We share the roads with a large number of commercial vehicles such as delivery vans, garbage trucks, construction vehicles and tractor-trailers. While most commercial vehicles are operated by responsible companies that hire safe drivers and maintain their vehicles, others are willing to cut corners in order to increase profits.
If you or a loved one has been injured by a commercial vehicle, the attorneys at Eisenberg, Rothweiler, Winkler, Eisenberg & Jeck, P.C., can help you explore your legal options. We have significant experience handling personal injury lawsuits for clients throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Boston and nationwide.

Investigating the Causes of Commercial Vehicle Accidents
When a commercial vehicle accident results in serious injury, investigators from the insurance company responsible for paying the damage claim may arrive on the accident scene within hours. The goal of this investigation is one-sided: to limit the liability of the company that owns the commercial vehicle. To protect your interests, you should have a lawyer protecting your interests.
If you contact our lawyers quickly, we will collect and preserve evidence supporting your case, such as:
- The background of the driver, including past violations
- How long the driver had been on the road without resting
- The GPS system of the delivery vehicle (if so equipped)
- Safety inspection records of the vehicle
- Statements from witnesses
- Skid marks and debris from the accident scene
- Vehicle damage
Even if the commercial vehicle is clearly at fault, the insurance company may try to assign a percentage of the blame on you. This "blame-shifting" can reduce the amount of your financial recovery. To protect your right to full compensation, you should contact an experienced lawyer as soon as possible.
We urge you not to make any statements to an insurance company representative without first consulting with our attorneys. Anything you say to the insurance company can be used against you to damage your case.
