Commercial Vehicle Accident Lawyers Serving Austin, Texas

Commercial vehicles encompass a wide range of trucks, vans, buses, and other vehicles used for business purposes on Texas roads. When any of these vehicles is involved in a collision with a passenger car, motorcycle, or pedestrian, the results are often severe due to the significant size and weight difference. Victims of commercial vehicle accidents frequently face mounting medical expenses, extended time away from work, and a long and painful recovery process.

Determining liability in a commercial vehicle accident is often more complex than in a standard car crash. The vehicle's owner, the driver's employer, the maintenance company, and other parties may all share responsibility. Texas follows a modified comparative fault system, which means that even if you were partially at fault, you may still be entitled to compensation as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50 percent.

Commercial vehicle operators and their employers are held to a higher standard of care than regular motorists. They must comply with federal safety regulations, maintain proper licensing and insurance, and ensure their vehicles are regularly inspected and serviced. When they cut corners on any of these obligations, they put the public at serious risk.
