Why You Need an Attorney for a Commercial Vehicle Accident Claim

When a commercial vehicle causes a crash, you may wonder who pays for your losses. Under Georgia law, an employer can be held liable for an employee’s actions if the employee was acting within the scope of their job at the time of the crash. 

However, some companies distance themselves from liability by disputing whether the driver was on the job at the time of the crash or classifying their drivers as independent contractors. A company can also be held responsible for its own actions, such as negligent hiring or poor vehicle maintenance, but proving that connection usually requires access to the company’s internal records.

At Monge & Associates, we will request these records through formal legal channels, push back against attempts to misclassify a driver, and build the evidence needed to hold the responsible company accountable for its role in your crash. With our Atlanta commercial vehicle accident lawyers on your side, you won’t have to take on the defendant by yourself.

What Factors Can Lead to a Commercial Vehicle Accident in Atlanta?

Atlanta’s mix of downtown congestion, highway commuting, and constant delivery traffic can often lead to a commercial vehicle collision. Several recurring factors tend to contribute to these crashes:

• Delivery schedules that pressure drivers to speed or skip rest breaks
• Frequent stops and lane changes in heavy traffic
• Blind spots on box trucks and delivery vans, especially while backing up or merging
• High driver turnover, which can mean less experience behind the wheel
• Distracted driving caused by GPS units or delivery apps

Common Injuries Resulting from Commercial Vehicle Collisions

Even a smaller delivery van weighs several times what a passenger car does, so a collision with one can cause serious harm. Injuries commonly reported after these crashes include:

• Broken bones
• Head and brain injuries
• Spinal cord damage
• Deep cuts from broken glass or metal
• Internal bleeding
• Whiplash
• Torn ligaments
• Crush injuries
• Amputations
• Psychological trauma
