Delivery drivers are under immense pressure to deliver a certain number of items each day and to do so within a certain timeframe. These delivery deadlines can sometimes cause drivers to make decisions that might not be the best choice. Sadly, this sometimes causes accidents that are responsible for severe injuries. Some of the most common causes of delivery accidents in the Dallas area include the following:
In an effort to make deliveries as quickly as possible, some drivers may take turns too quickly and fail to yield to oncoming traffic. Devastating accidents can result from this type of negligence. Similarly, drivers may choose to double park and run a package inside instead of circling the block and waiting on a parking spot. This behavior can lead to rear-end accidents and major injuries. Even at low speeds, delivery accidents can be severe due to the size of most delivery trucks and vehicles. If you have been injured in an accident with a delivery vehicle, contact Bush & Bush Law Group today and let us help you protect your legal rights.
Delivery accidents can be confusing, especially when it comes to determining who is responsible for damages. There are many potential parties that may be involved in delivery claims, and an experienced attorney can help you determine who is at fault and who should be accountable for your injuries.
First, the delivery truck driver may be at fault. Distracted driving, speeding, or driving under the influence are all factors that should be closely examined to determine whether the delivery driver was at fault. Next, the delivery or trucking company may be responsible for the accident. Failure to perform proper maintenance, failure to keep proper records and logs, or negligent hiring practices are types of behavior that could put liability directly on the delivery company. Additionally, the truck manufacturer or even the company who loaded the cargo could have potential liability.
An experienced Dallas truck accident attorney can fully investigate your accident and help you determine which parties may be legally responsible for your losses. In some cases, there may be more than one party who needs to be held accountable. Contact Bush & Bush Law Group today to let us go to work helping you.
Damages resulting from a delivery accident are usually similar in nature to damages resulting from any other motor vehicle crash. However, the injuries in a delivery accident can be more severe due to the size of some delivery trucks. More severe injuries usually require more medical treatment, more time missed from work, and are more painful. This usually equates to higher monetary compensation. Although no amount of money can fully compensate you for your injuries, a full and fair recovery can help ease the financial burden associated with your accident.
Some of the most common types of damages that are recovered in delivery accidents include:
Additionally, punitive damages may be awarded in some cases. These types of damages are not to compensate the victim for a loss, but rather to punish the defendant for their behavior. Punitive damages are usually only available where “gross negligence” is present. The amount of punitive damages that may be awarded is also generally capped at two times the amount of economic and non-economic damages awarded in the case (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 41.008).
Delivery drivers work hard getting packages where they need to go all across the Dallas area. However, the stringent delivery timeframes imposed by delivery companies can sometimes cause drivers to push the limits of safe driving. Negligent behavior, such as speeding, texting, or failing to yield, can cause accidents that result in injuries to innocent victims. The complicated nature of delivery accidents makes having an experienced attorney on your side a must.
