Speak with an Atlanta Commercial Vehicle Accident Attorney

Commercial vehicles are defined as cars or trucks used for transporting goods or passengers for business purposes. This includes freight vehicles such as trucks, trailers, and delivery vans, as well as passenger vehicles such as buses, shuttles, or vans. Commercial vehicles also refer to service vehicles such as utility trucks and construction vehicles.

In Georgia, commercial vehicles often require special licensing for drivers, and their operation is subject to federal and state regulations that don't apply to standard motorists. Operating these cars, trucks, and vans requires specific safety standards, driver qualifications, and operational instructions. Some scenarios of commercial vehicle accidents include:

A car accident with an Amazon delivery truck
Lawn care trucks side-swiping your vehicle or rear-ending your car
A dump truck overturning due to an uneven load and causes a multi-car accident
An 18-wheeler jackknifing on a wet highway causing a pile-up
An Uber or Lyft ridesharing vehicle rear-ends another due to distraction
A food delivery motorcycle hits a pedestrian while speeding to make a delivery

What is the Difference Between a Commercial Vehicle and a Regular Vehicle?

A commercial vehicle is one used to conduct business and may be operated by the business owner or an employee. Commercial vehicles are registered as such; however, the increasing practice of Amazon using private cars for delivery through subcontractors has blurred this line. Ridesharing companies such as Uber and Lyft have also created a gray area regarding who is liable in these accidents where employees use their personal vehicles for commercial purposes.

Regardless of whether you know if the vehicle in your accident was operating as a business at the time, the experienced team at Mabra Law can determine the facts and proceed accordingly. We have experience handling all types of car accidents and can help you recover the compensation you need to heal your injuries properly.
