Available 24 / 7|Free ConsultationWhat Are Common Commercial Vehicle Accident Injuries?
Commercial vehicle accidents involve trucks and vehicles significantly heavier than the average car. As a result, the injuries you can suffer are much more severe. After a commercial vehicle accident, you could find that you’ve suffered the following injuries:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Internal injuries
- Neck injuries
- Accidental amputation
Even though legal help is necessary after an accident, your priority should be getting medical attention for your injuries. By getting your injuries diagnosed, you’re protecting your health and legal rights because you’re aware of your injuries.

When you suffer injuries in a Dallas commercial vehicle crash, there are multiple parties you could hold accountable for your injuries. We understand the stress of dealing with legal tasks after you’ve been injured, so our law firm is ready to take them on for you. Using evidence, we’ll determine which of the following parties are at fault:
Driver
As the person in control of the vehicle, the driver is one of the most common at-fault parties in Dallas commercial vehicle accidents. Drivers could be at fault for a number of reasons, including:
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Texting or talking on their phone
- Being fatigued
- Failing to follow road rules
Anytime a driver puts others’ lives at risk, they violate their duty of care to avoid harming others. If the driver involved in your accident performed or failed to perform any actions above and they contributed to your injuries, our commercial vehicle accident attorneys in Dallas can gather evidence to help hold them liable.
The Vehicle’s Mechanic
When a vehicle has a problem, especially a commercial vehicle used for business purposes, the company or driver should get it serviced to prevent future issues. However, even if the driver takes it to the auto shop for repair, the vehicle could still have issues if:
- The mechanic improperly fixed the issue.
- The mechanic failed to fix the issue.
When a mechanic doesn’t properly fix a known issue, it could lead to a devastating commercial vehicle accident. And if it does, the mechanic would be at-fault for your injuries.
The Trucking Company
The final party that could be liable for your injuries is the trucking company. Common reasons a company could be responsible for the accident include:
- Forcing drivers to work more than the law allows
- Failing to order an inspection
- Failing to provide proper training to employees
- Hiring unqualified drivers
If the company performed or failed to perform any actions above and it results in a Dallas commercial vehicle accident, our legal team in Dallas could hold the company accountable.
Every commercial vehicle crash is different, so additional parties could be at fault for your accident and costs. Our team of lawyers can help determine which parties are at-fault in your accident.

After you get into a commercial vehicle accident in Texas, you have a short time to file a personal injury claim to pursue compensation. According to Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003, you have two years from the accident date to file.
Even though two years seems like enough time, and you could wait to file, our attorneys urge you to file soon after you’ve received medical help. From the time of your accident to healing from your injuries, a lot of time passes. We want to make sure you’re fully healed from your injuries so we can pursue every damage you’re eligible for.
We emphasize filing early; however, in some cases, you may have a longer or shorter to file your claim. To protect your legal rights, we recommend that you meet with us for a free case consultation to determine your filing deadline.
