Figuring Out if You Need a Lawyer for Your UPS Accident Case
If a United Parcel Service (UPS) van crashes into your car and causes only a crumpled hood or door, you might not need a lawyer’s help with your case. But when your case involves a serious injury, like a broken leg, whiplash, or a brain injury, it’s a good idea to speak to a lawyer about your next steps.
Your case will be worth more, considering all the ER and doctor bills to come, but UPS will also fight you on responsibility all the harder. They can try to blame you for the collision or question how bad your injuries really are. It’s all an excuse to reject your claim or to provide you with less.
Your attorney is a safeguard against these tactics. Your Maison Law representative fully investigates what happened, collects evidence, and battles back against any UPS lawyers that are sent after you. You are certainly allowed to handle an injury claim yourself, but you can often bring home much more in support by allowing an experienced lawyer to handle your case.

Earning Support from UPS After a Collision
A UPS driver in a rush to make a drop-off deadline on a Visalia Highway can make mistakes that lead to accidents. They may be speeding through a neighborhood off of Dinuba Boulevard when spotting a pedestrian too late to brake in time.
A driver might be flying down Route 63, looking at a cellphone, and be unable to stop for a red light they didn’t see. The weight of the cargo they carry can affect their ability to avoid an accident. The weight can also pack more force into a collision and leave victims in smaller vehicles with much more severe injuries.
Victims can end up at the Kaweah Health Emergency Room with a Traumatic Brain Injury or spinal damage. No matter the type of injury, UPS should take responsibility for its drivers’ mistakes and provide support until victims are completely recovered.
These are just a few of the factors that a skilled Maison Law attorney would make sure are addressed in a settlement check:
Injured Victims: Those in vehicles, on motorcycles, struck as pedestrians, or cyclists must demand help with all of their current medical bills and those expected in the future. UPS must take responsibility for the physical pain victims must endure, and the emotional trauma of a scary collision with a large van or big rig. The emotional damage can extend to a difficult and extended recovery period, when victims can lose their enjoyment of life. The paychecks and job benefits that victims forfeit must be replaced for as long as the victim can’t work.
Families Who Lose a Loved One: The forces involved in a delivery van accident are always a risk to claim a precious life. Families should expect justice and support through such a difficult time. That should include UPS accepting liability for funeral costs and any leftover medical bills. Insurers must also cover the replacement of the income the victim may have supported the family with each month. The emotional strain that’s been placed on the family must be factored in. The loss of companionship, love, and precious life events should also receive support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do UPS drivers carry accident insurance?
Yes. UPS provides a hefty insurance policy for the victims of its drivers’ accidents. The policy’s limit in many cases is around a million dollars. Most UPS drivers are considered full employees and are included in the coverage. UPS doesn’t use as many contract drivers as other delivery companies. An accident with a contract driver may leave victims having to sue the driver’s personal insurance provider, which will likely have much lower limits.
What if I can’t afford to pay a UPS accident lawyer?
Car accidents can be financially devastating, but you can still afford the protection of a Maison Law attorney if you need it for your case. There’s never any upfront charge, and your case investigation gets underway immediately. The only time we are paid is if we win your case for you. Then our fee comes out of the insurance settlement check UPS writes for you.
How long do I have to file an injury claim after a car accident?
Two Years. California allows truck accident victims to wait up to 24 months to file an injury claim against an at-fault driver’s car insurance provider. Waiting beyond this deadline usually means the case will be thrown out. It’s best never to wait years to explore your options. Evidence can disappear, and witnesses can move away and be hard to locate.
