The aftermath of a truck accident can be brutal to deal with when it comes to the potential for severe injuries and even the death of a loved one. In some cases, the true extent of the damages isn’t even known for months or years. It can be a long road as you try to return to your life after a severe truck accident.
In Colorado, in most situations, a person has three years from the date of the accident to bring a wrongful death or injury lawsuit. Waiting beyond that period of time may mean that your case will get thrown out rather than getting the compensation you deserve unless there are other circumstances involved.
While you have that amount of time to bring a lawsuit, it can be vital to your case to speak with an experienced attorney quickly after the accident. Substantial evidence, eyewitness testimony, and other information you need for your case could be lost over time if you wait too long to speak with an attorney. They can help you build your case and determine the proper timeline based on your situation.
