Amazon Delivery Vehicles Can Cause Catastrophic Injuries in Sacramento Crashes

While Amazon has some of its own vehicles, most of its delivery operations are outsourced. Amazon hires large trucking services and smaller logistics companies to handle most of its deliveries. Amazon also hires Flex drivers to use their own vehicles to deliver packages around Sacramento.

While the large tractor-trailers hauling Amazon packages are most likely to cause catastrophic trauma in a motor vehicle accident, any Amazon delivery vehicle can cause severe injuries under the right circumstances.

At Singleton Schreiber, our Sacramento car accident attorneys advocate for crash victims who’ve suffered:

Even low-impact collisions with Amazon delivery vehicles can cause serious injuries - some of which might be delayed injuries. So, always make it a point to seek prompt medical care as soon as you can after your collision with an Amazon van. A thorough medical evaluation will help to ensure that your injuries are properly diagnosed, treated, and documented for future litigation.

Who’s Liable For an Amazon Delivery Vehicle Accident?

While your first instinct might be to sue Amazon for an accident involving one of its delivery trucks, Amazon may not be liable for the wreck. Most Amazon drivers are independently contracted, which means Amazon sidesteps liability when a driver’s negligence causes a traffic accident.

However, you will be able to seek compensation from anyone whose negligence or wrongful actions directly or indirectly contribute to an Amazon delivery accident.

This could include a/an:

Since California has a fault-based insurance system, you’ll typically seek compensation from the at-fault party’s insurance company first. The state has strict minimum insurance requirements, so there’s a good chance your damages will be covered in full. However, if your injuries are catastrophic, your costs might exceed what the insurance company is willing to pay. You can take additional legal action in these situations by suing a liable party directly.

Our Amazon delivery accident attorneys in Sacramento will conduct a thorough investigation of your crash and, with the help of expert witnesses, determine who should be held accountable for your injuries. Once liability is clear, we won’t hesitate to put the full force of our law firm’s national resources behind your fight for compensation.

What Causes Most Amazon Delivery Accidents?

Driving for Amazon is a demanding job. Drivers have to deliver hundreds of packages across the city of Sacramento every day, meeting strict deadlines in the process. Considering that most Amazon delivery drivers aren’t professionals, it’s easy for the stresses of the job to interfere with their ability to do it safely.

Minor mistakes and lapses in judgment can set the stage for serious motor vehicle accidents.

Some commonly cited causes of Amazon delivery accidents include:

When we take your case, our Sacramento, CA personal injury lawyers will carefully investigate your crash to thoroughly understand why it happened and how it could have been avoided.

What Compensation Can I Recover After an Amazon Delivery Accident in Sacramento, CA?

Whether you go through insurance or file a car accident lawsuit, you’ll typically be able to recover compensatory damages after an accident with an Amazon delivery van or truck.

Compensatory damages can help you handle crash-related costs and harder-to-value trauma, including:

California limits the amount of time you’ll have to initiate a claim for damages. Typically, a two-year statute of limitations applies to most auto accident cases. If you miss the filing deadline, you lose the right to recover compensation from a trucking company, a Flex driver, or an insurance company.
