COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ACCIDENT vs. other CAR ACCIDENTS
Company or commercial vehicle accidents differ from road accidents between private individuals operating their own cars in a few important ways. Company vehicle accidents usually involve a larger commercial vehicle, such as a semi-truck, colliding with an average-sized consumer car. This results in more severe injuries and vehicle damage than an accident between two consumer cars.
Company Vehicle Claim Complications
Trying to receive compensation for a claim stemming from a commercial vehicle accident tends to be more difficult. The company that owns the vehicle will fight hard to ensure they will not have to compensate you for your claim. Making matters worse, usually there are multiple parties and insurance companies involved, and their lawyers will work hard to shift the blame off their clients to avoid paying damages.
The company’s own insurance company may not cover the costs associated with the accident, which means the company becomes responsible for paying out-of-pocket for your damages. You can be certain that the company will fight hard to ensure that it will not have to pay you.
It can be intimidating to take on these companies alone. Rest assured, experienced commercial vehicle wreck attorneys in Dallas, TX, are able to help you receive the maximum compensation you are entitled to, whether it is through insurance or having the company pay you itself.
WHAT IS A COMPANY VEHICLE?
A company vehicle is a car, van, truck, or bus that is owned and operated by a company; it is a motor vehicle driven by employees or agents of the company. These vehicles can be used to carry out an employee’s responsibilities, haul goods, transport passengers, move work tools and materials, or as employee transportation.
Examples of company vehicles in Texas include:
- Construction vehicles
- Corporate cars or fleet vehicles
- Garbage trucks
- Ice cream trucks
- Utility company trucks
- Delivery vans or mail carriers (FedEx, USPS)
- Passenger buses, cars, or vans
- Limousines
- Hearses
- Big rigs, semi-trucks, or 18-wheelers
- School buses
- Car-carrier trucks
- Taxicabs or rideshare vehicles (Uber, Lyft)
- Moving trucks or vans

WHAT TO DO AFTER A COMPANY VEHICLE ACCIDENT?
What you do in the aftermath of a company vehicle collision is nearly identical to what you do after any other kind of car accident, with a few additional steps. Like other road accidents, what you do immediately after a company car accident directly impacts the amount you may be entitled to recover on your claim. Follow these steps immediately after a truck accident to not only protect yourself in the short term, but also to increase the possibility of success on your claim.
Seek Medical Attention
Immediately after the accident, assess your injuries. Once you have thoroughly assessed yourself, check on the passengers in your vehicle, if any. If anyone is severely injured call emergency medical services right away.
If you are not treated on the scene, see a doctor as soon as possible. Get your injuries evaluated even if you believe that your injuries are minor or even if you believe you are uninjured. It is possible that you could have latent injuries that you are unaware of at the time of the accident, and these injuries can have severe and long-lasting consequences.
After your hospital or medical office visit, make sure to request documentation of your injuries and treatment from your doctor. These records will help your Dallas company vehicle accident lawyer determine the value of your claim.
Call the Police
Call the police immediately after assessing your injuries. The police should be called regardless of whether an injury is severe or minor; if the injuries are severe, a 911 operator will send emergency services to the scene as well. The police will arrive on the scene to investigate the accident; they will file an accident report after their assessment, so be sure to get a copy of the police report as this will help determine fault.
Assess the Property Damage and Document the Scene
After checking for injuries and calling the police, assess the damage to your car. If your car is still operational and its current position is hazardous to other drivers on the road, move your car to the side of the road. Take pictures of the damage to your car.
Next, take pictures of the other party’s vehicle. Be sure to include photos of any company logos, if any, on the vehicle. Take pictures of the location of the accident, including the road conditions and any intersections nearby.
Speak with Witnesses
Anyone who has witnessed the accident will have valuable information that can help determine who is at fault for the accident. Therefore, take witness statements at the scene if possible, or have the witness give a statement to the police. Get the witness’s contact information as well in case you need to get a statement or more information from them later.
Exchange Information
Get the contact and insurance information of anyone involved in the accident while you are at the scene. Without this information, it will be harder to track down other involved parties after the accident and make recovery for a claim more difficult. Be sure to get the name of the company that employs the other driver, and if possible, the company’s insurance information, as this will be important for your claim.
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. She worked around my schedule and was very consistent about helping me in any way she could. If I could give this team 6 stars I would!! I highly recommend to anyone looking for the best team! I had the privilege of working with Zinda Law Group recently and was thoroughly impressed with the level of service and support they provided. When we began, I had reservations about the likelihood of reaching a settlement, but the team's professionalism, intelligence, and dedication quickly put those doubts to rest. They went above and beyond to ensure that I was informed and comfortable throughout the process, and their hard work and strong advocacy ultimately led to a successful outcome. I cannot thank Zinda Law Group and their staff enough for their exceptional service and support, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance.

My aunt got hit by a driver while crossing the street and killed. I went after the guys insurance; although, this doesn't bring back my aunt, but allows for this not to happen to other people like this in her case. These attorneys worked very hard and efficiently to bring the justice that they saw fit. When I had a question they explained in terms I understood and not above and beyond me. I appreciate it when people can come down to my level and not intimidate and use trepidation on someone in feeling like they are the fly while they're the spider waiting for the right moment for the fly to walk into its web.Neil and Shivangi always whenever they called asked me how I was at the beginning of our conversations and is there anything I needed at the end of each call. Each call they made to me, was made very professional, personable and felt heart felt as if you were part of the family.

I would like to recognize a fantastic attorney named Joe Caputo from Zinda Law Group.

They went above and beyond keeping up with my health, bills, insurance companies, all that fun stuff I had no time for. After what felt like such a short amount of time, they were able to win every last penny from the "bad guys" insurance (loved that term). I couldn't happier, and even though I went through something traumatic, it was still the best experience I could have ever asked for. 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.. I was going to go with another law firm but Christina helped me with my case from then on out and she worked around my schedule to talk to me which I appreciate. Also my last law firm took 30 percent, and this one took 33 percent which I wasn’t to happy so just a heads up. Overall I rate this 4 stars cause I’m just happy the case is over with and I get to go back to my life.Update: I just received another call from my attorney and they have worked to negotiate my case with the billing and have put more money in my pocket. All the money that I had spent while working on the case has came back to me. I can fully move on and say that I have gain every penny that was lose during those hard times. I’m so happy and thankful to Zinda law group!!!!!! Zinda Law Group did an excellent job with my case. The staff was super friendly and super effective as far as communicating with me throughout the entire case. I highly recommend Zinda Law Group for your next case and for any of your future cases. 5 Stars across the board thank you so much for everything! 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! ‹

Contact Dallas Company Vehicle Accident Lawyers Near You
After notifying your insurance company, treating your injuries, filing reports, and documenting the scene, you should contact a Dallas personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. An experienced personal injury who has handled many similar cases will be able to provide sound advice for your case and walk you through your next steps. Finding the right personal injury lawyer in Texas may seem difficult, but there are plenty of resources available to make the process easier; ask friends or family for recommendations, or even use a simple internet search using terms such as “injury attorney near me,” “personal injury lawyer near me,” or “commercial vehicle wreck attorneys Dallas TX.”
Another option when looking for representation is to look for an attorney through the American Bar Association’s online directory. You can also find a lawyer through the Texas State Bar Association’s website or the Dallas Bar Association’s lawyer referral service.
No matter how you find your legal representative, you should choose a personal injury attorney who has the experience and skill needed to handle your case, and a track record of success in pursing personal injury claims. Zinda Law Group’s have experience with personal injury claims and an outstanding record of success in handling matters like these for our clients nationwide.
File your claim as soon as possible
As with all personal injury cases, time is of the essence. If you believe that your company vehicle accident was caused by another’s negligence, contact a Dallas personal injury lawyer right away, for there are time constraints, such as statutes of limitations, involved in civil cases that determine how long you will have to file your claim. In Texas, the statute of limitations for truck accident cases is two years; this means that you would have two years from the date of your accident to file a claim.
If you attempt to file your claim beyond that two-year limit, your claim is barred. This means that it is not allowed and will be dismissed. An experienced Dallas personal injury attorney will be able to help you determine when you will need to file, and if you are subject to any of the exceptions that exist to “toll” or delay the statute of limitations.
COMMON CAUSES OF COMPANY VEHICLE ACCIDENTS
There are numerous causes for company vehicle accidents. These causes are the result of both human error and road conditions. Common causes of commercial vehicle crashes in Texas include:
- Aggressive driving
- Speeding
- Unsafe lane changes
- Improperly loaded cargo
- Distracted driving
- Drowsy driving
- Mechanical failure
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Reckless driving
- Poorly maintained vehicles
- Failure to obey traffic signals or signs
- Driver error caused by improper training
- Vehicle defects
- Road hazards
Regardless of the cause of your company vehicle-related wreck, you should contact a Dallas personal injury lawyer as soon as possible if you believe that another driver’s negligence contributed to the crash.
WHO CAN YOU SUE?
What makes company vehicle accidents complicated is the possibility of multiple defendants. You will likely be able to sue the driver of the vehicle personally and file a claim against their insurance company. Aside from the driver of the vehicle, the company that owns and operates the vehicle can be liable as well.
You may sue the company, and if they are found to be at fault for the accident, you may be able to recover compensation from them. Suing both the driver and the company can ensure you receive compensation, as it is likely that the driver themselves may not be able to cover the cost of your claim.
WHAT YOU CAN RECOVER
You may be able to recover the costs associated with your injury and recovery through a personal injury claim. The severity of the injury and recovery time directly affect the amount of recovery for a personal injury action; your injury may leave you unable to work or perform daily tasks, and you might require ongoing medical care and extensive rehabilitative therapy. You may be able to recover the costs in the form of compensatory damages; an experienced can assist you in recovering the maximum compensation you are entitled to.
These types of damages include both economic and noneconomic damages. Economic damages are the actual, monetary costs of your injury. Noneconomic damages cover the mental and emotional toll the injury has taken on your life and are recovered in the form of compensation for pain and suffering.
In pursing your claim, you may have to deal with the other person’s insurance company, or their employer’s. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you navigate this difficult legal terrain to ensure you receive the maximum compensation for injuries caused by a company vehicle accident. The following are common economic and noneconomic damages you may be entitled to recover:
Medical Bills
You may be able to recover the cost of medical bills you have paid out-of-pocket since the accident. This includes doctor’s visits, physical therapy and rehabilitation, and medication. You may also be able to recover the costs of any future appointments, medication, or treatments necessary for your recovery.
Lost Wages
If you are out of work due to your injury, you may recover what you would have earned from the time of the accident until you can return to work, as a part of your economic damages.
Diminished Earning Capacity
In addition to lost wages, you may be able to recover loss of earning capacity. Your injuries from the accident may prevent you from going back to your job or working at another job for similar compensation. As a result, you may be able to recover the difference between what you were earning before the accident and what you are earning now.
Additional Costs
There are smaller out-of-pocket costs that accumulate over time, which may stem from your injuries. These costs include alternative transportation, groceries, rent, mortgage payments, and other bills. There is also the out-of-pocket cost for fixing or replacing your vehicle. You may be able to recover these costs as part of your settlement.
Mental Anguish
Your non-economic damages include pain and suffering that result from the accident. There are emotional and mental tolls that an accident takes on a person and/or their family. You may be able to recover for this mental anguish itself, and the cost of mental health treatment that may stem from the accident.
Pain and Suffering
In particularly devastating accidents, your injuries may result in long-term or permanent impairment. Aside from the resulting change in circumstances, your injuries may cause you to suffer physical pain in your day-to-day life. You may be able to receive compensation for your pain as a part of your non-economic damages.
