Commercial Vehicle Accident Lawyer

Last updated on March 31, 2026

Were you in a car accident with a company-owned vehicle? Accidents involving a commercial vehicle can be more complex than a regular car accident. There are more insurance issues to work through, and the company that owns the vehicle may fight even harder to deny you the compensation you deserve because the payouts are larger than a standard passenger vehicle accident claim.

At Breeland Injury Law, PLLC, in Austin, attorney Matt Breeland provides valuable experience gained from working as an insurance defense lawyer. By anticipating what the insurance company will do, he can stay a step ahead of the process. Speak with him today about your vehicle accident and how he can help in your specific case.

What Is A Commercial Vehicle?

In addition to semis and other large trucks, many companies use other types of commercial vehicles, such as:

• Company cars
• Vehicles driven by contractors
• Pickup trucks
• SUVs
• Large vans
• Delivery vans and trucks (FedEx, UPS and Amazon)
• Shuttles
• Smaller box trucks
• Construction equipment
• Tow trucks

Were you injured by another type of commercial vehicle or a rideshare vehicle? Matt may be able to help you with these complex accidents as well.

The Difference Between Commercial Vehicle Accidents And Standard Vehicle Accidents

While all vehicle accidents can be serious, there is often greater potential for catastrophic or fatal accidents when a commercial vehicle is involved. People driving for work may be speeding or driving recklessly to get to their destination on time. Some commercial vehicles, such as construction equipment, are more difficult to stop and maneuver. Also, larger commercial vehicles crash into passenger vehicles with greater force.

You can be injured by a commercial vehicle when you are not in a car. People on motorcycles, bicycles, E-scooters and on foot are also at risk for injury from a commercial vehicle.

You May Recover Significant Compensation After A Commercial Vehicle

Matt will seek full and fair compensation for your financial and physical/personal losses, such as:

• Pain and suffering
• Medical expenses
• Lost income and earning capacity
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Loss of a loved one
• Emotional distress
• Funeral and burial costs

It is important to have an experienced, compassionate attorney pursuing damages for you and your family. Matt is prepared to help.
