Common Causes of Delivery Truck Accidents

Since its inception, E-Commerce has grown by leaps and bounds. And it continues to grow as more businesses drop their brick-and-mortar stores and strictly go online. This boost in online shopping has increased delivery trucks on the road, and now, drivers are under more pressure than ever. They’re under tighter time constraints and overwhelmed, making them tired and more likely to make mistakes.

When delivery drivers make a mistake or act negligently, it can have serious consequences. Some common causes of truck delivery accidents include:

  • Speeding
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Fatigue
  • Reckless driving
  • Improperly maintained trucks
  • Bad weather conditions
  • Blind spots
  • Overloaded cargo

Parties That May Be Liable for a Delivery Truck Accident

If you have been injured in a delivery truck accident, a few different parties may be liable for your injuries.

  1. The delivery driver. If the driver was speeding, driving under the influence, or acting recklessly, they may be liable for your injuries.
  2. The private company that owns the truck or employs the driver. If the company did not follow trucking regulations or put an inexperienced driver on the road, they may be liable for your injuries.
  3. If the truck was not properly maintained, you may be able to file a claim against the truck maintenance company.
  4. Local, State, or Federal governments If the roadway was not properly maintained and contributed to the accident, they may be liable for your injuries.

Filing a Delivery Truck Accident Claim in Charlotte

If you have been injured in a delivery truck accident, you may be able to file a claim against the driver or the company that owns the truck. A Charlotte truck accident lawyer will be able to help you determine who is at fault for the accident and help you get the compensation that you deserve.

To file a claim, you will need to prove that the driver or the company was negligent. This means that they did not take the necessary precautions to prevent the accident from happening. For example, if the driver was speeding, this could be considered negligence. If the company did not properly maintain the truck, this could also be considered negligence.

You will also need to prove that you were injured in the accident. This means that you will need to have medical records or other documentation to show that you were injured. If you do not have this documentation, it may be difficult to prove your injuries.

Compensation You Can Recover

There are a few different types of compensation that you may be able to recover in a personal injury claim, including:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
