Experienced Amazon Delivery Driver Accident Lawyers for Residents of Rowlett, TX

Every day, Amazon sends out large fleets of vans and trucks to make deliveries. The high demand for Amazon products, plus the burden of same-day deliveries, means that these delivery drivers are constantly racing against deadlines, increasing the risks of accidents.

We have the resources, knowledge, and experience to handle cases against Amazon, and if necessary, we are prepared to take cases to trial to make sure the responsible parties are held accountable for your injuries.

How Does Vicarious Liability Work in Amazon Accidents?

After an accident with an Amazon driver, you might assume that the company is responsible for paying for your damages. However, this is not always the case. Amazon distances itself from its delivery drivers by claiming that the drivers are contractors, not employees. This small distinction makes a big difference, since companies generally cannot be held liable for the acts of contractors.

Fortunately, all Amazon drivers carry liability coverage for injuries and property damage in the event of an accident. If this is not enough to cover your damages, however, you may have other options.

Although Amazon treats its drivers as contractors, this does not absolve the company of all liability. It may be possible to hold Amazon liable for injuries caused by its contracted drivers if it is shown that the company had a high degree of control over the driver. Amazon dictates where its drivers go, what routes they take, and the branding of the driver's vehicles. If you can demonstrate that there is a link between Amazon's policies and an accident caused by an independently contracted driver, you may be able to get compensation from the company.

Damages in an Amazon Accident

At Burress Injury Law, we want to help you secure maximum compensation for your damages. To get an accurate appraisal for your claim, you will have to get a full examination from a medical professional. Our attorneys help you get top-quality care for your injuries to diagnose any underlying conditions, such as traumatic brain injuries or whiplash.

Aside from medical expenses, your claim for compensation can account for other damages from the accident, including a loss of income or pain and suffering. We will negotiate aggressively on your behalf, refusing to accept low settlement offers that do not fully address your damages.
