When A Motor Carrier Is Liable For A Pueblo Truck Crash On U.S. Highway 50 Or I-25
McCormick & Murphy are Pueblo commercial truck accident lawyers for crashes with a tractor-trailer or delivery truck. We get the Pueblo Police Department or Colorado State Patrol report, the records from Parkview, and we file in Pueblo County District Court when the insurer will not pay a fair number.
A truck accident is not like a passenger-vehicle crash. The liable party might be the driver, the motor carrier, a freight broker, the shipper who loaded the cargo, a maintenance contractor who failed to service brakes or tires, or even a third-party company that arranged the transport. Federal motor-carrier regulations impose duties on multiple parties, and negligence by any one of them can create liability.
Pueblo Boulevard, U.S. Highway 50, Northern Avenue, and I-25 all carry commercial traffic. When a collision occurs on these routes or near Pueblo West, Bessemer, or Downtown Pueblo, we investigate which company or person failed to meet federal safety standards, driver qualifications, hours-of-service rules, or maintenance requirements.
ELD Logs, Black Box Data, And Pueblo Police Department Reports That Prove Fault
Commercial trucks generate a wealth of evidence that ordinary cars do not. Driver qualification files, hours-of-service logs, electronic logging device (ELD) data, event data recorder (black box) information, dispatch records, vehicle inspection reports, maintenance schedules, cargo documentation, and company safety policies all tell the story of how the crash happened.
Federal regulations require carriers to retain certain records for years. However, critical data—especially from the truck's control modules and ELDs—can be overwritten or lost if not preserved immediately after a crash. Pueblo Police Department, Pueblo County Sheriff's Office, and Colorado State Patrol reports provide the foundation, but internal company records often contain the proof needed to hold the carrier accountable.

Questions Pueblo Truck Accident Victims Ask About Hiring A Lawyer
Do I need Pueblo commercial truck accident lawyers after a crash?
Call Pueblo commercial truck accident lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. We meet you at 301 N. Main Street, Pueblo, CO 81003.
How much does it cost to hire you for my truck accident claim?
We work on contingency. You pay no upfront fee, and we collect nothing unless we recover money for you. Our fee comes from the settlement or judgment we obtain.
How long do I have to file a claim for my truck accident injuries?
Colorado law gives you three years from the date of the crash to file a personal-injury lawsuit. Do not wait. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can issue preservation demands and gather evidence before it vanishes.
What evidence should I preserve from my truck accident?
Preserve everything: the police report, photos of the scene and vehicles, witness contact information, medical records, pay stubs, communications with the truck company or its insurance carrier, and the truck's license-plate number and company name. Call us immediately so we can issue a formal preservation letter to the carrier's electronic data systems.
Can I recover damages if I was partially at fault in the crash?
Yes. Colorado follows comparative negligence law. Even if you were partly at fault, you can still recover as long as you were less than 50% responsible for the collision.
Who pays my medical bills while my case is ongoing?
Your own health insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare typically pays initial bills. Many accident victims use a medical lien—the provider agrees to wait for payment from your settlement. We help coordinate these liens and ensure you receive the full recovery you deserve.
