Dallas Commercial Vehicle Accident Attorney

What Should I Do If I Was In A Commercial Vehicle Accident?

If you have been in an accident with a commercial vehicle, the next steps can be more complex than an accident involving passenger vehicles only. Since a commercial entity may own the vehicle, the company can be held liable as well, increasing the amount of possible compensation but also the complexity. Often, commercial vehicles will be larger and heavier than passenger vehicles, and can inflict catastrophic or even fatal injuries in a collision. Victims of commercial vehicle accidents, like other motor vehicle accidents, may be entitled to compensation for hospital and doctor bills, lost wages and benefits from time missed at work, and pain and suffering.

At Jerry D. Andrews, P.C., we have the experience and resources needed to investigate your accident and seek compensation from the liable party or parties. If you are a professional commercial driver who was injured while driving for work, we will represent you as well.
