Commercial
vehicle
accident

Company vehicle accident claims are far more complex than ordinary car wrecks. Commercial vehicles include cars, vans, trucks, and buses owned and operated by businesses for work purposes—whether transporting employees, hauling goods, or carrying passengers. When these vehicles are involved in crashes, victims often face catastrophic injuries and complicated legal battles against large corporations and their insurers.

At Carabin Law, we understand the stakes. Our San Antonio commercial vehicle accident attorneys are committed to holding negligent drivers and companies accountable. We have the resources and experience to investigate thoroughly, identify all liable parties, and aggressively pursue the financial compensation you deserve.

Common Types of Commercial Vehicles

Commercial and company-owned vehicles that frequently cause accidents include:

  • Semi-trucks and tractor-trailers
  • Delivery trucks and box trucks
  • Company cars and vans (including 15+ passenger vans)
  • Buses and coaches
  • Taxicabs and rideshare vehicles
  • Heavy machinery (bulldozers, backhoes, farm equipment)

Challenges in Company Vehicle Accident Claims

Large corporations and insurers aggressively defend against these cases to avoid financial liability. Common tactics include:

Recorded statements

Insurers may use selective editing to weaken your claim.

Designed to make victims accept inadequate compensation quickly.

Companies may hide maintenance logs or driver records.

Legal tactics to pressure victims into giving up.

Some employers discourage testing, which can affect liability.

When Can Employers Be Held Liable?

Under Texas law, employers are often legally responsible for crashes caused by their employees while driving company vehicles. In addition, employers may be held accountable for:

Maintenance failures

Neglecting vehicle inspections can lead to accidents.

Allowing unsafe drivers to operate vehicles increases risk.

Noncompliance with Title 49 or FMCSA rules is a key liability factor.

Encouraging long hours or phone use while driving increases employer responsibility.
