Commercial Trucking Accident Claims and Litigation
Motor vehicle accidents involving vans or light trucks operated by commercial drivers can present problems similar to those found in collisions between private vehicles and in big rig trucking accidents. To learn how an experienced personal injury attorney can protect your rights in a case involving a commercial vehicle, contact the Delius Law Firm in Atlanta.
Most commercial vehicles are locally operated and regulated, so the liability factors involved in proving fault against a negligent commercial driver will more closely resemble those found in car accidents. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations only rarely apply in cases involving construction vehicles, maintenance trucks, or moving vans. On the other hand, negotiating the settlement of your commercial vehicle accident can be similar to litigation against a major trucking company, because of the corporate nature of the defendant and the higher limits on its liability insurance, which may be no less than $1 million.
In a commercial vehicle accident, the amount of insurance that is usually available means that you shouldn't have to face the problem of settling for the other driver's coverage limits, exhausting your own underinsured motorist benefits, and then facing a shortfall between your recovery and the actual total of your damages. Georgia personal injury lawyer Scott Delius knows how to prove damages claims in convincing detail, so that the full range of your past and future losses and expenses may be pursued.
