The Importance of Knowing the Difference

 

So what makes a commercial accident case different from a regular car accident? There are a few important factors to understand.

 

When a commercial company has vehicles on the road, especially companies with large fleets of trucks or cars, they have very specific procedures in place for how they will respond when one of their vehicles is involved in an accident. These companies are always prepared for these situations. They have people whose entire job is to protect the company after an accident happens.

 

Whether it’s a car accident, defective product, or serious injury, Matthew T. McLain brings the skill and compassion you need. Reach out today to discuss your case.

 

Why Quick Action Matters

 

If you are involved in a commercial accident, you need someone who will look out for your best interests from the very beginning. That includes hiring experienced personal injury attorneys, like the team at Turner Monahan, who have the resources to act quickly and effectively.

 

Our team knows how to get the right experts on scene right away. This can involve downloading data from vehicles, gathering GPS information, and collecting camera footage or audio and video recordings of the drivers. Many commercial fleets are equipped with tracking systems, and all of this information can be used to build a strong case for our clients.

 

The Role of an Experienced Attorney

 

To handle this properly, you need an attorney who knows which experts should be involved, when they need to act, and what steps must be taken immediately. It is also important to know who needs to be notified and how to secure evidence before it disappears.

 

On the commercial company’s side, they will have people working from the start to protect their own interests. Whether it’s a truck accident, car accident, or any other type of commercial vehicle accident, they will have teams focused on limiting their responsibility and protecting their business.

 

Protecting Your Rights and Recovery

 

That is why you need a legal team that is equally committed to protecting you. At Turner Monahan, we focus on getting you the results you deserve. Our goal is to make sure you receive the recovery you need for any injuries you may have suffered.

 

When the other side has resources and experience on their team, you need someone just as dedicated and prepared to fight for you. Acting quickly and having the right team on your side can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.

Insurance Challenges in Commercial Accidents

 

One major issue in commercial accident cases is dealing with insurance companies. Commercial policies are often much larger than regular auto policies, which means the insurance company will fight harder to avoid paying a full settlement. They may bring in experienced adjusters and legal teams to minimize the amount you receive. Having someone on your side who understands these tactics is key to making sure you are treated fairly. 

 

Evidence That Can Make or Break a Case

 

Evidence plays a big role in commercial accident cases. Beyond photos and witness statements, there may be black box data, driver logs, maintenance records, and company safety policies that need to be reviewed. If this evidence is not requested and preserved quickly, it can be lost or even destroyed. A lawyer who knows how to access and protect this information can greatly strengthen your case.

 

Determining Liability When Multiple Parties Are Involved

 

In many commercial accidents, more than one party may be at fault. For example, the driver could be responsible for reckless driving, while the company might be at fault for poor training or unsafe policies. 

 

Sometimes, even third-party contractors, like maintenance providers or equipment manufacturers, can share responsibility. Identifying every liable party is important to ensure you receive full compensation for your injuries and losses.
