Accidents involving commercial vehicles often result in far more serious injuries than typical passenger vehicle collisions. Whether the crash involved a delivery van, utility truck, company vehicle, construction truck, or other commercial fleet vehicle, victims are frequently left facing extensive medical treatment, lost income, and an uncertain future. If you were injured in a commercial vehicle accident caused by another party’s negligence in San Marcos or Hays County, you may have the right to pursue significant financial compensation.
At Sergi & Associates, P.C., we represent individuals who have suffered serious injuries in commercial vehicle accidents throughout Central Texas. Our attorneys understand the unique legal and insurance issues these cases present and work aggressively to hold negligent drivers, employers, and commercial insurance carriers accountable.
Common Causes of Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Businesses have a responsibility to properly hire, train, supervise, and maintain drivers and vehicles. When companies place profits ahead of safety, preventable accidents can occur.
Commercial vehicle crashes commonly result from:
- Distracted or fatigued driving
- Speeding or aggressive driving
- Improper vehicle maintenance
- Overloaded or unsecured cargo
- Inadequate driver training
- Failure to obey traffic laws
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Negligent hiring or supervision by the employer
Because commercial vehicles are often larger and heavier than passenger cars, these collisions can cause catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, internal injuries, and permanent disabilities.
The Advantage of Having a Nurse Paralegal on Your Legal Team
