If you’ve been in a crash with a company vehicle, you may notice the process feels very different from a typical car accident claim. There’s a reason for that: commercial claims involve more players, more insurance policies, and more legal challenges.
Multiple Defendants
A single commercial accident can involve the driver, the employer, a leasing company, a maintenance provider, and more. Each may point fingers at the others to avoid paying.
Corporate Insurance Policies
Commercial insurance policies often carry higher limits—but that doesn’t mean the insurer will pay easily. Expect aggressive defense strategies designed to minimize payouts.
Extensive Evidence
Commercial vehicles may have electronic logging devices (ELDs), GPS data, or on-board cameras. These can reveal speeding, hours worked, or distraction—but companies sometimes delay or resist sharing this evidence.
Federal and State Regulations
Commercial carriers must follow strict safety rules. Violating these can help establish negligence, but proving it often requires detailed records, logbooks, and expert analysis.
Serious Injuries and Higher Stakes
Because of their size and weight, commercial vehicles cause more severe injuries—and higher financial losses. These cases often require expert witnesses, medical evaluations, and structured settlements.
