Why You Need a Dallas Injury Lawyer for Your Company Vehicle Accident Claim
You may think your company vehicle accident is just another car crash; however, there are a number of differences making crashes with company and commercial vehicles more complex and more difficult to recover compensation from.
The first thing to consider is who is responsible for your injuries. There are a number of laws and regulations that apply to drivers of commercial vehicles as well as their employers. When these laws are broken and a crash occurs, both the driver and the employer can be held liable. A lawyer will help you navigate this process as well as help you secure the full compensation you deserve.
You also need to consider the company you are seeking compensation from. They do not want to pay you fair compensation. Their attorneys will work to protect the company’s bottom line and limit its liability for your injuries and damage. You deserve to have an attorney working for your best interest.
Finally, a Dallas company vehicle accident lawyer can help your case by bringing in expert witnesses. An expert witness is a person with specialized knowledge or expertise in a field. They can help determine how your accident occurred as well as demonstrate the full cost of your injuries and damages.
What Qualifies as a Company Vehicle?
Company vehicles can come in all shapes and sizes. Typically, in Texas, we think of company vehicles as 18-wheelers and work trucks, but the truth is that a company vehicle may also be a bus, van, or even a passenger sedan.
Vehicles we see often involved in company vehicle accidents include:
- Cars
- Pickups
- SUVs
- Vans
- Semi-trucks
- Dump trucks
- Transporters
- Refrigerated trucks
- Ambulances
- City buses
- School buses
- Uber and Lyft vehicles
When Can a Company Be Held Liable for an Accident?
Companies owe some responsibility for the actions of employees or agents of the company while in the course and scope of their job.
When an accident occurs, an employer may be held liable for:
- Negligent hiring practices, including failure to verify proper licensing or certification
- Negligent supervision of an employee
- Failure to properly train an employee
- Failure to maintain the vehicle involved in a crash
