The Law Offices Alex R. Hernandez Jr. PLLC Reports On Commercial Auto Accidents

Mar 9, 2017

Incidents involving a company vehicle differ from those involving private drivers, AlexHernandezTrialLaw.com announces

Corpus Christi, TX - March 8, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

According to the Texas Department of Transportation, 34,230 commercial motor vehicle accidents occurred in 2015 in the state. Of these accidents, 505 accidents were fatal and 601 individuals were killed as a result of these incidents. When a person is injured or killed in an accident involving a company or government vehicle, the employer may be held liable. This is allowed under the theory of respondeat superior, which states the employer and the employer and driver may both be held accountable for any negligence on the part of the employee. For this reason, any individual harmed in a Company Vehicle Accident should speak to a personal injury attorney immediately.

"The company owner may be held responsible, even in those situations where the company vehicle was being used for personal business. The reason for this is the owner of the vehicle must use due care any time they allow a person to drive a company vehicle. The employer must know the driving record of the employee and be aware of any medical conditions or other factors that could affect their operation of the vehicle," Alex Hernandez, founder of The Law Offices Alex Hernandez Jr. PLLC (www.alexhernandeztriallaw.com), explains.

Other factors play a role in the employer's liability when an accident involves a company car. Attorneys look at the maintenance of the vehicle, a responsibility of the employer, and other entities may also be held accountable. For example, a company car that is leased may mean the leasing company can likewise be sued. This depends on the circumstances of the case, thus legal advice is needed.

"A person who has been injured in an accident of this type or anyone who has lost a loved one in an incident involving a company car is dealing with numerous other things. The focus needs to be on recovery or the grieving process, not on who needs to be held accountable. When individuals work with us, we handle these tasks, so they can work on moving forward with life," Hernandez states.

Thankfully, of the 34,230 accidents involving a commercial vehicle in Texas in 2015, 24,292 lead to no injuries, as reported by the Texas Department of Transportation. For those who were injured, however, many were incapacitated as a result of the injuries. 1,131 crashes were of this type, with 3,229 crashes leading to injuries that were non-incapacitating. This doesn't mean the individual didn't have to deal with medical and psychological issues due to the incident.

"Our attorneys work with clients every day who were injured in a motor vehicle crash. This includes those injured in an incident involving a commercial vehicle, which differs from an accident involving two private parties. Contact us today to discuss your case, as we can provide a plan of action that works for you," Hernandez announces.

76ers’ stars spark 29-point comeback to topple Cavs

PHILADELPHIA — Tyrese Maxey wanted the 76ers to show some fight once a discombobulated offense earned them booming boos and a 29-point hole that threatened to spoil their home opener against Cleveland. So he got into a tussle himself. Once James Harden, a former Sixers fan favorite turned heel, grabbed Maxey's jersey, the Sixers' All-Star guard whipped around and shoved Harden. The two went nose-to-nose- though with Harden's 3-inch height edge, it was more nose-to-beard — as a Sixers crowd instigated a howling profane chant toward the Cavaliers star. Even the new kid on the block was impressed with the pure delirium that enveloped the arena. “It was everything that I dreamed of, and more,” four-time NBA MVP LeBron James said. LeBron already has the 76ers and their fans dreaming of a championship. Yes, it is just two games into a very, very long season, yet the Sixers have already met the moment of an unworldly hype that started over the summer when they traded for Celtics star Jaylen Brown and then reeled in the marquee attraction on the free-agent market in the 41-year-old James. They bullied the NBA champion Knicks in New York and spoiled a banner raising. Then came a win against the Cavaliers — last season's other Eastern Conference finalist — that already may be impossible for the Sixers to top this season, using a 21-minute stretch on Thursday night that whipped a 29-point hole into a nine-point lead and the biggest comeback victory of any team for James in his record 24th season. Final: 76ers 114, Cavaliers 106. “Just basically saying, let's see what we're made of at this point of the season,” James said. “I don't think we've got a locker room full of lay-down guys. There's a lot of game to be played. We answered the call.” Loaded with talent, locked in with a common goal, the Sixers are a sizzle reel of excitement that have put the league on notice they are coming for that title. The Sixers have even put a smile on Joel Embiid's face. The longest-tenured Sixer and official poster boy of The Process — yes, he still heard “trust the process" chants at the free-throw line — found an early joy that had eluded him over recent years as injuries continued to rob him of games and meeting his true potential. A two-time scoring champion, Embiid was in vintage form in the fourth. There was a three-point play, a rebound, a floater, a sweet 17-footer. A seven-point stretch that made it 76ers 96, Cavaliers 95, and the comeback was complete. Philadelphia never trailed again. “I've been here for a long time,” Embiid said, “and that was probably, not the best night, but top-five night for me since I've been in Philadelphia. That was great. I have no words. It was amazing.” Embiid and James — accused Thursday by President Donald Trump of disrespecting the United States by not standing still during the national anthem — even laughed off the Philly boo birds that came late in the second half and the Sixers seemingly on the brink of wasting all the goodwill from their win over the Knicks. “Got the boos,” James said with a laugh. “That was amazing. We deserved it. Then we got the cheers and almost blew the roof off this thing tonight.” Here's one more gut-punch for Cleveland: James conceded that he flirted with the idea of signing in free agency for a third stint with the Cavaliers. James started his career in Cleveland in 2003 and spent seven seasons with the Cavaliers before heading to Miami for four seasons — where he won his first two titles. He then returned to Cleveland for four more seasons, leaving in 2018 to start an eight-season run with the Lakers. James visited with key members of Cleveland's front office over the summer while he considered signing with a team for what he said will be the last stop in his NBA career. “The nature of the meeting, I probably won't discuss much, but it was a consideration for sure,” James said. “As a team trying to build toward a championship, things of that nature, I was trying to decide where I wanted to go with the rest of my career, to finish my career. Lot of consideration, for sure.”
