Why Do Amazon Delivery Truck Accidents Happen?Amazon delivery trucks are a regular sight on the streets and highways of Southwest Florida. The company’s dark-hued fleet includes 40,000 semi-trucks and 30,000 delivery vans. Amazon also uses UPS and other rival carriers to deliver goods. UPS reported 11.8% of its revenue from Amazon deliveries in 2023.
Whether you are driving a car or riding your bike, we all face hazards on the road. Careless driving, harsh weather, and distractions can lead to a severe crash.
However, the dangers can seem far worse when you get into an accident with a tractor-trailer, delivery truck, or commercial vehicle. Their tall and boxy frames can make it hard for drivers to see passenger vehicles, motorcycles, or bicycles traveling next to them. These large trucks can be heavy and hard to stop, especially when carrying cargo. If a driver must swerve to avoid an obstacle in the road, the truck could tip or roll over if the cargo weight shifts.
Beyond the large truck’s size and weight, there are other reasons that an Amazon oversized truck crash can happen, including:
You might sustain severe and life-altering damage caused by an accident involving an Amazon delivery truck or commercial vehicle. If the damage is extensive, you'll likely need significant medical treatment, like surgery, specialized care, and hospitalization. When you are badly hurt, your family’s finances could suffer because you might not be able to work until you’ve healed.
Even though you may have suffered significant harm from an Amazon truck crash, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll be compensated for the damage sustained. Instead, you must build a claim demonstrating that the accident happened because another party was negligent.
Working with a Cape Coral large truck crash lawyer can help you build a defensible claim that shows the following:
Not only can an attorney help build your claim, but they can also evaluate the role of other parties in relation to the accident. Sometimes, multiple parties share blame for the accident. So, a lawyer may look to other parties beyond the truck driver, such as Amazon, the cargo's owner, or a third-party logistics company to build your case.
If you can build a case showing that your injuries resulted because of another party's negligence, you could be compensated for your medical costs, property damage, and missed paychecks.
Sometimes, an Amazon truck accident can leave you with permanent or life-changing injuries. You could be awarded compensation for future medical needs and lost income if your future earning potential has been disrupted.
When the accident has left you in significant pain, or your family life has been affected, you might be compensated for such non-economic costs as loss of enjoyment, mental anguish, and pain and suffering.
