Commercial Car accident lawyers

When you get in an accident with another driver, you can often handle it with a quick conversation and a call to your insurance company. This is not the case in commercial vehicle accidents. 

First of all, it’s unlikely that you’ll be dealing with the individual driver. Large commercial companies may have a team of highly experienced accident lawyers who are trained to minimize liability as much as possible. 

You’re also sure to encounter more complex insurance regulations. In the aftermath of your accident, you might hear from the commercial company’s insurance company or claims adjuster as they attempt to make a quick settlement. 

Never talk to these representatives without consulting with a car accident attorney first. They may attempt to twist your words, minimize your injuries, or get you to admit other information that will lessen your future claim. 

On the plus side, commercial companies often have better record-keeping and higher standards for their drivers than the average person. You may be able to access company driving records, cell phone data, and even data-collection boxes (similar to the black box on an airplane) that can help you prove the circumstances of your accident.
