Van Alstyne Amazon Accidents Attorney

Reputable Texas Attorneys for Amazon Accidents in Van Alstyne, Texas

In our daily lives, we have gotten used to seeing Amazon drivers everywhere, especially during the holiday season when everyone is rushing to buy gifts. But what happens when one of these delivery drivers strikes your vehicle? The complex questions of liability might deter you from seeking out compensation for your injuries, but a personal injury lawyer can assist you through the complicated process of filing a claim against Amazon drivers. Burress Injury Law has been in business since 2008, and in that time, we have secured millions of dollars in settlements with some of the largest verdicts in the state of Texas.

Who Is Liable in Amazon Accidents?

If you have been injured in an accident with an Amazon delivery truck, you might assume that the company itself is responsible for paying out your damages. However, this is not strictly the case. Amazon does not directly employ its drivers, instead relying on third-party contractors to handle all deliveries. This does not mean you are out of luck, as these drivers are still required to carry personal insurance in addition to the company's liability policy.

There is also a narrow avenue in which Amazon can be held liable for a driver's accident. If an investigation finds that Amazon had significant control over the delivery driver, then you may be able to sue the company directly. Our lawyers are not afraid to hold corporations responsible for damages, as we will look for evidence of Amazon's fault in the accident.

Common Causes of Amazon Delivery Accidents

Amazon drivers are placed under pressure to hit a certain quota of deliveries in a day, encouraging unsafe driving practices. These accidents are often caused by:

• Speeding. An Amazon driver may exceed a posted speed limit to make it to an address on time, reducing his or her ability to react to sudden obstacles.
• Fatigued driving. Delivery drivers may be overworked during peak seasons, resulting in dulled or drowsy senses.
• Distracted driving. Besides the common distraction of a cell phone at the wheel, an Amazon driver could have multiple communication devices and maps pulled up en route to a delivery, interfering with his or her attention to the road.

What Damages Can I Collect From an Amazon Accident?

Depending on the extent of your injuries, a personal injury claim could address several different complications after an accident. For instance, if you are on the receiving end of a T-bone accident with an Amazon delivery driver, you might walk away with a broken arm that inhibits your ability to work for several weeks. In that case, you could collect compensation for your lost wages as well as your medical expenses.

In more serious accidents, you may be left with a catastrophic injury that affects the rest of your life, such as a traumatic brain injury. A personal injury lawsuit can address your long-term medical care, as well as your pain and suffering as a result of the accident.
