Wrongful death cases involving a loose truck wheel are complex and involve a great deal of investigation and expense. With these cases, we immediately launch our own truck accident investigation:

Our attorneys hire engineering specialists to test the lug nuts, studs and bolts to determine if they meet manufacturing specifications and to verify they are the correct parts.
Our attorneys check maintenance records looking for any lapse in maintenance, reference to difficulty changing a tire, tightening specs, etc.
As soon after the accident as possible, our attorneys inspect the semi truck and the wheel that came off. They look for evidence of negligence and clues as to what exactly happened. Any evidence of tampering or wear on the parts that failed? Was there a defect of design that contributed to the accident?
Our attorneys and hire experts will also inspect the car, van, motorcycle or bicycle that was hit by the semi truck or truck wheel.
Our accident attorneys require the trucking company, and all parties responsible, to hand over all relevant documents. We will study them looking for evidence of regulation violations, including driving too many hours, inadequate drug testing, etc. If the driver was fatigued, was the steering wheel jerked, causing the load to shift, putting undue stress on the bolts of the wheel that came off? We also look at corporate relationships to determine what companies can be sued.
Our attorneys interview witnesses, trucking company employees and others in the presence of a court reporter (called a deposition). The resulting transcript can be used as evidence at trial. Depositions are important evidence and may reveal more evidence.

Many of our clients say that the money is secondary. They want to hold all responsible parties accountable for the injuries and / or deaths. We have extensive ligation experience, including Colorado accident cases. We have the experience and expertise to take your case to trial if necessary. Call us for a free consultation.
