Toledo & Detroit Attorneys for Commercial Vehicle Accident Claims
When a commercial vehicle, like a delivery truck, company van, or utility vehicle, causes a crash, the injuries can be severe and the legal path complicated. Whether you were hit in downtown Detroit or along a busy route in Toledo, you deserve a legal team that knows how to cut through red tape and fight for what’s fair.
At Safir Injury Lawyers, we understand the unique liability issues in commercial crashes, and we take swift action to protect your claim.

Why Commercial Vehicle Accidents Require Experienced Legal Help
Unlike typical car accidents, crashes involving commercial vehicles often involve corporate insurers, employer liability issues, and complex evidence.
Here’s how we handle it:
Identify all responsible parties — including drivers, employers, and contractors
Deal directly with corporate insurers who try to deny or minimize claims
Secure critical evidence like maintenance records, GPS logs, black box data
Pursue a lawsuit if insurance negotiations fail to secure a fair settlement
Whether it was a company pickup, a construction vehicle, or a fleet truck, we handle the legal side while you focus on recovery.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
These cases can get complex — especially if the company denies fault. We step in to protect your rights and push for full, fair compensation.
You may be entitled to compensation for:
Emergency and ongoing medical care
Lost wages or diminished future income
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress or trauma-related counseling
Loss of everyday activities
Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Who can be held responsible in a commercial vehicle crash?
The driver, the company they work for, or third-party contractor — we investigate thoroughly to identify all liable parties. Please call our office to speak to a Personal Injury Attorney today.
What’s the statute of limitations for filing a claim in Ohio?
Ohio typically allows two years to file a personal injury claim, but deadlines can be shorter when public entities are involved.
What’s the statute of limitations for filing a claim in Michigan?
You generally have three years — but it can vary depending on the circumstances. Please call our office to speak to a Personal Injury Attorney today.
Do I have a case if the driver was using their personal car for work?
Potentially, yes. Employer liability can still apply — especially for delivery or field service workers. We’ll evaluate it for you.
What if the company’s insurance already contacted me?
Don’t respond until you’ve spoken with a lawyer. These companies often try to get quick, low settlements. We protect your interests.
