Attorney Representation in Phoenix Arizona Since 1996

Scottsdale Truck Accident Lawyer

If you were hit by someone driving a commercial vehicle -- a vehicle used exclusively for business -- you're facing special challenges. An accident with a driver on the job almost always means that you're pitted against a company, not just an individual. Even where there are insurance companies involved, the commercial policy may trigger quicker action by the at-fault party. That company has more money and resources than most people, and it will likely hire a lawyer right away to help it dodge liability for the accident. Because you, the driver and the company all have at least one insurance policy each, insurers may also be fighting over who should pay. And because commercial vehicles are often trucks that are many times the weight and size of a passenger car or truck, they bring much more force to a collision, putting occupants of the smaller vehicle at grave risk.

But if you believe that bad decisions by the business should at least make that company partly responsible for the accident, there's also some good news. When a business is liable for your injuries, you may have a greater likelihood of collecting the compensation you're entitled to. Just like individuals, businesses are legally responsible for their own careless decisions, such as the decision to use a vehicle with clear mechanical problems. Holders of commercial driver's licenses are subject to special federal rules, and their employers must ensure that they comply with certain regulations. And businesses are likely to have much more insurance than individuals. This can lift a great burden from accident victims -- if they move quickly to protect their rights.

If you've been in an accident with a commercial vehicle, you should contact Breyer Law Offices, P.C., as soon as possible. Commercial insurers and businesses know accidents are expensive. Unlike your family, the insurance companies for these businesses aren't reeling from a serious injury or an emotional shock. That means they may intentionally send an agent to settle your claim quickly, before you have time to understand its full value, time to understand your rights, or time to understand any long-term consequences of the incident. Never accept money from an insurer before you have time to think, and try to avoid signing documents you don't fully understand, because you could be signing away your right to pursue full compensation later. Politely decline these offers until you have time to speak with an Phoenix car accident wrongful death lawyers with experience handling commercial vehicle accidents.
