado state and federal court, and more lawsuits filed than most Colorado injury attorneys file in a career. Trucking insurers know which attorneys go to trial, and it changes their offer.

The Fee Difference

The industry never modernized. We did.

Nearly every injury firm charges a percentage of your recovery. The difference is what percentage they charge. We are transparent with our fees. Most firms tend to hide theirs.

Calculator figures are estimates only; actual fees are discussed at consultation, and your final recovery is also reduced by case costs, medical liens and other legal obligations. Every case is different.

I worked with a law office for over 2 years before I met Dylan Unger and the contrast couldn't be more dramatic. I went from a case that had no end in sight to Dylan taking over and quickly litigating my case to a final resolution. I paid thousands less due to Dylan's fee structure, and my case was resolved months earlier. A true testament to his expertise, professionalism, and dedication.

I had an excellent experience working with Dylan. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. He took the time to clearly explain each step and made what could have been a stressful situation feel manageable. I would highly recommend Dylan Unger to anyone looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and dedicated attorney.

I can't begin to explain the importance of having a caring attorney. If you need a lawyer who actually listens, call Dylan. He helped me through a very scary crash. I had no idea how to navigate this process. Dylan met all of my expectations and went beyond. I'm eternally grateful for the opportunity to work with him.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

01

How much do lawyers take from a truck accident settlement?

Most firms take 33% to 35% if the case settles before a lawsuit is filed, and 40% to 45% once one is filed. We charge 29% standard, and 33% if we file suit. The actual dollar figure depends on what gets recovered, and at every fee level the firm never makes more than the client.

02

How much does a truck accident lawyer charge in Colorado?

Nearly all Colorado injury firms work on contingency, which means the fee comes out of the recovery and you pay nothing upfront. Rates here typically run 33% to 35% before a lawsuit and 40% to 45% after one is filed. Ours are 29% and 33%.

03

Why is your fee lower than other firms?

We built the firm around modern case management technology, which keeps our overhead low and puts more of Dylan's time into casework instead of administration. Same trial-ready aggression, less cost to run the firm. When technology makes the work more efficient, the client should keep the savings. So we pass that difference on instead of pocketing it.

04

What case costs am I responsible for?

Case costs are the out-of-pocket expenses of building your claim: ordering medical records, court filing fees, expert witness fees. They are separate from our fee, and we keep them down by using vetted providers and by using technology to avoid the expenses we can. What you will never see from us is a technology charge. Firms are increasingly using software to do the work paralegals and assistants used to do, then billing that software back to the client, often $150 to $700 or more on top of an already higher percentage. They cut the salary and charge you for the replacement. Ask any firm you are considering whether their technology shows up on your settlement statement. Ours never will. Technology is our cost of doing business, not a way to take more from injured clients.

05

Why should I get a lawyer if the truck accident was not my fault?

Because fault is only part of it. The claim still has to be built and documented, a semi crash usually has several insurance policies in play (the driver, the trucking company, the trailer owner, the cargo loader), and the carrier’s adjusters are trained to pay you as little as possible. We know how to find every policy that applies, negotiate with medical providers and adjusters, and pursue the full value of your claim.

06

Is it worth getting an attorney for a truck accident?

Almost always. Commercial truck crashes tend to cause serious injuries, and the trucking company’s insurer starts working the case within hours. If you needed medical care, missed work, or are still in treatment, a lawyer usually changes the outcome by more than the fee costs. The consultation is free, we only earn a fee if we recover for you, and the firm never makes more than the client.
