Amazon Delivery Driver Accident

Silver Spring Amazon Delivery Driver Accidents Lawyer

Aggressive Amazon Delivery Truck Collision Attorney in Silver Spring, MD

Amazon is the world’s largest online retailer, shipping approximately 18.5 orders every second. Amazon Logistics delivers almost 5 billion packages annually in the U.S. Many orders are delivered within two days of ordering to Prime members, often stretching the limits of realistic delivery schedules.

Like any other driver, Amazon delivery drivers can cause truck accidents. Establishing liability for these collisions can be a complex task, but you must do so to receive compensation if you are injured in a collision with an Amazon truck. When you choose Whitlock Law, LLC to represent you, we will investigate your accident, gather evidence, and work to hold the at-fault party accountable. Se Habla Español.

Understanding the Differences Between Amazon Employees and Independent Contractors

Amazon owns and operates an extensive fleet of delivery trucks, tractor-trailers, and other commercial vehicles. If the delivery driver who hit you is an Amazon employee driving an Amazon-owned truck, liability is somewhat simpler. Vicarious liability makes an employer responsible for the actions of an employee while the worker is performing job-related duties. The driver, Amazon, parts or vehicle manufacturers, and truck maintenance companies may share fault.

Amazon has so many delivery obligations that the company frequently uses third parties to handle part of the load. In fact, most delivery drivers who work for Amazon are independent contractors rather than employees. When these drivers are responsible for causing an accident, it may become more challenging to hold Amazon accountable for your damages. In these cases, the pool of potentially liable parties may expand to include the truck’s owner or leasing company or a third-party company contracted to make Amazon deliveries.

Whitlock Law, LLC understands these distinctions. We know how to handle these investigations and what evidence to seek to establish liability. We will make sure legal issues related to independent contractors are handled correctly, and we will work to ensure that you can recover compensation from Amazon or other parties.

The Nature of the Job May Contribute to Causing Amazon Delivery Truck Crashes

Making deliveries all day is a challenging job, especially with a large volume of orders and short delivery timeframes. The nature of the job may cause Amazon delivery drivers to:

Consult GPS while driving, which is a form of distracted driving
Swerve or stop suddenly
Drive erratically while searching for house numbers
Speed to meet deadlines

The stress involved can also contribute to poor judgment, fatigue, and other unsafe driving behaviors.

Amazon Delivery Driver Accident Injuries and Damages

As with any motor vehicle collision, victims may sustain various injuries, such as:

Organ damage
Whiplash
Fractures, sprains, and strains
Spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries
Airbag and seat belt injuries

Your physical injuries likely require medical treatment, and they may result in time away from work, which can create financial strain for you and your family.

Every victim’s damages are unique, depending on case-specific factors. If you qualify for compensation, you may receive compensation or reimbursement for your losses, such as:

Medical care
Lost income
Property damage
Pain and suffering
Lost enjoyment of life

Whitlock Law, LLC cannot tell you how much your personal injury case is worth until we examine all of these factors, but we can promise that we will fight to help you collect as much as you deserve. If an insurance company refuses to offer a reasonable settlement amount, we can file a civil lawsuit and take your case to trial.
