WHAT IS A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE?

Many company vehicles are apparent, as they may have company logos, serial numbers, or other identifiers on them; however, many do not have any outward identifiers. A company vehicle is generally any vehicle used in the operation of a business, and this includes vehicles owned by the business as well as privately owned vehicles when they are used for business purposes. These business purposes may include:

• Traveling to meetings
• Transporting of goods
• Traveling between job sites or offices
• Running errands for the business
• Rental cars during out of town business trips

Any time a vehicle is being used to conduct any type of business for the company, it is generally considered to be a company vehicle. A vehicle may also be a company vehicle in certain situations, such as if:

• It has had alterations or equipment installed for business purposes.
• It is routinely driven by employees for personal and business use.
• It is rented or leased out to others.
• There is a business on the title to the vehicle.

Fort Worth commercial vehicle wreck attorneys can help you determine whether the vehicle that caused your collision was in fact a company vehicle. By hiring an experienced injury attorney near you to handle your claim as soon as possible after your accident, your lawyer can begin the process of determining if the driver, the company, or any other third parties may be liable for any injuries or damages you suffered in the accident.

Determining liability after a company vehicle accident

Determining liability after an accident involving a company vehicle can be a complex process. The first thing that must be determined is whether negligence may have been the cause of the accident. Negligent behavior by a driver means the driver failed to take the proper precautions that may have prevented an accident.

Examples of Negligent Behavior

• Distracted driving, which occurs when a driver fails to pay proper attention to the road and to other vehicles due to being distracted, such as by cell phones or other electronic devices, eating while driving, or by other passengers
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, which can greatly impair a driver’s ability to perceive the road, other vehicles, and make quick decisions, which in turn can easily lead to an accident
• Reckless driving, which generally includes actions such as passing when it may be unsafe to do so, running a traffic light or stop sign, speeding, or weaving in and out of traffic
• Drowsy driving, which can occur when drivers fail to get adequate sleep before or during the course of a trip, causing the driver to have difficulty focusing on the road and surroundings, suffer decreased reaction time, and possibly even fall asleep while driving

After Determining the Driver’s Negligence Caused the Accident

Once it is determined that negligence may have caused the accident, if the accident involved a company vehicle, it must be determined if the driver may be personally liable or if the company will take responsibility for the accident. In many cases, the company may be legally responsible for the employee’s actions while they are driving or working on behalf of the company, which means the company will often be liable for any damages that may occur as a result of an accident caused by the driver.

However, the company may not be liable in every accident involving a company vehicle. If the employee committed a crime while driving, such as driving under the influence, driving recklessly, or if the driver was an independent contractor, the company may be able to prove that the employee driving the vehicle was acting out of the scope of his or her employment at the time of the accident or that the company is otherwise not liable for the employee’s actions. Nevertheless, even if you are not able to file a claim against the company that owns the vehicle, you may still be able to pursue compensation from the negligent driver or any potential third parties whose negligence may have contributed to the accident.

In some cases, even if the driver may not have acted negligently, the company itself may have been negligent. Companies have an obligation to ensure their vehicles are well maintained, regularly inspected, and generally in good working order. Companies must also ensure their drivers are properly qualified, licensed and/or certified, and properly trained. Failure to observe these precautions may result in an accident where the company may be liable.

A Fort Worth personal injury attorney can help to determine whether negligence caused the accident. Zinda Law Group attorneys have experience in handling this type of personal injury cases, so we can advise you on who else may be liable for any injuries or damages that occurred as a result of your accident.

how will my attorney prove the other driver or a company is liable?

To prove the other party’s liability for your injuries or damages after an accident, your personal injury lawyer in Fort Worth will need to first establish that the other driver was negligent in causing the accident. Once this requirement is established, your attorney will also have to prove that the company that owned the vehicle or employed the driver is liable for their negligent actions, or if the company may have been negligent itself.

In many cases, the company that owned the vehicle or employed the driver may be liable for the accident simply by proving the other driver was negligent and caused the accident. In other cases, the company may not be responsible for the driver’s actions, such as if the driver was not an employee, but the company may still be liable because the company acted negligently itself. To prove either the other driver’s negligence or the company’s negligence, it will be especially critical for you to hire an experienced commercial vehicle wreck attorney in Fort Worth; a skilled lawyer will know how to handle the added complexities involved in a vehicle accident case that involves a company vehicle.

To prove the negligence of the other parties, your attorney will generally need to prove four elements:

• Duty of care
• Breach of duty
• Causation
• Damages

Duty of Care

A duty of care is the obligation to take or refrain from certain actions in order to prevent an accident. Every motor vehicle driver has a duty of care to avoid causing an accident and to follow the applicable laws such as speed limits; additionally, a company has a duty to ensure that any employee driving a company vehicle drives in a safe manner and takes reasonable care to avoid accidents. Further, the company also has a duty to avoid allowing drivers with a history of traffic accidents or traffic citations to drive company vehicles.

Breach of Duty

If the other party owed you a duty of care, the next step is to prove that the party breached this duty of care. A breach may occur when the driver breaches his or her duty to avoid causing an accident by running a traffic light or stop sign, or when a company breaches the duty to not allow drivers with a history of reckless driving to drive company vehicles. You will have to prove that the other party breached their duty of care to you, or that the company that owned the vehicle is liable for the driver’s actions in causing the accident or for the company’s own negligent behavior.

Causation

Next, your attorney will need to prove that the other party’s breach actually caused your accident; causation is determined by proving the accident would not have occurred except for the other party’s negligent behavior breaching their duty of care to you.

Damages

Finally, your lawyer must prove you actually suffered damages from the accident; in many cases, the damages element can be satisfied by the medical bills you incurred treating your injuries, as well as other damages such as time missed from work or for your pain and suffering.

It can sometimes be difficult to spot the signs of negligence during and immediately after the accident, but a personal injury attorney in Fort Worth can help you. In doing so, a skilled Fort Worth car accident lawyer can help you pursue the maximum compensation you may be entitled to after your accident.

can i sue uber or lyft?

Ridesharing companies such as Uber and Lyft are becoming more popular and as a result, this means more vehicles providing these services can be found on the road. It can be difficult to seek compensation from these types of companies, as most drivers providing these services are classified as independent contractors rather than traditional employees; this means companies like Uber or Lyft may not be liable after an accident, and the driver will be personally responsible for any claims made against them if they cause an accident.

Yet, in some cases, you may be able to bring a claim against a ridesharing service, such as if the driver intentionally caused the accident. If the driver had a background of reckless driving or accidents that should have prevented the service from hiring them, the ridesharing service may be liable. A Fort Worth car accident lawyer can examine your case and determine whether you may be able to pursue a claim against the ridesharing service if you were involved in an accident involving a vehicle being driven for a ridesharing company.

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. Their commitment to their clients and their willingness to fight for what's right truly sets them apart. In short, I give them a rating of five stars for their outstanding work.

Shelly Ruedin

I am so glad I called Zinda law group. being hit by a drink driver was the worst experience of my life physically and emotionally. As soon as I reached out they got the ball rolling with all my medical needs. They were in contact with all of my appointments and made my recovery as smooth as possible. I would definitely without a doubt recommend them. A huge shout out to Shivangi for taking over and fighting for what my family and I deserved.

Veronica Portillo

My experience with Zinda Law Group has been OUTSTANDING! Big shoutout to Joe Caputo and his team!I was the passenger in a terrible car accident that left me needing medical attention. The person at faults insurance company reassured me that my medical bills would be taken care of. However, that was not the case. I started receiving multiple calls from debt collectors, and bill after bill by mail. The driver’s insurance company no longer returned my calls, and emails went unanswered. I was so stressed and over my head with how to handle the situation. It was time to call the pros! As soon as I made the call to Zinda Law Group, Joe and his team I were on it! I no longer received calls from debt collectors, so I knew action was taken immediately. I was informed every step of the way, and every call/email was answered. Had I called sooner, I would have never gone through all that stress. I was treated like a friend, not just a client.Thank you Zinda Law Group!

KJ Matocha

I hired Zinda for a crazy situation involving an 18 wheeler where an object flew off a trailer and blasted through my windshield.I reached out to Zinda and spoke with Michael Cupero, my attorney at Zinda, after the accident once I realized this is affecting my day to day life in a significant way (PTSD from a "Final Destination" type of incident) and Michael was nothing short of fantastic through the entire process.The Zinda team, including Michael and Mary-Catherine Holt and several others, guided me through the entire process from initial settlement offers, filing the lawsuit, depositions, the whole 9.They listened to my concerns, provided clarity and perspective when needed, and not once did I feel that my best interest was not at the forefront of their actions and behavior through my experience as a client.Thank you Michael, Mary-Catherine and Zinda!If you want a team that will treat you with professionalism, respect, and understanding then do yourself a favor and reach out to Zinda!

Dyllan Larson

I found myself in a situation where I needed legal representation. After looking over reviews in the area, I decided to contact Natasha at Zinda law group in the hopes that she could represent me .

It felt like a wave of relief knowing that you're working with a professional that knows what she's doing, and knows how to get things done quickly and efficiently. I appreciate the time and attention that Natasha put into my case. I hope I won't be needing their services again in the future, but I would absolutely contact them again if I do. Thanks again

They were very thorough in explaining the different scenarios, and extremely transparent with all the possible outcomes.Thank you to every person who aided in the success of my case, all of whom were exceptional in their tasks and working as a team.

Jorge Estevez

The Zinda Law Group was outstanding in helping me with my aunts case. My two Attorneys Neil and Shivangi were very compassionate, kind, eager to help, and really listen carefully and attentively to my case about my aunt. 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. At the end of each subject matter they always asked, "Do you have any questions for me before we go to the next thing we need to talk about?" They always wanted to make sure I understood everything before the next item we needed to talk about. These guys really are good and want to please the client anyway they can I thought; when I first started talking to them. I give them above and beyond a 5-Star rating if there was such a thing. I Highly Recommend The Zinda Law Group to Anyone who needs them. This is what I give them if I could!!💯💯💯💯💯 and👍👍👍👍👍 and⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❗❗❗THANK YOU TO NEIL, SHIVANGI, MARA AND TO EVERYONE AT THE ZINDA LAW GROUP WHO WORKED ON MY CASE!! I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!

Tom M.

I would like to recognize a fantastic attorney named Joe Caputo from Zinda Law Group. I was involved in an auto accident that had many complicated moving parts that were hard to navigate and understand as a victim. Joe was so gracious and spent quality time explaining what courses of action I needed to take as a victim to protect myself. Joe was also diligent in following up with me regarding my case and provided guides and checklists that were extremely helpful to keep things organized and moving. Joe was always readily available for my questions and responded promptly. Joe Caputo's excellent counsel ensured I protected myself when dealing with the opposing insurance company and ensured the best possible outcome for my case. Joe's expertise in personal injury lawsuits helped alleviate the stress and anxiety that follows the aftermath of an auto accident. Thanks again Joe! You are truly an amazing, kind person and attorney!

Katherina Walker

Zinda Law was incredibly amazing. I had the pleasure of working with Michael and his incredibly hard working team after my wreck in November. 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!!

Allie Scott

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!!!!!!

Julie Nguyen

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!

Joe Jones

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.

Jake The fox

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.

Paul Tharp

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.

Private Site

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.

Philip de Leon

They explained everything to me very well and put things into simple terms for my understanding. I am very satisfied with their performance.

JESSIE- PICHIN HUANG

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.

Jane Githure

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.

Christian

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.

Kathryn Shelton

They helped me after I got into car accident, they are such a great professional business.

I had multiple people working on my said case and they were very professional and nice whenever they had called me and kept it very simple for me to understand what was actually going on. I'm extremely happy that I had found them and went with them to help me and I'm so thankful for them. 10/10 would recommend!

Silver Hunter

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!

Emily Miller

Morgan Makomaski

Zinda Law Group helped me with my personal injury case after an auto accident. I was hurt pretty badly and I wasn't sure which attorney to call, I looked at reviews for Zinda Law and called right away.Kaitlin Nares and her team were so responsive and helpful. Kaitlin called me right away and helped me navigate through a very difficult process and time in my life. Being hurt in a car accident changes you!!! My case settled for more than I thought it would, and a lot quicker. I know sometimes things are more complicated, but my case was settled in only 3 months after my accident. Mary-Catherine was also so helpful in making sure everything was finalized! I have referred two people who have recently been in auto accident because it's not IF, its WHEN these days... I usually don't write reviews unless I feel strongly about sharing my experience to help others! Thank you!!!

hannah kozloff

I ended up getting hit by a car when I was at school at the age of 17. My whole life ended up changing after that accident and because of family matters I wasn't able to get help till I was 18.

Minnie 512atx

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.

Melissa Nadlman

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.

What to do after a car accident in fort worth

If you have been involved in a car accident, knowing what to do next can be difficult in this high-stress situation, making it often crucial to plan ahead and know the steps that you will need to take immediately following an accident. Some of the most important steps you should take if you have been injured in a car crash include:

1. Seek Immediate Medical Treatment for Any Injuries

If you have been in an accident, first determine whether you or anyone in your vehicle may be injured and seek immediate medical treatment for any injuries. In many cases, some injuries may not be readily apparent after a car crash, such as whiplash or internal injuries. Even if you do not immediately appear to be injured, you should still seek medical attention to rule out any injuries.

2. Document the Accident

After an accident, it is crucial to collect as much information as you can, being sure to get the other driver’s name, driver’s license information, license plate number, and insurance information; if the other driver is driving a company vehicle, obtain the name of the driver’s employer or the company that owns the vehicle and the necessary contact information. If possible, take as many pictures or videos of the accident as you can, including pictures of each vehicle involved in the accident as well as the scene of the accident. You should also obtain the contact information for any potential witnesses to the accident.

3. Contact Law Enforcement

Contact local law enforcement after your accident even if the accident appears to be minor with no serious injuries; contacting law enforcement can help you further document the accident. The officer will speak to each of the drivers involved in the accident as well as any witnesses. If the officer files a police report for your accident, make arrangements to obtain a copy as insurance companies will reference this report when processing your accident claim.

4. Call an Experienced Fort Worth Car Accident Lawyer

One of the most important steps to take after your accident is to contact an experienced injury lawyer in Fort Worth as soon as possible, for the aftermath of any accident can be confusing and difficult, but car crashes involving company vehicles make it even more difficult and complicated to pursue compensation for your accident. By calling an experienced personal injury attorney, you can focus on healing from your injuries while your lawyer handles your case. Your attorney will help you understand your legal options after your accident as well as help you determine who may be liable for any injuries or other damages you suffered.
