Helping Hands for FedEx Truck Accident Legal Matters in Allen, TX

FedEx trucks are built to haul heavy delivery loads. As a result, when they crash, anyone else involved is likely to suffer greater damage than the truck and its driver. Therefore, it is not uncommon for victims of auto wrecks involving FedEx trucks to find themselves needing significant medical care, missing time from work to heal, and otherwise reeling from the trauma of the experience. If you have been hurt due to a crash involving a FedEx truck, this reality is likely all too familiar to you.

Do You Need to Hire a Lawyer After a FedEx Accident?

Even when accident victims are sure that they understand what transpired in the lead-up to a crash, there are often invisible forces at work that cannot be fully known or understood until an attorney has evaluated the situation in question. For example, a police report may indicate that you were partially responsible for the crash because you admitted that you slammed on your brakes due to slowing traffic before being rear-ended by the FedEx truck or you were distracted by your sick child right before the collision with the FedEx truck. However, neither you nor the police may have known that the FedEx truck had faulty brakes or that the FedEx driver had not slept in 36 hours.

The possibility that other issues may have played a role in a crash means that even victims who believe that they were responsible for an accident should retain a qualified personal injury law firm. We leave no stone unturned in proving liability against the FedEx driver and company. This can include crash scene inspections, downloading the black box of the FedEx truck, obtaining cell phone data and driver logs of the FedEx truck operator.

What if You Are Partially Liable for a FedEx Accident?

Many accident victims are concerned that partial liability for a collision will make it impossible for them to recover compensation. However, in Texas, accident victims can recover damages from other responsible parties as long as the victims themselves are no more than 50% at fault. This means that even if you were partially responsible for your crash, seeking compensation may be well worth your while.

The way in which partial liability may impact your case involves the reduction of your compensation award based on the percentage of fault assigned to you. For example, if the sum total of your damages – medical bills, lost wages, physical pain, loss of enjoyment of life, physical impairment, mental anguish, loss of consortium, disfigurement, etc. – has been valued at $2,000,000, and you have been assigned 25 percent of the blame for the FedEx truck wreck, the other parties involved in the case may be required to pay for a percentage of your damages. The driver and FedEx may be determined to be partially responsible for your harm, and they may be liable for compensating you for $1,500,000 of your losses, while you will remain responsible for the remaining 25 percent ($500,000).
