Automobile accidents
Car accidents occur often and can severely injure or even kill victims. There are many possible causes for car accidents, including DUIs, reckless driving, faulty manufacturing, bad weather, and poorly maintained roads. If you or somebody you know was injured in an accident, do not hesitate to contact auto accident lawyer in Colorado Springs.
Trucking accidents
Trucking accidents account for a high percentage of fatal vehicle accidents, due to the heavy weight and bulk of commercial semi trucks, tractor-trailers, and 18-wheelers. There are several common causes of trucking accidents:
- Driver fatigue
- Jackknifing
- Rollovers
- Long braking distances
- Truck driver inexperience
- Lack of proper training
- Overloaded or improperly loaded
Bus accidents
A bus accident can cause excessive damage and injury due to the size of the vehicle and the number of passengers. Buses serve many different types of passengers, including commuters, schoolchildren, and travelers. Bus drivers and bus companies have a special responsibility to provide an utmost “duty of care” to the passengers. If a driver or company fails to act towards the public with attention and caution, injured passengers or the public may file claims of negligence.
Train accidents
Train accidents can result in damage to property, catastrophic injuries, and death. Whether they are carrying cargo or passengers, trains often travel at high speeds through populated areas. This creates the unfortunate potential for various types of accidents:
- Train colliding with train
- Train colliding with automobile
- Train hitting a pedestrian
- Train derailing
Motorcycle accidents
Motorcycles offer little protection against the impact of other vehicles on the road. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to serious injuries or even death. In some cases, accidents happen because drivers of larger vehicles do not yield to motorcycles because they do not see them. Another cause for motorcycle accidents could involve malfunction due to careless manufacturing; in such cases, a motorcyclist file a product liability claim.
Bicycle accidents
Cyclists sharing the roads with motor vehicles have little to protect them if they are struck. Although bicycle lanes have been implemented in many cities and towns, people riding bicycles still face a risk of being hit by careless drivers. Broken bones, traumatic head and brain injuries, internal injuries, and even death are the possible and unfortunate results of bicycle accidents.
