Injured in an Accident with a Commercial or Delivery Vehicle?
If you've been involved in an accident with a delivery truck or van, you may be facing unexpected medical costs and uncertainty about your next steps. Collisions with commercial vehicles often involve distinct legal considerations.
Burnett Injury Group has experience with these types of cases and is prepared to help you understand your options. We have assisted individuals in Annapolis, Maryland, and nearby communities in pursuing appropriate compensation following such incidents.
More Delivery Vehicles, More Potential for Accidents
The growth of e-commerce means more delivery trucks and vans are sharing our roads. This increased volume of commercial delivery traffic, at times alongside pressures for rapid delivery, can be a factor in a greater number of accidents. These collisions can involve various delivery services, including:
- USPS
- UPS
- FedEx
- Amazon
Why Commercial Vehicle Accident Claims Can Be Complicated
Establishing responsibility after an accident with a delivery driver can be more involved than in other types of vehicle incidents. This is because several different parties could be accountable, for example:
- The individual driver
- The company employing the driver
- A separate vehicle maintenance provider
- Third-party logistics or contracting companies
These organizations often have established legal and insurance teams prepared to address such claims. Understanding your own legal standing in this context is beneficial.
