Do I Need a Lawyer After a Collision With an Amazon Vehicle?
If you suffer serious injuries in a crash caused by an Amazon driver, it’s a smart idea to go over your case with a skilled Ceres Amazon Accident Lawyer. A serious injury like a broken bone means the cost of care will be higher. That triggers Amazon and its insurers to fight to avoid taking the blame for its employee’s mistake.
They can try to blame you for what happened, or say that you are exaggerating how badly you are hurt. This is unacceptable treatment, and Maison Law fights back on your behalf. We fully investigate what happened and gather powerful evidence to make sure Amazon can’t change the story. We also take on the teams of lawyers that a giant business like Amazon has at the ready to attack your case.
Maison Law proves your innocence and then demands everything you need to fully recover. Our aggressive lawyers can often earn you much more from Amazon than you could by taking on Amazon yourself.
Does Amazon Have Insurance for Its Drivers?
Yes. Amazon has to back its drivers with commercial accident insurance. It’s a necessary financial protection, because the corporation is responsible for any mistakes its drivers make on the road.
Amazon provides up to one million dollars in coverage for its Amazon employees and for its FLEX drivers (contractors who use their own vehicles to deliver Amazon packages).
Just like any normal motorist who causes an accident, the at-fault driver is responsible for helping victims pay for car repairs, pay off medical bills, and cover other damages. The only difference is that Amazon truck drivers are on the clock for their employer as they travel through Ceres neighborhoods. It means Amazon is liable for the harm caused by its business model of delivering every order using local roads and highways.
Unfortunately, this one million dollars in coverage isn’t automatically awarded. Amazon will do its best to keep victims from drawing from the coverage. They can question who was at fault, even when a Ceres Police Officer’s accident report makes it clear. Trusting a case to a legal representative may be necessary to force Amazon to accept blame and lend a hand.
Amazon Truck Accident Dangers in Ceres
Those Amazon blue vans start early and are out late to get deliveries out every day. It’s a great convenience, but it also adds to the traffic on Ceres Roads. When delivery drivers get careless, the chances of accidents multiply.
Amazon drivers can race down local roads like Whitmore Avenue and speed through neighborhoods to make their deadlines. And those loaded-down vans don’t behave like normal cars in collisions. They can do more damage and cause more harm to those inside other vehicles. You’ll also notice Amazon semi-trucks on Highway 99 on their way to stock up local warehouses.
These are just a few of the accident concerns that Amazon trucks and vans carry:
- Speeding through neighborhoods
- Speeding on highways
- Deadline pressures leading to reckless driving
- Distracted driving as Amazon employees get information on their work tablets
- Heavier loads and more powerful impacts
- Increased weight making quick braking harder
What Type of Support Should I Demand from Amazon After an Accident?
Your lawyer helps you secure the maximum in compensation from your injury claim. That means documenting every hardship you endure after the accident. Your attorney will include every damage when you file an insurance claim.
Anything you leave off will be something Amazon can ignore and force you to cover. Your lawyer would make sure everything was included and then go to work negotiating with Amazon for every benefit possible.
These are only some of the factors you should receive compensation for:
- Totals on hospital and doctor bills.
- Estimates on future costs associated with a long-term injury or permanent physical disability.
- Support for the physical pain you endure in a crash and during a difficult recovery.
- Support for the emotional trauma you face in the accident and in recovery.
- Reimbursement for car damage and personal property damage.
- Reimbursement for the paychecks you forfeit while missing time at work. This includes any time you may have to miss in the future.
- Wrongful death benefits. Amazon collisions can easily result in deadly consequences. Close family members, like a spouse or children of the victim, can file a wrongful death claim to seek support for burial costs and leftover medical bills. They should receive support for the future when they’ll be without the guidance and financial support a loved one can no longer provide.
