Navigating the Complexities of UPS Accidents with our Texas Lawyers

UPS is one of the largest package delivery companies in the world, with numerous delivery trucks on the road every day. While these vehicles are essential for ensuring packages reach their destinations on time, accidents involving UPS delivery trucks can occur due to various factors, such as driver negligence, vehicle malfunctions, or hazardous road conditions. If you have been injured in a UPS delivery truck accident, it is crucial to understand what you can do to hold the responsible parties accountable.

Proving Liability in UPS Delivery Truck Accidents

In order to establish liability and obtain full compensation for your injuries following a UPS delivery truck accident, several elements must be proven:

1. Duty of care: It must be demonstrated that the party being held liable owed a duty of care towards you as an injured individual. In this case, the UPS driver and other parties such as maintenance crews or supervisors may have a duty of care to ensure the safe operation and maintenance of their vehicles.
2. Breach of duty: The injured person needs to show that this duty of care was breached by demonstrating negligent behavior or actions. For instance, if the driver was texting while driving or if UPS did not properly maintain a vehicle according to industry standards, this would likely be considered a violation of the duty of care.
3. Causation: There must be evidence establishing a direct causal link between the breach of duty by the responsible party and your injuries. This means showing that you sustained harm specifically due to their negligence.
4. Damages: Lastly, you need to provide proof regarding your physical injuries, emotional distress endured due to the accident (e.g., post-traumatic stress disorder), loss of consortium, disfigurement (if any) property damage, medical expenses (past and future), or any other recoverable damages you suffered because of the liable party's actions or negligence.

Investigating a UPS delivery truck accident can be complex, especially when there are numerous potential contributing factors. At Burress Injury Law, our attorneys are extremely experienced in handling these types of cases, and we understand the importance of thorough investigation and gathering evidence in order to support your claim.

Potential Injuries in UPS Delivery Truck Accidents

UPS delivery truck accidents can result in multiple types of serious or catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight of these vehicles. Some injuries that are commonly sustained in such accidents include:

1. Whiplash: The sudden impact from a collision can cause strain or sprain that may result in pain, stiffness, headaches, and restricted movement in the neck area.
2. Bone fractures: Due to the force involved in an accident with a large delivery truck like those operated by UPS, victims often suffer broken bones. These may include fractured ribs from seatbelt-related injuries during impact or more severe breaks requiring surgery.
3. Spinal cord injuries: Collisions can cause spinal cord damage that may lead to partial or total paralysis below the injury site. These catastrophic injuries require extensive medical treatment and a lifelong need for medical care.
4. Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries (TBI): If a victim's head strikes hard surfaces during an accident, or if a person is subject to violent jolts that result in brain tissue damage, traumatic brain injuries can occur. TBIs can vary significantly in severity, but they commonly involve memory loss issues and cognitive impairments that can impact day-to-day activities.
5. Internal injuries: An impact may cause damage to internal organs like the liver, spleen, or lungs. Internal bleeding can also occur and necessitate immediate medical attention.
6. Cuts, bruises, and soft tissue injuries: Victims of UPS delivery truck accidents often suffer lacerations and bruises from the impact with vehicle components or loose cargo. Injuries like strains and sprains are also prevalent in these accidents, and they can result in long-term pain and mobility limitations.

It is important to note that even seemingly minor injuries should not be disregarded. Sometimes, symptoms may emerge gradually after an accident, or they may seem insignificant initially, but they may have long-lasting effects on your health and quality of life. Seeking prompt medical attention following a UPS delivery truck accident is essential for accurate diagnosis, proper treatment, documentation of injuries, and supporting your personal injury claim.
