Commercial Vehicle: Serious Injury
Alabama
What Are Commercial Vehicle Accidents?
Commercial vehicle accidents involve vehicles used for business purposes, such as trucks, buses, delivery vans, and other large vehicles. These accidents can be particularly severe due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles, often resulting in significant injuries and property damage. Given the complexity of the laws governing commercial vehicles, understanding your legal rights is crucial.
