Why You Should Call a Commercial Vehicle Accident Lawyer Serving Sugar Land
If you suffered significant injuries, or if you lost a loved one because of the accident, you are probably not feeling up to the daunting task of dealing with the other party’s insurance adjuster. As the injured party, or plaintiff, it is up to you to prove that the other party is responsible for your injuries and damages.
A commercial vehicle accident lawyer has a deep understanding of Texas liability and negligence laws. He or she can take care of the many details required in seeking financial recovery, including:
- Reviewing accident and police reports
- Talking to witnesses or verifying their statements
- Gathering physical evidence and photos from the accident scene
- Talking to your doctor about the extent and severity of your injuries
- Assessing the scope of your losses, including emotional damages
There is no cost or obligation to get a case evaluation.
There Are Many Types of Commercial Vehicles
Although many people think that the term “commercial vehicle” applies only to large trucks, a commercial vehicle is any type of wheeled transportation that is used for commercial or business uses. These include:
- Trucks
- 18-wheeler and semi-trucks
- Vans
- Motorcoaches
- Town cars
- Company vehicles
- Tow trucks
- Construction vehicles (forklifts, cranes, etc.)
- Commercial agricultural vehicles
People who own and operate these vehicles must have special training and licenses. A lawyer with D. Miller & Associates, PLLC can find out if the driver completed this training and holds a current license to operate the vehicle.
