Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Because of their size and weight, commercial vehicle crashes often cause catastrophic injuries. Survivors may face long recoveries, multiple surgeries, and lasting physical or emotional trauma.

Common injuries include:

• Broken or fractured bones
• Spinal cord injuries, including paralysis
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Severed limbs and crush injuries
• Impalement or penetration wounds
• Fatal injuries

Recovery can take months—or years—and medical costs often climb into the hundreds of thousands. Even with insurance, out-of-pocket expenses can overwhelm families

That’s why having an experienced commercial vehicle accident lawyer matters. Your attorney can help you fight for fair compensation, including:

• Current and future medical expenses
• Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
• Pain, suffering, and mental anguish
• Physical impairment or disfigurement

Every case is unique, and your lawyer will determine who’s at fault and which parties should be held accountable.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Commercial Vehicle Accident?

Unlike standard car crashes, commercial vehicle accidents often involve multiple liable parties. Beyond the driver, their employer or parent company may also be responsible for:

• Negligent hiring or supervision
• Inadequate driver training
• Poor vehicle maintenance
• Failure to enforce safety protocols

Recent Texas legislation (House Bill 19) has made these cases more complex. Under this law, a commercial driver must first be proven liable before their employer can be sued. This two-phase process can delay justice and make recovery harder for victims—but a skilled attorney can help navigate it effectively.
