Throughout Colorado & Arizona

Why Trucking Cases Are Different

In 2024 alone, Colorado saw 1,800+ crashes involving large trucks. Dangerous corridors like I-70 and Highway 285 continue to see serious and fatal accidents. When companies cut corners on training or safety the consequences are amplified.

There is a hidden problem in some trucking company practices whereby they employ one of the following:

  • Use of “chameleon carriers” to avoid accountability. Defined, a chameleon carrier is a commercial trucking company that, after being fined, shut down, or placed out of service for safety violations, resurfaces under a new company name and Department of Transportation (DOT) number to continue operating.
  • Pressuring drivers with incentives to ignore safety rules and drive longer hours.
  • Putting drivers in impossible situations, making them victims of the system too.

People don’t know that trucking companies deploy rapid response teams immediately to protect themselves. Evidence can disappear quickly, so timing is critical for victims.

Early legal action helps preserve evidence, strengthens the case, and can lead to better outcomes.
