Getting Hit by a Company Vehicle Isn’t Just a Crash — It’s a Corporate Liability

If you’ve been seriously injured by a delivery van, oilfield truck, utility vehicle, or fleet-owned SUV, you may have a million-dollar case on your hands. Company vehicle crashes open the door to suing both the driver and their employer.


Texas Law Holds Employers Responsible for Their Drivers

When a driver is “on the job” and causes a crash, their employer is usually liable. This includes:

  • Delivery companies like FedEx or Amazon

  • Oil and gas service vehicles

  • Construction or contractor trucks


We Uncover Negligence at Every Level

Our investigation isn’t limited to the crash. We look deeper. Was the driver:

  • Properly trained?

  • Driving under time pressure?

  • Operating a vehicle with mechanical issues?

If we find company policy failures, we push for corporate accountability and higher damages.

Case Example:

We represented a client hit by a landscaping company truck in Austin. The driver had three prior DUIs. The company never checked his background. Our investigation revealed poor hiring practices, resulting in a $1.3 million settlement.


Compensation You May Be Entitled To:

  • Medical bills (past and future)

  • Lost income and job opportunities

  • Pain, suffering, and trauma

  • Future care or modifications for disability

Companies Have Bigger Policies — And Bigger Payouts

Unlike individual drivers, companies often carry commercial insurance with multi-million-dollar limits. This means your claim may be worth much more than a typical car accident.
