Delivery Truck Accident Attorneys

Applying Legal & Medical Experience to Help the Injured

Delivery trucks drive through neighborhoods and maneuver around motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and children. They make frequent stops while multitasking, watching the road as well as reading house numbers for their next deliveries. Sometimes, delivery trucks cause accidents due to driver negligence, improper truck maintenance, or lack of training. When this happens, victims who suffer any type of personal injury can file a claim against the responsible party.

If you were injured in a collision with a delivery truck of any kind, Cullan & Cullan may be able to help you. We represent victims and families of victims who have been injured or lost their lives in serious truck accidents across Arizona, and beyond.

FMCSA Regulations & Delivery Trucks

Similar to 18-wheelers and tractor-trailers, delivery trucks must follow Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. These standards include:

  • Hours-of-service restrictions
  • Maintenance and repair requirements
  • Driver training requirements
  • Drug and alcohol prevention programs for drivers

When a driver or delivery company recklessly disregards these rules, it can cause deadly accidents.

Causes of Delivery Truck Accidents

Big corporations such as UPS and FedEx train their employees rigorously, emphasizing the importance of driver safety. Although delivery truck drivers pass tests for their jobs, even the most practiced driver can make a deadly mistake—texting and driving, inattention, distracted driving, fatigued driving, or even driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. These workers carry the responsibility of driving near vulnerable pedestrians, but some fail to act appropriately behind the wheel.

Delivery truck accidents may not always result from driver errors. In some cases, a delivery truck may collide with another vehicle, bicyclist, or pedestrian due to improper maintenance. Freight shipping trucks, service trucks, commercial trucks, and delivery trucks abide by federal and state safety standards. These standards require companies to ensure the operational safety of each vehicle in their fleets. If a crew improperly maintains a truck, it could lead to part failure and an accident. Identifying the cause of an accident is the first step toward obtaining compensation for damages.

If You’ve Been Involved in a Delivery Truck Collision

Delivery truck accidents are often severe, involving vulnerable pedestrians, such as bicyclists and children. Large freight shipping truck accidents can result in major traffic accidents on major and minor highways, leading to pileups, rollovers, and high-speed collisions. Victims in delivery truck accidents can suffer crushing injuries and internal bleeding from falling under the tires as well as a range of traumatic injuries if involved in a car accident with a delivery truck. These damages often lead to permanent disabilities, lost quality of life, and immense pain and suffering.

If you or a loved one has been needlessly injured or wrongfully killed in a commercial vehicle crash or delivery truck accident, you have options. Seek medical attention for your injuries immediately, and keep detailed records of your hospital bills, treatment recommendations, and other documents. Then, call a Phoenix truck accident attorney to help you preserve the evidence in the case and file a claim against the negligent party. Identifying the person or business responsible involves in-depth accident investigation.

This process can be extensive depending on the circumstances and may include:

  • Photos of the crash scene
  • Gathering police reports
  • Witness interviews
  • Expert key witness testimony
  • Analysis of company record logs and computer data
  • Examination of the driver’s abilities, skills, and history
  • Analysis of cell phone calls and texts

An experienced lawyer at Cullan & Cullan can walk you through the process and help you start your lawsuit against the defendant, whether it’s the driver of the vehicle, the owner, or the entire company. Arizona follows strict commercial truck laws under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). When someone breaks these rules, resulting in an accident, the law is on the victim’s side. These cases can be complex and deserve the attention of an experienced personal injury lawyer to ensure the best settlement for victims.
