Serious Legal Representation For UPS Accident Victims in Melissa, Texas

In Melissa and other cities in Collin County, Texas, there are high amounts of traffic, which includes delivery trucks operated by United Parcel Service (UPS). These vehicles are large and heavy, and because of their size and shape, their drivers must take extra care to ensure they can view the roads around them and maintain safety. With so many delivery vehicles on the road, more and more traffic accidents involving these vehicles are taking place. Accidents involving UPS trucks can lead to severe injuries that may affect victims financially. At Burress Injury Law, we have the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to help victims of these accidents recover compensation for their damages.

Types of Accidents Involving UPS Drivers

UPS trucks can inflict a great deal of damage in collisions, and people in other vehicles are likely to be injured. Some common types of UPS delivery truck accidents include:

• Rear-end collisions: A UPS truck may crash into a vehicle in front of it. These accidents are often the result of distracted driving, speeding, or following too closely. Due to the large size and weight of UPS trucks, the impact can cause serious injuries to the occupants of the smaller vehicle.
• T-bone accidents: Side-impact collisions may happen when a UPS truck strikes the side of another vehicle, typically at an intersection. These accidents can occur if a UPS driver runs a red light, fails to yield the right of way, or makes a dangerous turn. The force of a T-bone collision can cause severe injuries to those on the side of the impacted vehicle.
• Motorcycle accidents: Motorcycles are particularly vulnerable in collisions with larger vehicles like UPS trucks. A UPS driver's failure to check blind spots, improper lane changes, or sudden stops can result in catastrophic accidents with motorcyclists. The disparity in size between a motorcycle and a truck and the lack of protection for a motorcyclist may lead to life-threatening injuries for the rider.
• Pedestrian accidents: These accidents may occur if a UPS driver fails to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks, backs up without checking for pedestrians, or is distracted while driving in residential areas. Pedestrians hit by large trucks can suffer serious or fatal injuries.
• Other types of accidents: UPS trucks can also be involved in various other types of collisions, such as rollovers, head-on collisions, or multi-vehicle pileups. Negligence by UPS drivers when traveling on highways, traversing local roads, navigating busy traffic, or stopping to make deliveries can put others at risk of being injured.

Demonstrating Negligence by UPS or its Drivers

To recover compensation for injuries sustained in a UPS truck accident, it will usually be necessary to demonstrate that a person was injured because of someone else's negligence. Our experienced attorneys can help ensure that all issues related to negligence and liability will be handled correctly. We can help by:

• Gathering evidence: We can collect and preserve vital evidence, including accident reports, witness statements, and video footage. We may also work with accident reconstruction experts to determine exactly what happened and who was responsible.
• Proving driver negligence: We will take all necessary steps to show that a UPS driver acted carelessly, violated traffic laws, failed to follow safety procedures, or engaged in other forms of negligence.
• Establishing corporate negligence: In some cases, UPS may be found to be negligent due to factors such as improper vehicle maintenance, failure to adhere to safety regulations, or inadequate driver training.
• Negotiating with insurance companies: An injury victim may be covered by insurance policies maintained by UPS or an individual driver. We will negotiate with insurance companies to ensure that settlement offers are fair while fully covering our client's damages. We know how to stand up to the tactics insurance companies may use, and we will not accept any offers that fail to address our client's needs.
• Litigating in court: If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take a case to court, presenting a compelling, evidence-backed case to secure the best possible outcome for our client.
