According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), UPS and FedEx were involved in the following crashes for the 24 months before November 3, 2021:
When a FedEx or UPS truck is involved in a vehicle accident, the company could be liable for damages caused by the accident. However, you would need to prove that the delivery truck driver caused the traffic accident. The evidence may also prove that the company is vicariously liable for the truck driver’s actions.
The causes of delivery truck accidents in Miami vary, but many crashes involve some type of driver negligence.
Factors that could contribute to the cause of a delivery truck accident include:
Other factors could also contribute to the cause of the crash, such as road, traffic, and weather conditions. If the accident involves multiple factors, our attorneys may retain an accident reconstructionist to identify each factor and assign blame to the correct party.
These companies place an enormous amount of pressure on drivers to meet delivery deadlines. Traffic, weather, and other conditions may slow drivers down, causing them to take risks to make up time. Rushing to make deliveries can lead to car crashes.
The injuries a person could sustain in a delivery truck accident depend on the circumstances of the crash. A head-on crash or rollover accident can result in a wrongful death. However, someone could also die in a rear-end accident or side-impact crash.
Injuries that a person may sustain in an accident with a delivery truck include:
Seeking immediate medical treatment after a delivery truck accident is essential for proving a personal injury claim. You must have evidence that you were injured to prove that the crash was the cause of your injuries.
Many trucking companies carry large liability insurance policies to cover accident claims. For example, UPS has a $1 million auto liability insurance policy for its trucks, and FedEx has $5 million liability insurance policy for its vehicles.
Even though the companies have insurance policies, it does not mean they will automatically pay your accident claim. The company may fight your claim by alleging you were partially to blame for the cause of the crash. It may even allege that the accident did not cause your injuries or you are exaggerating your injuries.
These large corporations and their insurance providers have enormous resources to fight accident claims. As a result, an accident victim may not receive the compensation they deserve for damages without an experienced lawyer.
You should be compensated for all damages, including:
The company will not tell you if you are accepting a settlement amount that is far below the value of your damages. You need trusted legal advice to ensure that you are not taken advantage of by a large corporation.
