T. Thomas Metier — Board Certified Truck Accident Lawyer

T. Thomas Metier is the firm’s Founding Partner and one of a select few attorneys in the country who holds triple board certification from the National Board of Trial Advocacy — in Truck Accident Law, Civil Trial Law, and Civil Practice Advocacy. A graduate of Coe College (B.A., cum laude, 1977) and the University of Iowa College of Law (J.D., 1981), Metier went so far as to complete commercial truck driver training through The Legacy Corporation in 2018 to deepen his understanding of the trucking industry from the inside. He served as President of the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys from 2019 to 2020 and remains on its Board of Regents. He is also a Senior Faculty Member at the Trial Lawyers College, a position he has held since 1995.

Over his career spanning more than 40 years, Metier has secured landmark results for truck accident victims, including an $11 million verdict for a spinal injury caused by a trucking collision, a $13 million truck accident settlement in Wyoming, and a $52 million verdict in a rollover crash case. His accolades include the Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent rating, designation as a Super Lawyer every year since 2006, inclusion in Best Lawyers in America since 2006, the “Lawyer of the Year” honor for Personal Injury Litigation — Plaintiffs in 2019, and the Kenneth Norman Kripke Lifetime Achievement Award. He is a Life Member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum and has been named to the Nation’s Top One Percent by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel.

Truck accident cases require attorneys who understand federal motor carrier safety regulations, electronic logging device data, driver qualification files, and the corporate structures that trucking companies use to shield assets. Metier Law Firm’s team of Colorado truck accident attorneys brings decades of specialized experience to these complex cases. From preserving critical evidence in the hours after a crash to retaining accident reconstruction experts and industry consultants, the firm’s approach is built for trial from day one — which is precisely why insurance companies take their demands seriously.

For families across Colorado and the surrounding states who have been affected by a negligent trucking company or driver, Metier Law Firm offers free consultations on a contingency-fee basis. The firm’s guiding promise of “Comfort, Safety and Strength” is not a slogan — it is a standard that T. Thomas Metier and his partners have upheld for nearly 40 years of fighting on behalf of working people and their families.

Testimonial

What Clients Say About
Metier Law Firm

Working with Patrick and Kris took alot of stress off me and my family after a motorcycle accident on Million Dollar Highway in Colorado. They were always professional and truly cared about my best interests and supported me in recovering a substantial financial loss. Never once in my life did I have a good thing to say about a lawyer till now. These guys were awesome and I would recommend them to others as well as retain their services again in the future. I hope that doesn’t happen, but if it did I know who I’m calling. Thanks again for all you do.
