We understand that accidents happen, but when a company vehicle is involved, it is possible that not only the driver was at fault, but also the company. Examples of company negligence is negligent hiring and/or supervision of their drivers. Oftentimes because the company has such high emphasis on cutting drive time, they don’t do the best job of hiring safe and careful drivers.

Since the vehicle is used to conduct company business a commercial insurance policy is required, and the company is liable for any injuries. Some examples of company vehicles include buses, vans, small company cars, delivery trucks, utility trucks, construction equipment, semi-trucks, and repair trucks. We have all seen them around, trucks or small cars wrapped in logos, small magnetic business signs, etc. No matter what the company, if they are conducting business when the crash occurred the company should bear the responsibility for the injuries.
Knowing how to identify company vehicles is important. Knowing how to get hiring and employment records is even more important for a successful case.
