Why Do Amazon Van and Truck Accidents Happen in Tampa?
Delivering packages can be stressful. Amazon truck drivers are under enormous pressure to deliver packages on a tight schedule. The pressure to keep an unreasonable schedule can cause drivers to make mistakes. Those mistakes can lead to property damage, bodily injury, and wrongful death.
Common causes of accidents involving Amazon vehicles include, but are not limited to:
- Distractions from looking at delivery schedules and GPS results
- Lack of training for drivers and inexperienced delivery drivers
- Fatigued and drowsy drivers who work long shifts and days without a break
- Sudden stops and parking in spots that are not intended for delivery vehicles
- Cargo that comes loose or shifts because of improper loading or securing of loads
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Lack of maintenance for delivery vans and trucks
- Backing up accidents
- Tire blowouts
If you are involved in an Amazon truck accident, call 911 and wait for police and emergency medical services to arrive. Seek medical attention as soon as possible and contact Catania and Catania Injury Lawyers for a free consultation to discuss your next steps.

What Compensation Can I Receive for an Accident Claim Against Amazon?
Suppose the Amazon delivery driver is responsible for causing the crash, you may be entitled to compensation for damages from the driver, Amazon, and any other party who contributed to the cause of the crash.
The types of damages you could receive include:
- Pain and suffering caused by physical injuries
- Medical expenses and cost of treatment of injuries
- Occupational, physical, emotional, and rehabilitation therapies
