What do we consider a commercial vehicle?

Getting into an accident with a commercial vehicle can lead to even more confusion and complications in the aftermath of the crash. In some cases, you will know right away if you are dealing with a commercial vehicle. In other cases, it is not readily apparent.

A commercial vehicle is one that transports goods or passengers for profit. Consider the following vehicles that are considered commercial:

  • Tractor-trailers
  • Cargo vehicles
  • Passenger buses
  • Delivery trucks
  • Delivery vans
  • Taxi cabs
  • Pickup trucks (in some circumstances)
  • And more

How often do commercial vehicle accidents occur?

There is no solid number on how many commercial vehicles in total are involved in crashes on California roadways. In many cases, these incidents are reported just like any other crash, and victims are left fighting with multiple insurance companies to secure coverage. We do know that there were more than 273,000 total crash injuries during the latest reporting year in this state.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) says that there were almost 150,000 injuries and nearly 5,000 fatalities on US roadways due to large truck crashes. These are the most devastating commercial vehicle crashes that can occur. These trucks can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds when fully loaded, and they cause serious injuries and damage when they impact the average passenger vehicle.

It is not uncommon for us to see the following injuries as a result of a commercial vehicle crash:

These injuries lead to enormous medical expenses and immense pain and suffering for victims and their families.
