Overview

A crash with a commercial truck — a delivery van, box truck, dump truck, or company work vehicle — often means dealing with a business’s insurance company instead of an individual. We step in immediately to make sure a company’s size doesn’t decide what your claim is worth.

Why This Practice Area Matters

Commercial vehicle crashes often involve a company’s vicarious liability for its driver’s actions, plus questions about vehicle maintenance and driver training. We investigate the company, not just the driver, to find every source of compensation.

Common Causes

  • Distracted or Fatigued Driving
  • Poor Vehicle Maintenance
  • Improper Cargo Loading
  • Speeding on Delivery Routes
  • Inadequate Driver Training
  • Unsafe Backing or Turning
  • Failure to Yield

Compensation You May Recover

  • Medical Expenses
  • Lost Wages
  • Pain and Suffering
  • Property Damage
  • Future Medical Care
  • Loss of Earning Capacity

Case Guide

Commercial vehicle cases require identifying every party who may share liability — the driver, the company, and sometimes a leasing or maintenance provider. We build that picture early, before the company's insurer controls the narrative.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is responsible when a company vehicle causes an accident?

The driver and the company that employs them can both be responsible, especially if the driver was working at the time of the crash or the company was negligent in training or maintenance.

What if I was hit by a delivery driver rushing to finish their route?

That can support a negligence claim against both the driver and the company, especially if the company's policies pressured drivers to speed or skip breaks.

How long do I have to file a claim in Georgia?

Generally 2 years from the date of the accident under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, though claims involving government vehicles can have shorter notice requirements.
