Attorney for Commercial Vehicle Accident Victims in New York
Our firm has extensive experience handling commercial vehicle accidents involving:
- Buses
- Tractor-trailers
- Moving trucks
- Semi-trucks
- Box trailers
- Construction trucks
- Company cars
- Tow trucks
- Rideshare services
- Amazon trucks
- Commercial delivery vehicles
Commercial vehicle companies typically carry insurance. However, insurance companies have an unfair advantage over injury victims and often attempt to deny valid claims. We know how to level the playing field and will demand full payment of your claim. If the insurer fails to make a fair settlement offer, we will take them to court.
Common Causes of Commercial Vehicle Accidents
While no two commercial vehicle accidents are the same, common causes include:
- Distracted driving
- Driver fatigue
- Aggressive driving
- Driving under the influence
- Speeding
- Insufficient driver training
- Reckless driving
- Improper loading
- Inadequate maintenance
- Poor weather and road conditions
No matter the cause, our experienced commercial vehicle accident attorney will identify the responsible party, hold them accountable, and fight tirelessly for the maximum compensation you deserve. You can trust us to be in your corner, advocating for your rights.
Determining Liability in Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Depending on the circumstances, multiple parties may share responsibility for a commercial vehicle accident, including:
- The commercial vehicle driver
- The driver’s employer
- The vehicle’s owner or lessor
- The entity responsible for vehicle maintenance
- The vehicle or part manufacturer
Suppose a speeding driver causes an accident resulting in personal injuries. Liability may extend to the driver, employer, and the vehicle owner. On the other hand, the commercial vehicle owner may be liable when an accident results from inadequate maintenance. You can depend on our legal team to leave no stone unturned, uncover all the facts, advocate for your rights, and get you just compensation.
What Makes Rideshare Accidents Different?
In an Uber or Lyft accident, insurance coverage depends on the driver’s status when the accident occurred. Moreover, rideshare accident claims often involve the driver, the rideshare company, other motorists, and their insurance companies. These complexities can make it difficult to navigate the legal process alone. You need an experienced attorney to sort through the details of commercial vehicle accidents involving rideshare drivers and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
