Commercial Vehicle Accidents in Fort Worth Texas
Commercial vehicles such as semi trucks can cause severe destruction when they are involved in accidents with other vehicles. Not only are commercial vehicles heavier than the average car or truck, but they also may carry loads that are toxic or flammable. When a person is involved in an accident with a commercial vehicle, the result is often catastrophic, and may be fatal.

Handling a Broad Range of Commercial Vehicle Accidents
The term “commercial vehicle accident” encompasses more than just accidents involving tractor-trailers. Commercial vehicles can include:
- Delivery vans
- Cleaning vans
- Utility trucks
- Taxis and other transit vehicles
- Corporate automobiles
- Moving trucks
- Gravel trucks
- Rock-hauling trucks
Success in commercial vehicle cases requires an attorney who is capable of unraveling complex questions. Who owns the vehicle? What if the owner is a shell corporation? Do any specific regulations apply in your case? As one of the top lawyers in Tarrant County, Texas, (listed as a TOP Attorney since 2001 in Fort Worth Magazine, as chosen by his peers) Kent McAfee can find the right answers to those questions and present a strong case for you.
Whether the accident was caused by a distracted driver who was focused on the next delivery or a person in a hurry who caused a rear-end or intersection accident, we will ensure that the appropriate party is held accountable.
We Hold Employers Accountable
It may be obvious that the commercial driver who struck you could be held liable for your injuries, but the driver may not bear sole or ultimate responsibility. Employers themselves are often liable for injuries caused by their drivers. We will investigate your case thoroughly to determine where the responsibility truly lies.
