Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Accidents involving especially large vehicles such as tractor-trailers, semi trucks, garbage truck, delivery vans, and buses can be especially scary. People can suffer significant harm because of the sheer size of these vehicles.

The owners of commercial and vehicles are usually held to a higher standard of care than the owners and drivers of private passenger vehicles. There are rules with respect to the amount of rest a driver must have in between trips, rules related to the hiring of safe drivers and rules about the safe handling of cargo so its weight doesn’t shift causing a truck to lose control. We can help you to understand the legal rules involving accidents involving these types of vehicles.

The law that applies to public transportation accidents is different than the law which applies to accidents involving commercial vehicles and passenger cars. Over the years, we have protected clients who have suffered injuries due to the negligence of:

• Delivery Vans, Garbage Trucks and Dump Trucks
• 18 Wheelers, Tractor Trailers and Semi Trucks
• Corporate Vehicles
• Buses, Taxis  and Trains

We can handle your case on a “contingency fee” basis, which means that you do not pay a legal fee unless we obtain a settlement or a jury verdict.
