What Makes Commercial Vehicle Accidents So Complicated?

Unlike standard passenger car crashes, commercial vehicle accidents involve businesses, corporate insurers, fleet maintenance companies, and commercial drivers, who are subject to different liability rules. That means more defendants, more insurance layers, and more finger-pointing. Our seasoned commercial vehicle accident attorneys know how to cut through the confusion. We immediately launch a thorough investigation, preserve critical evidence like logbooks and maintenance records, and work with reconstruction experts to prove liability. We’re not afraid of big companies or aggressive insurers. In fact, many of our commercial vehicle injury attorneys have worked on the defense side and know exactly how to beat them.

Common Causes of Commercial Vehicle Accidents

In Palm Beach Gardens and throughout Florida, we’ve seen commercial crashes caused by:

  • Distracted or fatigued drivers
  • Improperly loaded or overloaded vehicles
  • Speeding or aggressive driving
  • Failure to follow safety protocols
  • Inadequate driver training
  • Poor vehicle maintenance

These types of negligence can turn a routine workday into a devastating collision in seconds. Commercial vehicles are often heavier, more powerful, and less maneuverable than standard passenger cars, which increases the risk of catastrophic outcomes. Whether your injuries were caused by a negligent delivery driver or a malfunctioning service truck, a commercial vehicle injury attorney from our firm will hold the responsible parties accountable and pursue full compensation on your behalf.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Every case is different, but we fight for full and fair compensation that may include:

  • Medical expenses and future treatment
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Disability and long-term care needs
  • Property damage and out-of-pocket costs

We work with life care planners, economists, and medical professionals to build a strong, evidence-backed case that reflects your actual losses, not just the surface-level damages insurers like to acknowledge. Our commercial vehicle accident lawyers ensure that your compensation not only covers past and present expenses and suffering but also any future needs.

Commercial Vehicle Accidents Frequently Asked Questions

Who is liable in a commercial vehicle accident?

Liability may fall on multiple parties, including the driver, their employer, a third-party maintenance provider, or even the vehicle manufacturer. Our commercial vehicle accident lawyers investigate every angle to identify all responsible parties.

Should I speak with the company’s insurance adjuster?

No. These adjusters are trained to minimize payouts and may try to get you to say something that can hurt your claim. Always speak with a qualified commercial vehicle injury lawyer first.

What if I were partially at fault?

Florida’s modified comparative negligence system allows you to recover damages as long as you’re not more than 50% at fault. Your recovery may be reduced, but you may still have a valid claim. Let our commercial vehicle accident attorney evaluate your specific situation to maximize your compensation.

How long do I have to file a claim?

In Florida, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is typically two years from the date of the accident. However, waiting can jeopardize evidence, so don’t delay. If you fail to file a personal injury claim within this time limit, you will likely be barred from any recovery.

Do you charge for consultations?

No. We offer free consultations, and with our contingency fees, you won’t pay anything unless we win your case.
