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.
