How Catania & Catania Injury Lawyers Can Help After a UPS or FedEx Delivery Truck Accident in Tampa

Dealing with the aftermath of any accident is stressful. But when a large trucking company is involved, things get complicated. Their insurance companies are no strangers to claims like yours. They will act quickly to look for ways to deny your claim or pressure you to take a quick settlement that’s less than what your case is worth. That’s where we can help.

When you hire our Tampa truck accident lawyers, we’ll:

  • Launch an investigation into your delivery truck accident to determine the cause
  • Collect evidence to support your claim for damages, such as witness statements, video footage, maintenance and delivery logs, and more
  • Review your medical records and calculate your damages to include the maximum possible value
  • Handle all communications with insurance companies
  • Negotiate for a settlement that fairly compensates you for your injuries and suffering
  • Present your case to a jury if necessary

We’re fierce advocates for individuals who have been injured due to someone else’s negligence. Contact us online or call today to schedule a free case evaluation to see how a Tampa truck accident attorney can help.

What Causes FedEx & UPS Delivery Truck Accidents?

Delivery drivers are under extreme pressure to meet deadlines. We count on them to bring us online orders, gifts from family, and important documents or materials for our businesses. But we want them to do it safely. It’s not always their fault, but most accidents are caused by someone’s carelessness or recklessness.

Common causes of FedEx & UPS truck crashes are:

We frequently hire experts to determine and support the exact cause so that we can hold all responsible parties financially accountable. That helps you get the full amount of compensation you deserve. And, it helps protect you from unfair blame, which could lower the amount of compensation you receive.

Who Is Liable in a FedEx or UPS Truck Accident?

As with any accident, there could be more than one cause. Therefore, there could be more than one liable party. 

Potentially liable parties could be:

  • FedEx
  • UPS
  • Delivery truck driver
  • Driver of another vehicle
  • Maintenance company
  • Owner of dangerous cargo
  • Manufacturer of defective equipment
  • Government entity

If the delivery driver was at fault, then their employer can be held responsible through vicarious liability. The driver won’t typically be held personally responsible, but who is liable depends on the facts of your case.

We often think of delivery trucks as the boxy trucks making the rounds in our neighborhood, but they also have tractor-trailers on the highways. The potential for severe injury or fatal accidents is much higher with a big-rig accident.
