Commercial vehicle accidents
Commercial vehicle accident claims
Involvement in a road traffic accident can be traumatic and stressful for you and your loved ones, especially if it wasn’t your fault. You may be driving a commercial vehicle like a truck or a lorry in a collision, and you could be entitled to a replacement hire vehicle or even compensation.
Through our supply partners, Watermans can organise a replacement lorry or truck hire and recover the hire costs directly from the at-fault party’s insurance company on your behalf.
Because we deal with the at-fault party’s insurer directly, there is an alternative to a claim on your own insurance policy and so your No Claims Discount should remain intact.
You may also be suffering from injuries as a result of your accident, and find yourself out of work and experiencing a loss of earnings.
