Anna, Texas Amazon Accidents Lawyers

Attorneys for Amazon Delivery Driver Accidents in Anna, TX

The near-constant presence of Amazon in our daily lives means there are a lot of delivery drivers working for the company on the road at a given time. Unfortunately, accidents happen, and when an Amazon driver causes one, determining liability and recovering compensation may be easier said than done. Fortunately, you can recoup the costs of medical bills and other damages with the help of a personal injury lawyer who can negotiate with insurance companies and Amazon.

The attorneys at Burress Injury Law are seasoned professionals who have taken on large corporations when representing clients. We will not budge until we have obtained the full compensation our clients deserve. Because of this approach, we have won millions of dollars in settlements for our clients.

Causes of Amazon Driver Accidents

Any kind of negligent behavior behind the wheel can constitute fault in an accident. Amazon drivers are often pushed to meet strict quotas in a short amount of time, which can motivate them to drive unsafely. Negligent behaviors when making deliveries may include, but are not limited to:

• Speeding: An Amazon delivery driver may exceed the posted speed limits so they can reach an address on time.
• Unsafe/Improper Lane Changes: A driver may rush to get into a turn lane before a light, or they may weave in and out of traffic to try to get ahead. This may lead them to cause an accident when changing lanes without looking.
• Distracted Driving: An Amazon driver may have to look up directions on their route and communicate with the company at the same time, which can lead to inattentive, dangerous driving.
• Following Too Closely: An Amazon delivery driver who is in a hurry may drive too close to another car's bumper. This may make it impossible to reduce speed and avoid a rear end collision.
• Driving While Fatigued: Long hours and physical labor may leave an Amazon driver exhausted, which can affect their reaction times and lead to other mistakes while behind the wheel.

Liability in Amazon Driver Accidents

You may make the straightforward assumption that if you are struck by an Amazon delivery driver, Amazon can be held liable for damages. However, this is not always the case. Many Amazon drivers work as independent contractors, or they are hired by third-party delivery companies. Amazon may claim that it should not be held liable for the actions of drivers who are not employees of the company. Fortunately, you may receive coverage through the driver's liability insurance policy. The auto insurance policy providing coverage for drivers working under the Amazon Flex program may also apply in your case, and it may provide up to $1 million of coverage.

However, it is still entirely possible to receive compensation directly through Amazon. Our skilled personal injury lawyers can make the case that Amazon had control over the driver, with a relationship more akin to employer and employee. We will challenge Amazon directly and identify other potential sources of compensation to ensure that you get what you are owed.
