Commercial Vehicle Accident

Cypress Commercial Vehicle Accident Lawyer for Company-Owned Car & Truck Crashes

Big Vehicles. Bigger Legal Challenges. We Handle Both.

If you’ve been injured by a business-owned vehicle or delivery driver, a Cypress commercial vehicle accident lawyer can help you hold the right parties accountable. At Delvaille Law Firm, we understand how overwhelming these accidents can be—especially when you’re up against a company and its insurance team. Whether it was a delivery van, company car, or Uber driver on the job, we represent injured individuals across Cypress, Houston, and nearby communities. We know how to investigate these complex claims and fight for the compensation you deserve.

What Counts as a Commercial Vehicle Accident in Texas?

A commercial vehicle accident involves any vehicle operated for business purposes. These include:

  • Delivery vans (Amazon, FedEx, UPS)
  • Utility trucks or contractor vehicles
  • Company cars driven by employees
  • Service trucks for HVAC, plumbing, or landscaping
  • Rideshare vehicles (Uber, Lyft) while in service


With Cypress’s rapid growth and proximity to Houston, company-owned vehicles are a regular presence on roads like Fry Road, Barker Cypress, and US 290. Unfortunately, when these vehicles cause accidents, the injuries are often serious—and the legal process can be more difficult than a typical car crash case.

  • If a delivery driver ran a red light while making a delivery, the company may be responsible.

  • If a contractor caused the crash, liability may depend on whether they were truly independent or acting under company control.

  • In Uber or Lyft cases, the driver’s status at the time of the crash (logged in, en route, off-duty) affects which insurance applies.


You may be dealing with multiple insurance policies—the driver’s personal coverage, commercial insurance, and even umbrella policies carried by the company. We sort through the details and ensure all liable parties are identified.

Who’s Responsible When a Company Vehicle Causes an Accident?

If you were hit by a commercial vehicle, the business behind it may be liable. Texas law recognizes respondeat superior, which means employers can be held responsible for the actions of their employees while on the job. That means:

Injured in an Uber or Lyft Crash in the Houston Area? We Can Help

Rideshare accidents have their own insurance rules. If you were hurt in a crash involving an Uber or Lyft driver:

Person driving a vehicle, represented by a steering wheel and a stick figure.

The driver’s personal insurance may not apply if they were logged into the app

A smartphone with a speech bubble containing a taxi icon.

Uber and Lyft offer tiered insurance depending on whether a ride was accepted

Navigating this process is not easy without a lawyer who understands how these policies work

Our firm regularly represents individuals injured in rideshare accidents and knows how to trigger the appropriate coverage based on the driver’s activity.

Why These Cases Are More Complicated Than You Think

Unlike regular car accident claims, commercial vehicle crashes often involve corporate insurers and legal teams who are trained to deny or reduce your claim. They might argue that:


  • The driver wasn’t on the clock
  • The driver was an independent contractor, not an employee
  • The company had no knowledge of the vehicle condition

To counter these tactics, we act quickly to collect evidence:


  • Driver employment status
  • Company maintenance records
  • Vehicle tracking data and dash cam footage
  • Prior complaints or safety violations

What to Do After Being Hit by a Company Vehicle

If you're in a crash involving a commercial vehicle:

  • Call 911 and report the accident

  • Get medical attention, even if injuries seem minor

  • Exchange info, including the company name and insurance details

  • Take photos of damage, vehicle logos, and license plates

  • Do not speak to the company’s insurance rep without legal advice

  • Contact a commercial vehicle accident lawyer as soon as possible


These steps help preserve evidence and protect your rights from the start.

  • Send legal notices to preserve evidence immediately


  • Investigate driver background and employment status


  • Collect video footage, route logs, and maintenance records


  • Work with medical professionals to document injury severity


  • Negotiate or litigate to seek full, fair compensation


We’ve successfully recovered compensation in cases involving delivery drivers, fleet vehicles, and on-duty employees throughout Cypress and northwest Houston.
