Not every commercial-vehicle crash involves a big rig. Delivery vans, service trucks, and company cars are everywhere, and crashes with them follow special rules.
Employer Liability
When a driver causes a crash while working, their employer is typically liable for the employee's negligence. Commercial policies usually carry higher limits than personal auto insurance, which can matter for serious injuries.
Identifying the employer and the work purpose is key.
More Coverage, More Scrutiny
Larger commercial policies mean insurers defend these claims aggressively, often with rapid investigation. Company records, vehicle data, and employment details all become relevant evidence.
Recovering Fully
Because employer liability and commercial coverage are involved, these claims can be more valuable but also more contested. Prompt investigation and skilled handling help secure full compensation.
