Commercial vehicle accidents involving delivery trucks, work vans, company cars, and service vehicles often result in more severe injuries and complex legal battles than typical passenger vehicle collisions. These vehicles are frequently larger and heavier than standard cars, and the corporate entities behind them have significant resources to fight injury claims and minimize their liability.
Common causes of commercial vehicle accidents include inadequate driver training, pressure to meet delivery deadlines, poor vehicle maintenance to cut costs, driver fatigue from extended work hours, and hiring practices that fail to screen for safe driving records. Companies may prioritize profits over safety, putting everyone on the road at risk.
Determining liability in commercial vehicle accidents often involves multiple parties including the driver, the employer, vehicle maintenance companies, cargo loaders, and manufacturers. Commercial policies typically provide higher insurance coverage limits, which means greater potential compensation for victims, but also more aggressive defense tactics from corporate legal teams.
