The Dangers of Delivery Vehicles
Our experienced trial lawyers know what to look for when investigating a delivery truck accident. We act quickly to obtain not only police reports of the incident, but the driver's log books, data from the "black box" recorder, maintenance and inspection records, and statements from any witnesses. As necessary, we often hire specialists in truck crash reconstructions to help prove liability.
Delivery drivers cover a lot of miles. Just from a statistical standpoint, that raises the chances they will cause a crash. And drivers of a FedEx truck or UPS truck, for example, have added pressure to meet deadlines, resulting in carelessness when pulling out, backing up or turning at intersections, not to mention speeding and driving too fast for road conditions. Because of the wear and tear of all those starts and stops, tires and brakes may be in poor condition. We also check whether warning chimes (backing up signals) were in working order.
Not all delivery truck accidents are collisions. Angotti & Straface represented the family of a business owner who was backed over by a delivery driver and the family of a funeral home owner who was run over by a truck delivering caskets. We can handle any commercial transport accident claim, including those involving furniture moving vans, taxi and airport shuttles, courier trucks and package delivery vehicles — even pizza delivery accidents.
