Car Accidents in Texas
Vehicle accidents are a daily reality on Texas roads, with thousands of injuries reported each year. Data from the Texas Department of Transportation shows that in 2023, there was a reportable crash every 57 seconds in the state. With a high number of fleet and commercial vehicles on the road, accidents involving these types of cars can be especially complicated.
Here are some reasons why commercial vehicle accidents can lead to more complex legal and medical outcomes:
- Corporate Involvement: When a fleet or company-owned vehicle is involved, the legal process often includes business representatives, insurance companies, and legal teams, making claims more difficult to resolve quickly.
- Increased Insurance Coverage: Commercial vehicles typically carry larger insurance policies. While that can be beneficial for victims, it can also result in more aggressive defense strategies to reduce payouts.
- Vehicle Size and Impact: Many fleet vehicles, such as delivery vans or utility trucks, are heavier than personal cars. This increases the risk of serious injuries in a crash.
- Employment Factors: Determining liability can involve reviewing employee schedules, training records, or maintenance logs to see if the company was negligent in how the vehicle or driver was managed.
- Multiple Victims or Claims: These accidents often occur in busy commercial areas or during deliveries, meaning more than one person can be hurt, further complicating legal claims.
If you were hurt in a crash involving a commercial or fleet vehicle, it’s important to contact a Tyler car accident attorney right away.
