COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ACCIDENT FAQs
If you have been in a commercial vehicle accident, you probably have a lot of good questions, like, “What will a lawsuit look like?” or “Do I really need a personal injury attorney near me?” Below we have answered a few of the more common questions, but remember, before you get online and search for an “injury lawyer near me,” the Zinda Law Group Corpus Christi accident lawyers are just a phone call away to answer any question or concern that you may have.
What Are Common Causes of Commercial Vehicle Accidents?
In 2020 Texas had a staggering 32,562 commercial vehicle accidents. Unfortunately, many of these accidents caused serious injuries or fatalities. This surprisingly large number begs the question: Why? Why are there so many commercial vehicle accidents?
Here are a few of the most common causes of commercial vehicle accidents. However, if the accident you were injured in was caused by something not on this list, don’t let that stop you from calling one of our Corpus Christi accident lawyers to assess your claim.
Defective or Malfunctioning Parts
Thousands of commercial vehicle accidents each year are caused by defective or malfunctioning parts. Because of the large size and massive weight of commercial vehicles, even the smallest defective part can have devastating consequences. Whether it is defective brakes, defective steering, or broken taillights, it is dangerous.
Driving Under the Influence
Most commercial vehicle drivers are employees whose employers pressure them to get to their destination as soon as possible. Because of this, it is common for truck drivers to resort to illegal stimulants in order to stay awake for longer. Unfortunately, it is very common for truck drivers to cause accidents because they are intoxicated and driving erratically.
Drowsy Driving
Even if the commercial vehicle drivers are not using stimulants to stay awake, they are still sometimes driving for longer periods of time than they should in order to get to their destination as quickly as they can. Drowsy driving is dangerous under any circumstance, but it is especially dangerous when it comes to commandeering large commercial vehicles. In fact, drowsy driving is considered to be just as dangerous as driving under the influence.
Driving Negligently or Aggressively
Whether it is because they are in a rush or are just impatient from having been on the road all day, it is common for commercial vehicle drivers to drive negligently or aggressively. This can mean they ran a red light or are speeding on the highway, or it can mean that they were following other cars too closely out of frustration.
Whatever the reason behind their negligent or aggressive driving, it is dangerous. Commercial vehicle drivers’ irresponsible decisions can have devastating consequences.
Inclement Weather
Most days, the weather in Corpus Christi is beautiful, but of course there are the days where the heavy rain and gusts of wind makes it difficult to drive. Whereas many drivers may wait for the weather to calm down, many commercial vehicle drivers do not.
When a commercial vehicle hydroplanes on the road, the consequences can be grave given its size and weight. Thus, inclement weather can be a common cause of commercial vehicle accidents in and around the Corpus Christi area.
Unfamiliar Roads
Most commercial vehicle drivers may wish they lived in Corpus Christi, but actually do not. It is very common for commercial vehicles to just pass through either on their way to another destination or after having made their stop in the city. Because of this, the city is a new environment to them. Whether it is a bridge that is lower than they expected, or a four way stop that they weren’t expecting, unfamiliar roads can cause commercial vehicles to get into accidents.
Negligent Hiring or Inadequate Training
Operating commercial vehicles takes a lot of skill, but unfortunately sometimes big companies hire under-experienced drivers for the job. Even if a company always hire drivers with commercial experience, many different types of commercial vehicles require different kinds of trainings.
When a company fails to properly train a particular driver, it can easily cause accidents. On occasion a company may even neglect to look into the driving record of an applicant and end up hiring someone with a history of speeding or DUI’s. This negligence and irresponsibility on part of the company can ultimately result in accidents.
Unstable or Too Heavy Loads
One of the reasons why commercial vehicles are so complicated to operate is that they most often are extremely heavy. Texas has state laws that dictate what weight distribution must look like, but sometimes drivers—either due to a lack of training or a lack of care—will ignore those requirements and continue to drive with an unstable load. An unstable or overly ambitious load can be very dangerous to other drivers on the road.
Again, these are just a few of the many causes of commercial vehicle accidents. If the cause of the accident that you were injured in is not listed above, don’t let that be the reason you don’t reach out to our Corpus Christi truck accident lawyers.
What Kinds of Injuries do Corpus Christi Truck Accidents Cause?
Unfortunately, injuries in vehicle accidents are very common, especially when a commercial vehicle is involved. In fact, in 2020 someone was injured from a traffic accident in Texas every two minutes and 34 seconds.
Commercial vehicle accidents can cause many different injuries ranging in severity. Some of the more common injuries are:
And many, many more. Whatever your injury was—whether it is on this list or not—you deserve to be compensated to the maximum, and that is exactly what the Corpus Christi injury lawyers at Zinda Law Group are motivated to help make happen.

Wrongful Death
Who Is Liable for My Injuries?
The answer to this question is complicated and illustrates one of the many reasons why hiring an experienced Corpus Christi injury attorney is in your best interest. A party is considered liable to you for your injuries when they breached a duty or obligation that they had by acting or failing to act. For example, the commercial vehicle driver has a duty to use reasonable care when driving, and when they fail to do so—for example, by driving while intoxicated—they are considered liable to you for the injuries you sustained when they crashed into you.
Parts Manufacturers
In some circumstances, there may be other parties liable in addition to the commercial vehicle driver. For example, the manufacturer of the truck or its parts may be liable if the defective part is what caused the accident. So, if the truck driver’s brakes malfunctioned, causing the accident in which you were involved, then you could sue the manufacturer of the brakes for compensation.
Trucking Company Employer
Another possible liable party is the driver’s employer. Texas law recognizes a doctrine called respondeat superior, which is Latin for “let the master answer.” This doctrine essentially says that so long as the driver was acting within the scope of their employment when the accident occurred, his or her employer can be liable for the resulting damages.
Big corporations usually argue against respondeat superior because they don’t want to have to pay for your injuries. Sometimes they may argue that the driver was not acting within the scope of his employment at the time of the crash, and other times they may argue that the driver was an independent contractor, not an employee.
As a plaintiff, it is very important to have a successful respondeat superior claim because the company is far more likely than the individual working driver to be able to pay you the amount of compensation you deserve. Thus, it is very important that you have a Corpus Christi injury attorney by your side to defeat these defenses by the employer and ensure that you get fully compensated.
I had the best experience with the Zinda law Group! Shivangi Was the the most professional and caring attorney anyone could ask for! She did everything in a timely matter and answered all the questions I could ever think of. Her paralegal, Danielle was always there for me throughout the entire process.

Thank you Michael and everyone that helped with my case, yall are the best!! My attorney was Christina , she and her team gave me the best outcome for my case .I am giving an honesty review at first I was very upset because I kept getting moved around and I never knew who I was talking to because they switch attorneys and kept changing my paralegals..

Joh Harper, Priyonka Bhikha, and the rest of the team gave my case a quick and satisfactory conclusion. The attorney, Mr. Harper did an absolutely amazing job keeping me on the same page as far as the case goes. Honestly, if anybody is hurt in a car wreck or another personal injury case, I WILL STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU SPEAK TO THEM. I was in a motor vehicle collision about two years ago. From the minute I picked up the phone to speak with a representative to the case finally settling, it was a great experience. I worked with Burgess Williams and his team (Kathy, Ryan, and Linda) throughout the process. They were all very professional and helpful when I needed them the most. Great Firm. I was in motorcycle accident- T-boned at a full stop with my daughter riding on back. Zinda's team was instantly responsive. Christina was very compassionate, organized and scheduled time before every legal event to discuss goals and overview. The process was 2 years but during that time the lawyers and staff (John and Shane were also great) were always available and understanding. The team is focused on doing what is right and by the book. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who is suffering from a motorcycle accident. Jason Aldridge and his paralegal Mara did an absolutely amazing job on my case. They were very responsive to all emails, calls and even texts. They treated me with dignity and respect from start to finish. I never once felt like my case was at the back of the list or anything. Not only did they explain and walked me through everything, they got me the help I needed and a final outcome over what I had expected. I would highly recommend this law firm, Jason and Mara to anyone seeking legal assistance. Highly Recommended-100% Satisfied!.From the initial phone call I felt confident I chose the right firm. They explained the process and I was always in the loop, even when we were at a stand still. Very grateful I was quickly referred to them by a friend who had a similar case. Both of us are happy with the end result. Thank you! My team of lawyer were very professional and communicated extremely clearly. They kept me updated on their status and did not make me worry at all about my situation. They explained everything to me very well and put things into simple terms for my understanding. I am very satisfied with their performance. I would recommend them to anyone that's been involved in an accident and feels skeptical in engaging an attorney.When one gets into an accident, you're traumatized, confused, angry and helpless.That was me last year, getting all kinds of advice becomes your next norm, to use or not to use an attorney.I was in so much pain from my injuries but at the same time knew I had to act fast.I called Zinda Law Group for consultation, they took my case seriously and treated me with respect, they were very professional and understanding.Elizabeth, kudos to you, you're true to your word, Integrity should be your last name.Jason Aldridge my attorney went to work immediately, he assured me that all be well and I should concentrate on my healing and he will do the rest. Thank your Sir, You did just that.His team, Mara, Zuleyma and Andrew, they all become my support system, so professional and lots of respect in each and everyphone call or email. Thank you guys.I would recommend anyone to use Zinda Law Group. I honestly loved not dealing with the hospital bills while I was recuperating. It gave me peace of mind going through this process and Zinda took care of everything. They found awesome health providers for me and haven't had to worry about anything while they've been taking my case. I've been well informed, communicated with, responded to and understood by Zinda. They have been efficient and effective while working on my case and I'm so glad I choose to go with this law firm. When I was injured in a car accident in March of 2020 the insurance companies were not concerned with my well being. I called Zinda Law group & spoke with Reagan, who went over my concerns & later had Jono contact me. After reviewing my information with Jono my case was immediately put in motion. I worked mainly with Sam Thomas who truly was a blessing to me, he was very supportive & genuinely concerned with my well being, everything wasn't simply about the case it was about me being healed & getting the proper treatment that I needed. Sam was also emotionally supportive when I went through several losses in my family & is a great friend. In all everyone was extremely supportive & all worked for me which was quite a different legal experience for me from Law groups in my past. I was well supported, always informed, treated with respect & made the priority in all decisions. Zinda Law Group made sure I was compensated completely & that I didn't have financial stresses over hospital bills after all was said & done. Sam, Katrina, Mary Catherine, Reagan & Jono I just want to thank you & all of Zinda for the incredible experience & the wonderful caring people that you all are, you are truly Golden in your field. I am so glad I got in touch with Zinda! My car accident occurred just 4 days prior to moving, during the busiest week of the year at my job, and just a week before the quarantine was declared a new reality for all of us. Everyone at Zinda remained persistent, supportive, and most of all advocated for me throughout such a chaotic time. I’ll always be grateful for the care they took to make sure my health and well-being were taken care of. So super grateful to know that a split second mistake someone else made doesn’t have to dictate my life. Thanks! My experience with Zinda Law Group was better than expected. After an accident that totalled my car, I reached out and was paired with a wonderful attorney. She communicated frequently and responded to my calls and texts in a timely manner. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions. I was kept in the loop during every step of the process. I would call Zinda Law if I ever need this type of support again. I had an excellent experience working with the attorneys at Zinda Law Group! They were knowledgeable, professional and patient. They walked me through every step of the long process of getting treatment after my car wreck and kept me updated with timeframes and next steps. I would absolutely recommend anyone working with them! I was referred here by a family member. Our lawyer jason and his team did and amazing job. They kept me updated in everything made sure I understood what was going on. My son was hit by a van in the hospital jason came right over. He's awesome so much down to earth straight forward. I would recommend him and his firm to everyone and I have thank you zinda but most of all thank you Jason for being there for us for being a friend Zinda Law Group was recommended to me from another satisfied client and I certainly received excellent service. The attorneys and staff are very proactive with communication and I knew every step of the way what was happening on my case. I never felt pressured with decision making and they went above & beyond to answer questions with satifactory explanations. This is a very professional group of attorneys & support staff. In addition, they were willing to meet me at a location more convenient for me. I appreciated their concern for my time. Could not speak highly enough of the firm. I was involved in my first accident and thankfully had Zinda Law Group supporting me through the scary time. Jono took care of me every step of the way. He made me feel like I was a priority through the entire process. A big thank you to Jono and the rest of the Zinda crew! ‹

Why Do I Need an Injury Lawyer Near Me?
In addition to experienced accident lawyers helping you plead and prove respondeat superior to recover against all the liable parties, personal injury lawyers are instrumental to your success in many other ways. For example, what kind of lawsuit your Corpus Christi accident lawyers bring will depend on what legal claims you have, which may not always be obvious from the start.
Sometimes you may have a negligence claim, other times you may have a strict products liability claim, and on occasion you may have both. A Corpus Christi truck accident lawyer near you can listen to your story, investigate the facts and determine what legal claims you have.
Bringing the proper legal cause of action is extremely important because if you don’t, your case can be dismissed. The type of compensation you receive is also dependent on the type of legal claim you bring, which is another reason why it is so important to have an experienced accident lawyer look into your case meticulously.
Additionally, a Corpus Christi injury attorney can take the most difficult and stressful task off your plate, that is, negotiate with insurance. Most cases are settled without having to ever step foot in a court room, but the only way to reach a settlement is to negotiate with the defendant’s insurance company (or companies) and stand your ground.
This is difficult if not possible to do well without an accident lawyer. Thus, if you want to best position yourself to be compensated to the maximum, you should retain a Corpus Christi injury lawyer near you.
OVERVIEW OF A CORPUS CHRISTI TRUCK ACCIDENT LAWSUIT
The idea of a potential lawsuit may seem overwhelming, especially after everything you have already gone through, but at Zinda Law Group we promise to walk you through every step of the process. Although every case is different, the typical legal process will look something like this:
1. First, you will have your 100% free case consultation. At this consultation you will meet with one of our Corpus Christi truck accident lawyers to talk about your experience. Our lawyers will listen to your story and assess your claim.
If our accident lawyers believe that you have a viable claim, they will take on your case without needing any fee up front. In fact, you only have to pay your Corpus Christi injury lawyer if they succeed in getting you the compensation you deserve. That is our No Win, No Fee Guarantee.
2. Second, our accident lawyers will investigate your case. Our accident lawyers have access to great investigative techniques that are extremely helpful in this process. For example, our investigators use technology to recreate accident scenes to best illustrate to the judge or jury that you were not at fault for the accident.
In addition to using technology, our attorneys during this stage will also gather all of the paperwork and evidence necessary. They may ask you for documents such as medical bills or pictures you took, and they may even reach out to witnesses from the scene to get their testimony. This process allows your accident lawyer to evaluate how strong of a case you have prior to getting deep into negotiations with the opposing counsel.
3. Next, your Corpus Christi injury attorney can negotiate with the lawyers for the defendant’s insurance company. Insurance companies sometimes want to fight these cases tooth and nail, which is why it is so important to have an experienced negotiator on your side. The attorneys at Zinda Law Group have successfully negotiated large settlement agreements for countless clients in your position and are confident they can do the same for you.
4. If negotiations aren’t successful, your Corpus Christi commercial vehicle accident lawyers can take the insurance company to court. Our attorneys aren’t afraid to litigate and fight for your case in court.
If it is necessary, we will prepare for trial by litigating pre-trial motions, creating our trial strategy, and building the best case presentation to show the jury why you are deserving of the compensation we are requesting. Winning personal injury lawsuits may not be easy, but our Zinda Law Group attorneys in this, our Sparkling City by the Sea, are ready for the challenge and have the tools necessary to make it happen.
This is just a short overview of what your process may look like, but keep in mind every case is different. It may feel like a lot to take on, but your Corpus Christi injury lawyer is there to take on the burdens for you and make it as efficient a process as possible. Your lawyer will also walk you through the process and answer any questions you have along the way.
