Lewisville FedEx Accidents Attorney

FedEx Delivery Accident Lawyer Serving Denton County, TX

More and more people are doing the bulk of their shopping online. People will be less likely to choose to wander a shopping mall in the hopes of finding clothing they like when they can simply type in a few keywords and find exactly what they want in moments. The online shopping industry—and with it, necessarily, the shipping industry—exploded during the pandemic when in-person shopping was not an option for many. Unfortunately, this means more trucks on the road and more stops for those trucks. Busy and hurried FedEx drivers may not be the safest drivers. If you have recently been injured in an accident with a FedEx truck, you are likely entitled to substantial compensation.

Why FedEx Delivery Drivers Can Be Dangerous

Unlike some Amazon drivers who use their personal vehicles, FedEx drivers are trained professionals in company trucks. However, this does not necessarily mean that they are safer drivers, especially during busy seasons when drivers may be pressed to deliver large numbers of packages in an unreasonable time frame. Common causes of FedEx delivery accidents include:

• Unreasonable expectations - Many shipping companies set unrealistic expectations for their drivers, demanding a delivery pace that cannot be safely maintained. This may push drivers who would like to prioritize safety to learn reckless habits like not stopping completely at stop signs or using their phones while driving.
• Distractions - Hurried drivers may feel the need to multitask by operating their GPS systems or answering work-related messages while their trucks are moving. Distracted drivers are prone to causing rear-end collisions in particular.
• DUI/DWI - Some drivers turn to drugs or alcohol to help them cope with the pressure of their jobs, or they may use stimulants to help them keep up a fast pace. The use of any intoxicating substances can make it impossible for delivery drivers to operate their vehicles safely.
• Inexperienced drivers - Because the shipping industry has exploded in recent years, companies like FedEx have been forced to hire a large number of newly trained drivers. Inexperience combined with a rushed pace can lead to dangerous mistakes.

While most FedEx deliveries are completed safely, when there is an accident, it tends to be serious. Personal vehicles offer little protection when hit by a vehicle five times their size or more. Sadly, catastrophic injuries and even wrongful death are not uncommon results.

What Compensation Can I Recover?

The aftermath of a motor vehicle accident can be extremely costly. Fortunately, filing a personal injury lawsuit can help you ensure that those costs fall to the at-fault party instead of you personally. You can recover compensation for a few different types of damages, including:

• Healthcare costs, including future expenses related to ongoing treatment,
• Lost income, including future lost income,
• Property damage,
• Noneconomic losses like pain and suffering or loss of enjoyment in life.

The purpose of compensation is to leave you in the same position you were in before the accident, to the extent that is possible. While a financial award cannot repair your injuries, it should enable you to get any care you need and maintain your lifestyle while you are unable to work. Our attorneys know how to successfully advocate for full compensation on your behalf, including when negotiating settlements with insurance companies.
