Frisco UPS Truck Accidents Attorney
Seek Compensation for UPS Truck Accidents With Experienced Legal Advocacy
Accidents involving UPS trucks and delivery vehicles can be devastating. UPS delivery trucks are larger than most passenger vehicles, and they can inflict serious injuries on others in a collision. In addition to vehicles used to deliver packages to homes and businesses, UPS uses tractor-trailer trucks to ship items over long distances. When truck accidents occur on major interstate freeways, local highways, or roads in and around Frisco, people in other vehicles are likely to suffer serious harm. To ensure that people injured in accidents with UPS trucks can receive full value compensation to which the law entitles them, it is important to work with a skilled and experienced personal injury attorney.

Risks of Injuries in UPS Truck Accidents
The demand for package delivery has grown significantly over the past couple of decades. As more people shop for products online, the number of items being shipped and delivered to homes and businesses has increased. People expect fast, reliable delivery when they order products or send items to others, and to meet these demands, UPS has put more trucks on the road. Unfortunately, this has inevitably led to an increase in accidents involving delivery trucks and other UPS vehicles.
UPS truck accidents can lead to multiple types of serious, life-altering injuries. Collisions with large, heavy commercial delivery trucks can cause serious harm or death to the occupants of other vehicles. Even when passenger vehicles are equipped with safety systems such as seat belts, airbags, crumple zones, and reinforced frames, the force of a collision with a larger vehicle can result in catastrophic injuries. Some common injuries sustained in these types of accidents include broken bones, spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), burns, organ damage, and internal bleeding. In some of the most serious cases, injuries may result in paralysis due to nerve damage or amputation of limbs that are crushed in a collision. Victims may be left permanently disabled after an accident with a UPS truck, or a collision may even result in a person's wrongful death.
While car and truck wrecks involving UPS vehicles can occur for a variety of reasons, they can often be attributed to negligence on the part of UPS drivers or the company itself. Drivers may commit traffic violations in order to ship or deliver items more quickly, and this can increase the likelihood of dangerous collisions. Mistakes may also occur due to driver fatigue or inadequate training, or drivers may be distracted as they look up directions or review delivery schedules on electronic devices. Inadequate maintenance of UPS trucks can also be a significant safety issue that can lead to accidents.
