Minnesota Commercial Vehicle Accident Lawyers |Tyroler Leonard Injury Law

Due to their size and the number of commercial vehicles on the road, commercial vehicles are some of the most dangerous vehicles to share the road with. Whether a passenger vehicle operated by a company or a large truck, these vehicles can also make receiving compensation for your injuries more challenging. If you are in such an accident, we encourage you to protect your rights by hiring Minnesota commercial vehicle accident lawyers who know how to hold these organizations accountable.

At Tyroler Leonard Injury Law, we bring experience and a strong passion for fighting for our clients. If you are suffering serious losses due to the mistakes of another party, you deserve to have a legal team by your side that is passionate about supporting you.

Why Commercial Vehicle Accidents Are Challenging

A commercial vehicle is often owned and maintained by a company and driven by an employee or other representative of that company. As a result, that company vehicle is the asset of the business itself, and when someone driving it causes injury or loss to others, it becomes critical for the victim to pursue compensation from the vehicle owner.

We fight for our clients. To do this, we learn who is responsible for your accident and then hold them accountable. As an experienced commercial vehicle accident lawyer in Minnesota, we know this takes hard work and investigation. Many times, multiple parties are at fault, including:

The driver of the commercial vehicle
The company that owned the vehicle
The company that failed to maintain the vehicle properly
The manufacturer if the problem is related to the vehicle instead of the driver.

As highly experienced attorneys, we will help you navigate your rights in holding accountable anyone who was responsible for your injury.

Common Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Our commercial vehicle accident lawyer has helped many people navigate the complexity of these cases. Keep in mind that there are often many types of accidents that are involved in these losses. Here are a few examples.

Truck Accidents

As one of the most common vehicles involved in accidents in Minnesota, truck accidents are some of the most deadly as well. These trucks, including 18-wheelers and semis, travel at very fast speeds and carry a lot of weight. When they cause an accident, a person may suffer years of pain and long-term recovery. These are also some of the most common causes of fatal injuries. If you are the victim of a truck accident, we encourage you not to settle your case without the help of commercial vehicle accident attorneys.

Government Vehicle Accidents

A police car slams into you, or a city-owned maintenance truck causes an accident. While these are not technically commercial vehicles, they are used in a commercial capacity in that they are operated by employees of the government. In these situations, it is critical to have an experienced law firm by your side to help you navigate the process.

Delivery Trucks

It does not take much effort to notice delivery trucks moving through your community and dropping off packages at homes on a constant basis. These trucks are a type of commercial vehicle that can put you at risk if they back up into you or stop suddenly. A person walking or riding a bike could be facing intense loss as a direct result of being hit by a delivery vehicle.

Garbage Trucks

Another type of commercial vehicle that may cause an accident on a routine basis is a garbage truck. These trucks are some of the most worrisome because of how large they are. They also stop frequently and lift heavy debris off the ground before putting it into the back of the truck. This creates the risk of debris striking your car or even your body. These trucks are also very bulky, which makes them harder to drive and navigate in tight spaces. All of this can lead to higher risk of injury.

Construction Vehicles

Another reason to call our Minnesota commercial vehicles accident lawyer is if you are hurt or otherwise suffer losses due to the actions of a construction vehicle. These are usually very large pieces of equipment capable of handling very tough tasks. As a result, they are often moving into and out of areas, jutting into traffic, or moving unexpectedly from one area to the next. This leads to numerous risks to other people on the roadway.

Proving Fault in a Commercial Vehicle Accident

One of the first steps our attorneys take in these cases is to prove fault. To do this, we must consider all types of evidence available. With commercial vehicles, it can sometimes be easier than you think to obtain that evidence. As an attorney, we have more access to the information you need.

We use logs from commercial vehicles that may provide insight into how the truck was being driven or how the employee was violating the law.
Toxicology reports can also provide us with information on whether or not the driver was impaired. When car accidents happen involving an intoxicated employee (perhaps leaving a work-related event), that puts you at risk.
Witness statements could help to verify situations where a person was driving recklessly prior to the accident or provide proof of what the driver did or did not do as the vehicles collided.
Photos and videos may be available from traffic cameras to provide insight into what occurred as well.
We may utilize data from accident recreation specialists to help us better understand how this incident took place.

As your commercial vehicle accident lawyer, we dig deep into the evidence to find the truth. Then, we hold accountable those who were responsible.

Common Injuries in Commercial Vehicles

Our commercial vehicle accident attorney has helped clients facing a wide range of injuries from these types of accidents. Many times, these accidents carry long-term risks, such as ongoing disfigurement, long-term pain and suffering, and years of recovery. Some of the most challenging cases we have taken on include the following:

Traumatic brain injuries: The force of a large truck hitting you can cause your head to slam into the steering wheel or windshield, causing serious injuries and, in many situations, long-term cognitive impact.
Burns: If a large commercial truck is carrying any type of toxic chemical or flammable material, this can lead to devastating burns.
Spinal cord injuries: Another very common injury damages the spinal cord, causing nerve pain and mobility concerns for some and paralysis for others.
Disfigurement: From amputation to scarring, you may have substantial injuries to your body that will never go away.
Wrongful death: In some of the most tragic cases, our clients suffer the loss of their family members.

Many other injuries can also occur, from broken bones to internal organ injuries. If you are hurt because a commercial vehicle struck you, you deserve full and fair compensation. Let us go to work fighting for your right to recover that.
