Protecting Your Rights Against Commercial Vehicles

Since drivers of semi trucks, utility vehicles, delivery trucks or any other commercial vehicle are working for an employer, they are required to drive with the safest standards and qualities in mind. They must uphold their training, certifications, and qualifications in order to legally operate their large vehicles. They deal with unique dangers when driving such large vehicles, such as stopping quickly and steering through difficult roads and driving conditions.  There are many unique scenarios and issues that can cause an accident and these are serious factors that deserve diligent attention. If the driver you got in an accident with is not up to date on their qualifications, you will be entitled to damages.

The Difference In Personal Vehicle and Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Truck accidents that involve large commercial vehicles are handled differently than a car accident between two personal vehicles. At Jeeves, we use our specific knowledge of Federal and State laws to handle these vehicles. These are serious cases that need skilled attorneys who understand the industry changes as well as the rules and regulations associated to the industry.
