Commercial Vehicle Accidents

A commercial vehicle accident is one that is typically more serious and daunting than the typical vehicle to vehicle accident.  This is easily illustrated when thinking about the size of weight of a typical commercial vehicle.  If a commercial truck such as a dump truck was fully loaded, it will weigh more than twenty-five times as much as the typical vehicle. Due to the large weight disparity, this typically causes more damage and injuries to the other vehicles involved.  This also means that serious injury and death can impact you and your family.  Do you know what your rights are and what damages can be pursued in this situation?  Do you also know where the responsibility lies and who can be held liable for the negligence of the driver?  Therefore our team of lawyers is standing by to support you and your family through this difficult time.

Although there are statistics that support commercial drivers are generally more careful than their automobile counterparts, the commercial vehicle accidents still account for an extreme amount of fatalities and injuries.  These accidents can also result when the drive is not even at fault.  This is generally observed when there are unforeseen hazards such as road anomalies, other drivers negligence or conditions.  This along with many other factors exhibit why commercial vehicle accidents are vastly different than others.  Further proving this, here are a few issues that our team has had to investigate recently regarding commercial vehicle accidents:
