What to Do If You Are in a DElivery Or Semi Truck Accident
If you or someone you love has been injured in a collision involving a delivery truck, such as Amazon, UPS, FedEx, or DHL, the expertise of a truck accident attorney is paramount to securing just compensation. These large vehicles contribute to an alarming number of injuries and fatalities on the road annually, with approximately 5,000 deaths and 120,000 injuries.
When a passenger vehicle meets a loaded cargo truck on the road, the aftermath is usually devastating due to the massive weight disparity. Moreover, victims often face difficulties in acquiring due compensation as many trucks operate under big corporations.
Main Causes of Delivery Truck Accidents:
- Excessive speed for road conditions
- Following too closely, leading to rear-end collisions
- Poor vehicle maintenance, including faulty brakes
- The truck’s brakes are worn or otherwise incapable of stopping the truck in time to avoid a collision.
- Driver fatigue from inadequate rest
- Distraction or inattentiveness
- Drug use to stay awake
- Making an illegal maneuver.
- Illegal maneuvers or failure to yield entering a roadway or making a turn.
- Loss of control due to shifting loads or bad weather
