Should I Call a Lawyer After an Amazon Accident?
If an Amazon driver crashes into your vehicle and causes only property damage and/or very minor injuries, you might not need a lawyer to help you file a claim. It’s when injuries are serious and medical bills will be expensive that a lawyer can be an important protection.
After an accident, Amazon’s insurance providers look for ways to avoid accepting liability. Amazon’s corporate lawyers work to twist the evidence to try to show that you caused the accident. They can also downplay your injuries, so Amazon gets away with providing you far less than you need to pay for recovery. Your Glendale Amazon Accident Lawyer fights back against these shady practices and demands the most in compensation possible for your injury.
Amazon Van Hazards for Glendale Motorists
Those loaded-up blue vans race across Highway 134, down Brand Boulevard, and through quiet Glendale neighborhoods all day long. They have delivery promises to keep and sometimes those deadlines don’t allow time for safe driving.
Amazon drivers can be looking at a cell phone or be drowsy after a long day and put those around them in danger of a collision. Their rush to drop those packages off can place pedestrians, motorcyclists, cyclists, and even children at play at risk. Those heavy trucks can also inflict much more damage on the human body in an impact, leading to traumatic and life-threatening harm.
These are just a few of the reasons Amazon vans end up involved in major accidents:
- Driving recklessly and speeding to meet job goals and expectations.
- Staring at cellphones and handheld computers for delivery information, mapping guidance, or personal reasons instead of the lanes ahead.
- Drowsy and exhausted drivers who don’t get enough breaks.
- Heavy loads. These payloads make vans harder to stop and harder to keep between the lines.
- Truck failure due to a lack of maintenance on delivery vehicles.
- Amazon drivers impaired by alcohol or drugs.
- Amazon drivers who don’t get proper background checks for bad driving records.
- Amazon’s failure to properly train drivers and policies that push drivers to act unsafely.
Can I Get Compensation From Amazon After an Accident?
Amazon drivers are protected by a commercial truck insurance policy. It’s a policy that carries a limit of one million dollars. That money is available to victims of accidents caused by delivery drivers.
It’s money that injured victims should be able to draw from without hassle, but Amazon and its insurers won’t usually accept responsibility willingly. They have lawyers and insurance adjusters all paid to try to limit what victims and their families receive by questioning the facts of the case.
They’ll also purposely delay their response to your injury claim, simply to get you more desperate for help. You’ll be watching more and more medical bills arrive at a time when you may not be able to go to work to earn a paycheck. Amazon hopes your fears of bankruptcy will make you desperate enough to accept any “lowball” insurance offer they present.
Your lawyer is your safeguard against this unfair treatment. Your attorney fully investigates your case and collects all evidence available. Your lawyer makes inquiries into the Amazon employee’s driving record and Amazon’s training methods and corporate expectations for drivers.
This evidence will be used to force Amazon and its insurers to give up their underhanded tactics and do the right thing. Maison Law has a long history of standing up to massive businesses and their teams of lawyers. We get aggressive on behalf of our clients. We help you examine every settlement offer and help you reject them and demand more if there’s simply not enough there for you to rebuild your life.
What Type of Things Can Earn Compensation After an Amazon-Involved Collision?
Amazon makes plenty of money off its 24/7 delivery model. They can be counted on for speedy deliveries to our doorsteps. It’s a great convenience for customers, but Amazon also collects massive profits while filling Glendale streets with their vans and semi-trucks.
They enjoy a lot of freedom in how they operate, but that doesn’t mean they should get a free pass when their drivers make reckless decisions that cause harm to others. Amazon should be completely responsible for every hardship victims endure in an accident.
These are just a few of the things your Glendale attorney will demand support for in a settlement check:
- The totals for your hospital care and physical therapy expenses.
- The estimated costs for care in the years to come if you suffer a long-term injury or a permanent physical disability.
- Travel costs while making doctor’s appointments and going to see specialists. This includes the cost of shuttle services if you can’t be on your feet or drive.
- Non-economic damages such as the physical pain and emotional distress you endure. This includes depression and anxiety and a loss of enjoyment of life due to your injuries.
- Past and future lost income while you must miss work. Estimates on your lost earning capacity if you have a permanent disability.
- Money for property damage and car repairs or replacement.
- Wrongful Death Support. Families can file a wrongful death claim against Amazon if a loved one is lost in a collision with a van. Close relatives could seek money to pay burial costs and remaining hospital bills. They should also receive help in the future when the loved one won’t be able to provide financial support to a spouse and children.
