Why Delivery Truck Accidents Are Different
Multiple Liable Parties: Unlike regular car accidents, delivery truck crashes may involve the driver, the delivery company, vehicle manufacturers, and even third-party contractors.
Commercial Insurance: Delivery companies carry larger insurance policies ($1M+), meaning higher potential compensation for victims.
Driver Pressure: Delivery drivers face tight deadlines and quotas, leading to speeding, distracted driving, and fatigue-related accidents.
Electronic Evidence: GPS tracking, delivery apps, and vehicle cameras can prove negligence—if you act fast before evidence is deleted.

Delivery Truck Accident FAQs
Who is liable in a delivery truck accident? ▼
Liability can fall on multiple parties: the driver, the delivery company (like Amazon, FedEx, or UPS), the vehicle manufacturer, or third-party contractors. Many delivery drivers are technically independent contractors, but companies can still be held liable for negligent hiring, training, or supervision.
How much is my delivery truck accident case worth? ▼
Case values vary widely based on injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Delivery companies typically carry $1M+ in insurance, meaning compensation can be substantial for serious injuries. An experienced attorney can evaluate your specific case.
What should I do immediately after a delivery truck accident? ▼
1) Call 911 and get medical attention. 2) Document the scene—photos of the truck, license plate, company branding, and any damage. 3) Get the driver's information and company name. 4) Report to police. 5) Contact an attorney before speaking with insurance companies.
Are Amazon DSP (Delivery Service Partner) accidents handled differently? ▼
Amazon uses DSPs (independent contractors) for most deliveries, which can complicate liability. However, Amazon may still be held liable for negligent selection of DSPs, setting unrealistic delivery quotas, or maintaining control over delivery operations. An experienced attorney can identify all liable parties.
How long do I have to file a delivery truck accident lawsuit? ▼
The statute of limitations varies by state—typically 2-3 years, but some states like Louisiana and Tennessee only give you 1 year. Evidence like GPS data and delivery logs can be deleted quickly, so it's crucial to act fast.
