A commercial vehicle can be as big as a semi or as small as a pizza delivery car. Any vehicle driven for business purposes, however, is likely to be covered by commercial insurance which can significantly change the nature of the accident claims process.
Because commercial liability coverage typically starts at $1 million per accident, there may not be underinsurance problems except in the most severe cases involving disabling brain injuries, permanent spinal cord damage, or fatal injuries. This means that we will not normally have trouble collecting a settlement or jury verdict once liability is established.
However, you still might encounter problems with proving your damages claim. Where an auto insurer might agree to settle for the policy limits, a commercial vehicle insurer will have substantial liability risk to defend and will demand to be provided with clear proof of every part of your damages claim.
That is where our experience with the proof of complex injury claims can help you. The Copeland Law Firm has helped people recover damages for serious motor vehicle accidents since 1984. Over the years, we have developed strong relationships with outstanding medical experts and forensic specialists whose ability to explain the technical aspects of your injuries and future treatment needs usually make the decisive differences.
