Not so much a commercial use VS. private, as proper hitching and brakes!!
Based on the OP, while the hitch weight rating was exceeded, it was the incorrect, inferior or non attachment of the safety chains, and the lack of break away brakes on the trailer.
Commercial use has strict compliance laws. Private use negligence has to be proven, Intent to behave unsafely.
