Should I Call a Lawyer After a Walmart Spark Accident?
If you suffer a serious injury in an accident caused by a Walmart “Spark” driver, you may first need an attorney to help you prove that you weren’t to blame. Then you could require a lawyer’s help to make sure Walmart accepts financial responsibility for every medical bill and other hardships you face in recovery.
After an accident, the driver’s car insurance providers will look for ways to avoid accepting liability. In some cases, Walmart could also be held liable for the mistakes of its drivers. However, the big box store chain will have corporate lawyers who work to twist the evidence to try to show that you caused the accident.
They can also downplay your injuries, so Walmart gets away with providing you far less than you’ll need to restore your health and your life back to the way they were.
Your Tulare Walmart Spark Accident Lawyer fights back against these shady practices and demands the most compensation possible for your injury.
Walmart Delivery Driver Accident Dangers in Tulare Neighborhoods
Many of us get weekly deliveries from major online retailers like Walmart and Amazon. It’s a great convenience for Tulare families, but we must remember that the delivery drivers use the same busy streets and highways that we often do.
You may be traveling through your neighborhood, or along Cross Avenue, when you are suddenly struck by a Walmart driver who is looking at a cellphone. You may have major car damage and pain from an injury, and later wonder who should be responsible for your recovery costs.
During their shifts, Walmart Spark drivers are asked to focus on many different things with little idea of where they will be going from day to day. Their duties contribute to distracted driving and even reckless travel at times.
These and other factors can all lead to Spark drivers causing major collisions:
- Driving recklessly and speeding to meet job goals and expectations.
- Staring at cellphones for delivery information, mapping guidance, or to send texts instead of watching the lanes ahead.
- Drowsy and exhausted Spark drivers who don’t take enough breaks.
- Traveling in unsafe vehicles that might need brake and tire maintenance.
- Delivery drivers impaired by alcohol or drugs.
Victims hurt in accidents may suffer broken bones and head injuries. They could require months of medical care and physical therapy just to get back to a somewhat normal routine. Walmart makes money off its drivers, and the company should definitely take responsibility for their mistakes.
An attorney at Maison Law of Tulare gets aggressive on your behalf to hold a Spark driver and the driver’s employer fully accountable for what happened to you. An attorney with experience taking on major store chains can often win victims much more than they could win for themselves.
Does Walmart Insure Spark Drivers for Accidents?
No. Not in most cases. Walmart backs its big rig drivers delivering goods to their stores, but they don’t usually provide auto accident insurance to Spark drivers.
Walmart uses many different types of delivery methods for orders. They can utilize DoorDash and Instacart services. They might send items through FedEx or UPS.
Spark drivers are also used and are considered independent contractors, not real Walmart employees. Walmart goes into its arrangement with Spark employees on its website. Spark drivers must have their own car insurance and use their personal vehicles to make deliveries.
Unfortunately, if a Tulare Spark driver hits you, you’ll usually be stuck only drawing from the driver’s personal insurance. This policy will usually only be the bare minimum in coverage allowed in California, and that can leave you paying for part of your medical bills.
Your Tulare Car Accident Lawyer can help you seek the most from a driver’s car insurance coverage. Your attorney can also investigate Walmart and determine if there are ways to force the company to contribute to your recovery.
That may mean checking into Walmart’s hiring policies and safety programs for drivers. That includes checking the background of the driver to see if Walmart’s background check missed past driving violations. That could also include a check into Walmart’s expectations and duties for drivers. It may uncover that drivers had unrealistic expectations placed on them, and the stress and pressure caused an accident.
Support for Tulare Accident Victims Hurt By Spark Drivers
Your lawyer demands the most possible from those involved in your accident. That may include financial contributions from the Spark driver’s insurer or Walmart’s insurer, or both.
But first, your attorney creates a full list of every hardship you and your family have endured since the accident. Everything must be on this list, because anything forgotten is something an insurance company can ignore. It would end up as a bill you and your family would have to cover.
Your Maison Law attorney aggressively seeks compensation for these damages and more on your settlement check:
- Medical bills victims have incurred or expect to incur
- Physical therapy costs
- Lifelong costs if victims suffer a permanent physical disability
- Support for the pain victims endure
- Support for the anxiety and depression caused by an accident
- Support for the loss of enjoyment of life a serious injury may cause
- Lost wages or future loss of earnings
- Job support and security for Spark drivers hurt in collisions by another driver
- Wrongful death damages for families after a loved one is killed in a Walmart Spark Car accident
