Who is At Fault in a UPS Accident?

Determining fault, and therefore liability, is a critical element of any personal injury case. A standard car accident may only have one party at fault, that being the other driver. In a UPS accident, however, multiple parties could be held responsible for your damages depending on the circumstances. These responsible parties may include:

• The UPS driver. All it takes is a simple act of negligence to cause a crash, and UPS drivers are no less fallible than other motorists in this regard. Negligent behaviors may include driving while distracted or fatigued, which adversely affect the UPS driver's ability to react to other motorists. Reckless acts like speeding or making unsafe turns may also constitute fault.
• Third-party mechanics. In some cases, the improper maintenance of a UPS delivery truck can cause an accident, such as a brake failure or a tire going out. Often, maintenance of these vehicles is entrusted to another company that can be named at fault.
• UPS. In Texas, employers can be held responsible for the actions of their employees under the law of vicarious liability, as long as the employee was performing his or her role as tasked. UPS may also be held liable if the company's business practices contributed toward an accident, such as inadequate vetting of drivers.

The attorneys at Burress Injury Law are prepared to investigate fault at every level, fighting to hold all responsible parties accountable for your damages. We will collect police reports, compile witness statements, review any existing video footage, and utilize crash reconstruction technology so that we can build a strong foundation for your case.

Damages in a UPS Accident

Some people may assume that a personal injury lawsuit can only address your hospital bills. However, a lawsuit can compensate you for much more than that. If the accident put you out of work for a significant period of time or left you unable to return to work outright, you can be compensated for your lost wages and the loss of your future income.

Depending on the accident, your case might also address your pain and suffering, also known as non-economic damages. If you are unsure about what damages you can collect, the attorneys at Burress Injury Law can sit down with you to discuss the scope of your case.
