CALL US TODAYWHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT A NEVADA CAR ACCIDENT INVOLVING A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE?
First and foremost, if you were injured in an accident involving a commercial vehicle, then it's important that your attorney knows how to handle the insurance company.
Commercial vehicles carry a type of insurance known as "commercial liability insurance." These policies are different than personal policies in Nevada and can have their own set of rules when it comes to payments and other details. The good news is that if you've been injured by a commercial vehicle, it is likely that their policy will be large enough to both cover your treatment and ensure a healthy settlement.
POLICY LIMITS IN NEVADA AND HOW THEY WORK
In Nevada, the law requires that each individual driving on Nevada's roads carry a minimum policy limit of $25,000 for bodily injury. While some Las Vegans carry more than the minimum, some do not carry ANY Nevada insurance coverage at all.
Commercial vehicle means that a business owns the vehicle for work purposes. Businesses typically have more assets than individuals and therefore are required to purchase larger policies in Las Vegas. Because a personal injury settlement in Las Vegas depends not only on the medical treatment and bills you received, but how much money is available via the Nevada insurance policy.

Nevada truck and commercial accidents can happen anywhere, but there are some common factors that can make them more likely:
Speed: Trucks often drive faster than other vehicles on the road
Size: The size of the vehicle makes it more difficult for drivers to see around corners or change lanes quickly
Fatigue: Truck drivers are often required to drive long distances over a short period of time. Fatigued drivers are negligent drivers
Driving under the influence: If a truck driver gets behind the wheel while intoxicated, they are driving a multi-ton death trap. Recent catastrophic accidents involving long-haul truckers have involved drugs in Nevada.
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES AND TRUCKS
When we refer to "truck accident" we refer to more than just semi-trucks. Often, we see many Las Vegas commercial vehicles on the roads like a delivery truck, cargo-van, landscaping truck and utility vehicles. If these vehicles, often operated by large or small Nevada corporations, hit you, the sheer size and weight can cause serious injury.
