There are a few key differences between car and motor vehicle accidents that make claims involving the latter more complex than the former. Motor vehicles encompass any and all vehicles on the road, from Onewheel device accidents to two-wheel bicycle and motorcycle accidents, and even accident claims involving pedestrians who were in no vehicle at all but became the victim of an automobile driver’s negligence. Commercial vehicles also fall under the umbrella of a “motor vehicle”, and while they are less likely to be involved in an accident than cars, truck accidents have a higher fatality rate than passenger vehicle accidents. Also, any motor vehicle accident involving a commercial vehicle like a tractor-trailer will usually be very heavily insured and must meet more stringent insurance and operating laws. Motor vehicle accident claims often involve multiple parties, including the vehicle operator, possibly an employer or service team responsible for the motor vehicle’s maintenance, and insurance companies. With so many parties involved, it can be more difficult to determine who was at fault – and in what proportion – when building a case. For this reason, it is important to retain a qualified lawyer to protect your rights and interests after you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident of any kind.
