Commercial Vehicle Accident Lawyers In Pennsylvania

Commercial vehicle accidents can result in devastating injuries and complex legal challenges that differ significantly from typical passenger car crashes. The sheer size and weight of these vehicles often cause catastrophic damage, while the corporate entities behind them deploy teams of lawyers and insurance adjusters to minimize their liability.

At Bellwoar Kelly, LLP, our commercial vehicle accident lawyers understand the unique complexities of these cases and the aggressive tactics used by large corporations to avoid responsibility. With offices in Chester County, Montgomery County and Delaware County, we represent accident victims throughout southeastern Pennsylvania who have been injured by negligent commercial vehicles.

Types Of Commercial Vehicles We Handle

The roads throughout our region are filled with various types of commercial vehicles that pose significant risks to other motorists. These large vehicles require special training, maintenance and safety protocols that are often ignored or inadequately followed:

• Tractor-trailers and semi trucks that cause severe damage due to their massive size and weight
• Delivery trucks operated by companies like UPS, FedEx and Amazon that make frequent stops throughout residential and commercial areas
• Box trucks used for moving services and freight transportation
• Public transportation buses, school buses and charter buses carrying passengers
• Utility trucks used by electrical, water and telecommunications companies
• Construction vehicles including dump trucks, cement mixers and heavy machinery transporters

Each type of vehicle presents distinct hazards and liability considerations that require thorough investigation and legal analysis.

Liability Challenges In Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Determining liability in crashes involving commercial vehicles often involves multiple potentially responsible parties. The driver, trucking company, vehicle owner, maintenance provider and cargo loading company may all bear responsibility for the accident. Pennsylvania law requires commercial vehicle operators to maintain higher standards of care.

Companies like UPS, FedEx and Amazon employ sophisticated legal teams to minimize their exposure in accident cases. They often attempt to shift blame to their drivers as independent contractors or claim that mechanical failures were unforeseeable. Vehicle maintenance records, driver logs, GPS data, black box information and company safety policies must be secured before they disappear or are destroyed. Our legal team works with accident reconstruction specialists and industry professionals to build compelling cases against these well-defended corporations.
