Injured in an Accident with a Commercial Vehicle? Our Orange County Accident Attorneys Can Help

Unfortunately, a wreck with a commercial vehicle in Orange County can end up being more complicated for victims than a wreck with another passenger car. Victims may suddenly find themselves dealing with multiple parties, including the driver’s insurance company, the employer’s insurance company, city or state organizations, etc., and it may be difficult to know who to trust.

Additionally, since commercial vehicles often are larger and heavier than a typical passenger vehicle, victims often deal with very severe or disabling injuries after a wreck. As Orange County accident attorneys, we strongly encourage victims of commercial vehicle accidents to seek legal guidance as soon as possible after a wreck, and we urge drivers to take caution when sharing the road with commercial vehicles.

You Share the Road With Commercial Vehicles Every Day

Although you may not be aware of it, you share the road with commercial vehicles every day. Here are a few examples of the types of commercial vehicles you might encounter on a typical day in Orange County:

  • Tractor-trailer trucks
  • Taxis
  • Buses
  • Delivery trucks and vans
  • Construction vehicles

While not every commercial driver will cause a wreck, commercial drivers often are under additional stress or may be distracted while driving. A tired trucker may be pulling into Orange County after a long, cross-country haul; a delivery driver may be distracted behind the wheel with a business call; or, a taxi driver might be in a rush to get the next fare on a Saturday night. And, when commercial drivers engage in risky driving behavior, it’s usually the accident victims who pay.
