Truck Accident Attorneys in Wyoming
Truck accidents often result in some of the most serious accidents on the road, with the average semi-truck weighing about 20-30 times more than the average-sized car. With how massive trucks are, this leads to difficulties such as blind spots along all four sides of the trust, a harder time maneuvering, and more following space and distance necessary in order to bring such a big and heavy vehicle to a safe stop. According to the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), Wyoming is among the worst states for truck accidents, with one of the highest rates of per capita fatalities.
Truck accidents can cause far more serious injuries than auto accidents, due to the amount of weight and force and the size differentials involved. This results in higher fatality rates, higher risk for major injuries, and much greater damages to your vehicle. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, obtaining compensation can be a complex and difficult process. This is because trucking companies usually have investigators and their own attorneys on the site of the accident as soon as possible. Trucking companies and their insurance companies are for-profit businesses that will want to pay you as little as possible.
In order to obtain a fair settlement, you’ll need legal representation. LeBaron & Jensen has experienced lawyers with the resources to be able to fight for your deserved compensation and win. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, you’re entitled to pursue recovery for any damages caused through a fair settlement or a personal injury lawsuit. We understand how devastating truck accidents can be and how significantly they can impact your life. The sooner you have a truck accidents lawyer on your side, the more likely it is that you will be compensated for the damages caused.
What Damages Can Be Recovered After A Truck Accident
If you’ve been a victim to a truck accident, you can receive recovery for economic and non-economic damages. In civil court, the term “damages” refers to payments made for harms done.
Economic damages refer to any out-of-pocket expenses, such as medical expenses, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, and property damages.
Non-economic damages refer to compensation for impacts to your quality of life, such as: physical pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment in life from being unable to participate in activities due to injury, and loss of consortium, which refers to loss of physical intimacy and companionship from your spouse due to serious injury.
Wyoming truck accidents lawyers help you achieve damages for harm done by the accident. At LeBaron & Jensen, we care about helping you obtain a fair settlement and the damages you deserve so you can focus on your recovery and let us do the work.
Why Choose LeBaron & Jensen For Your Truck Accident Case?
Determining liability in a truck accident case is difficult due to how many potentially liable parties there are, which determines the sources of liability and insurance available to you to compensate you. There are several parties which can be held liable for a truck accident.
- The commercial truck driver must have special licensing and obey federal regulations, as well as the laws of the road, such as driving carefully and alert. Truck drivers can drive recklessly and carelessly, resulting in truck accidents.
- Trucking companies are required to vet their drivers, ensure they are trained properly, and maintain the trucks. If a truck driver causes a truck accident, the trucking company can be held legally responsible.
- Other drivers on the road can be careless or reckless and lead to truck accidents.
- If trucks aren’t regularly maintained and repaired, this can cause the parts to wear down, putting the truck at high risk of causing an accident.
- The manufacturers and distributors of the parts of the truck need to ensure the parts are safe, not defective, and work as designed.

I had a great experience with LeBaron & Jensen P.C. They kept in contact with me throughout the entire process, and were extremely informative and explained anything I didn’t understand about the proceedings of the case. I would highly recommend LeBaron & Jensen to anyone seeking Legal representation. I was driving westbound on Highway 193 in Clearfield Utah, when I came to the intersection of 1000 East and Highway 193. I noticed that a firetruck was travelling east towards the intersection with its emergency lights on, all traffic around me, including myself, slowed to a stop to allow the firetruck an unimpeded path to travel. However, I noticed the Jeep behind me wasn’t slowing down. There wasn’t anything I could do to avoid the collision, so I just braced for impact. Although I was wearing my seatbelt, I still suffered many injuries to my neck, shoulders, back, and arms. About a month after the accident I finally sought medical help for my injuries. I underwent many years of treatment for my accident-related injuries, including a carpel tunnel surgery and 2 rhyzotomy procedures, x-rays, MRIs causing me to incur over $60,000 in medical expenses. I decided I should seek legal help with my case, as I knew there was no way I could pay my medical expenses on my own. The legal team at LeBaron & Jensen were exceptional. They were able to negotiate with my health insurance and medical providers, lowering costs where they could. When all my legal and medical fees were paid, I was left with over $79,000. This money will help me pay for the future treatment that I will have to receive to try and help alleviate my future pain and suffering. I’m grateful for LeBaron & Jensen P.C. and everyone there who helped with my case! I thank them every day for the patience and persistence it took to see this through to a beneficial end.

LeBaron & Jensen did a great job for me, kept me informed throughout the process, and helped make sure that I got the compensation I needed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is suffering after an accident like mine. I was driving eastbound on Highway 193, a four-lane highway in Layton, Utah. I came to a stop at the two-way intersection of Highway 193 and North Hills Drive. The other driver failed to yield to my right-of-way and proceeded southbound through the intersection, I wasn’t able to stop fast enough, and I T-boned the other vehicle at a high speed. The impact of the crash was so severe that it triggered my vehicle’s airbags. The severity of the crash caused many serious and extensive injuries to my neck, back, shoulders, and head. Thankfully, I was restrained by my seatbelt, which prevented any worse injuries. I had to receive treatment for over a year and a half following the accident, including surgery on one of my shoulders. I was faced with $76,000 in medical bills. I knew I needed help, so I contacted LeBaron & Jensen P.C. Their attorneys worked diligently and negotiated with my insurance providers. After paying all my medical and legal fees, I was still able to pocket $51,000 to compensate for the pain, and suffering I endured because of the accident.

In January of 2014, my husband was involved in a terrible accident. He was driving on highway 89 in Wellsville, UT, when another driver ran a stop sign and pulled out in front of him. He tried to swerve out of the way, but he wasn’t able to avoid hitting the other vehicle. The resulting impact was so severe that even though he was wearing a seatbelt, he was violently thrown around in the cab of his truck and, as a result, hit his head on the windshield. This caused many injuries to his shoulders, back, and neck. My husband also suffered massive bruising and internal damage, and that’s not even the full extent of the injuries he suffered. He had to receive extensive treatments, including several shoulder surgeries, to try and help alleviate the pain he suffered because of the accident. Even after he underwent all those treatments he was still left in immense pain, and to top it all off, he was diagnosed with cancer in July of 2016. He decided to put off treatment for his shoulders to try and focus on his cancer treatments. He passed away in October of 2017. LeBaron & Jensen were there fighting for us through it all. They were able to get a settlement that covered all of Robert’s accident-related medical bills and all the required legal fees and additional money for his pain and suffering as a result of the accident. I’m so grateful for LeBaron & Jensen and all their support for myself and my husband through the years.
