The Complex Nature of Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Commercial vehicle accidents involve trucks, buses, delivery vans, and other large vehicles used for business purposes. These accidents can result in significant damage and severe injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. The complexity of these cases arises from the involvement of multiple parties, including the driver, the vehicle owner, and the company that employs the driver. Each of these parties may bear some responsibility for the accident, necessitating a thorough and detailed investigation.

At Blevins & Hong, P.C., we understand the unique challenges posed by commercial vehicle accidents. Our attorneys have the expertise and resources to navigate the intricacies of these cases, from determining liability to negotiating with insurance companies and litigating in court if necessary.

Common Causes of Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Commercial vehicle accidents can occur for various reasons, often involving negligence or violation of safety regulations. Some common causes include:

• Driver fatigue: Commercial drivers often work long hours, leading to fatigue that can impair their ability to operate the vehicle safely.
• Improper maintenance: Commercial vehicles require regular maintenance to ensure they are safe to operate. Failure to maintain these vehicles properly can lead to mechanical failures and accidents.
• Overloading: Overloaded vehicles can be difficult to control and are more likely to be involved in accidents.
• Distracted driving: Like all drivers, commercial vehicle operators can be distracted by cell phones, GPS devices, and other distractions.
• Speeding: Commercial drivers under tight deadlines may exceed speed limits, increasing the risk of accidents.

Our attorneys meticulously investigate the circumstances surrounding each accident to identify the specific causes and responsible parties. This thorough approach enables us to build a strong case on behalf of our clients.

Injuries Resulting from Commercial Vehicle Accidents

The sheer size and weight of commercial vehicles mean that accidents involving these vehicles often result in severe injuries. Common injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI): These injuries can have long-term effects on cognitive and physical functions.
• Spinal cord injuries: Damage to the spinal cord can result in partial or complete paralysis.
• Broken bones and fractures: The force of a collision with a commercial vehicle can cause multiple fractures, requiring extensive medical treatment.
• Internal injuries: The impact of an accident can damage internal organs, necessitating emergency medical intervention.
• Burns and lacerations: Accidents involving commercial vehicles can result in fires and other hazards, leading to serious burns and cuts.

Our legal team understands the profound impact these injuries can have on victims and their families. We are dedicated to securing compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages to help our clients rebuild their lives.

• Lost wages: Compensation for income lost due to the inability to work during recovery.
• Pain and suffering: Damages for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life resulting from the accident.
