Delivery Truck Accidents

Brooklyn Delivery Truck Accident Lawyers

New York attorney fights for compensation due to Fed Ex and Amazon driver errors

With the increase in electronic commerce has come a need for more delivery trucks working on ambitiously frequent schedules. This in turn has led to more Federal Express, Amazon and UPS vehicles on city and suburban streets, with a consequent higher risk of collisions. If you are injured in a delivery truck accident caused by driver negligence in New York City, the Brooklyn delivery truck accident lawyers at Goldberg Sager & Associates have the experience and specialized knowledge to pursue compensation from those responsible, including delivery service owners and their employees.

Why delivery service trucks are involved in Brooklyn accidents

Delivery truck accidents can be more frequent in urban areas like Brooklyn due to multiple factors, such as: 

  • Congestion — Stop-and-go traffic requires sudden braking that can lead to rear-end collisions.
  • Narrow streets — There is often little room for trucks to maneuver, especially when other vehicles are double parked.
  • Blind spots — It is often harder for drivers to see smaller vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians.
  • Wide turns — Trucks require more space to make turns and can sideswipe nearby vehicles.
  • Poor road conditions — Potholes, uneven pavement and construction work can create hazards.

Based in Brooklyn, our lawyers are knowledgeable about these circumstances and know how to build strong claims against the parties responsible for accidents.

Common causes of delivery truck accidents

Delivery truck accidents in Brooklyn are usually caused by negligence of delivery service owners and drivers, such as:

  • Faulty truck maintenance 
  • Improper cargo loading
  • Inadequate driver training
  • Driver fatigue
  • Driving while distracted
  • Rushing to meet delivery deadlines
  • Quick stops

As your attorneys, we will investigate thoroughly to determine the specific cause of the accident and the persons and entities potentially liable.

Types of injuries delivery truck accidents can cause

Delivery truck accidents can result in such injuries as:

  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Whiplash
  • Paralysis
  • Broken bones

Serious accidents can be devastating for their victims, leading to temporary or permanent disability, chronic pain and other long-term effects. 

Why delivery truck accidents are different from other motor vehicle crashes

Trucking accidents can involve fault not just by the vehicle’s driver but also by other parties involved in its operation. Various parties might be liable, including:

  • Truck owners, for failure to follow federal and state regulations that impose safety requirements 
  • Delivery service companies, for their employees’ negligence that occurs in the course of their employment 
  • The truck manufacturer, if a defect in the truck contributed to causing the accident
  • A maintenance provider, for negligence in the course of servicing the vehicle
  • Another driver whose negligence was a factor in causing the accident
  • Government agencies charged with maintaining the roadway, if a road defect was a partial cause of the accident

Our experienced Brooklyn truck accident lawyers will thoroughly investigate the accident and its causes and will bring claims against all parties potentially responsible.

Personal Injury Claim Process Timeline

Filing a personal injury lawsuit can seem overwhelming, especially when you need to focus on your recovery.

At Silver Law Accident & Injury Lawyers, we strive to make the process as smooth and straightforward for our clients as we can.

Although no two cases are alike, personal injury cases tend to include the following steps:

  • Seeking medical care. If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident, it’s crucial to seek medical attention right away. Some injuries aren’t immediately noticeable, and prompt medical records can serve as valuable proof for insurance adjusters and in court.
  • Speaking with a lawyer. While individuals may handle smaller personal injury cases on their own, other claims can benefit greatly from the expertise of a personal injury attorney. Silver Law Office offers free initial consultations for anyone unsure about pursuing a personal injury claim.
  • Investigation and review. If you hire an attorney, they will launch an investigation to gather evidence and assess your case. At Silver Law Office, we collaborate with accident reconstruction experts and healthcare professionals to present clear, compelling facts to insurers—or in court, if necessary.
  • Filing a claim. Before entering into negotiations or litigation, all relevant parties must be formally notified of your claim. For instance, if you’ve been in a car accident, you’ll need to file a personal injury claim with the other driver’s insurance provider.
  • Making a demand and negotiating. If your lawyer believes the case can be settled without filing a lawsuit, they will submit a demand to the defendant’s counsel or their insurance company. Most personal injury cases resolve at this stage, without ever proceeding to court.
  • Filing a lawsuit. Should negotiations fail to yield a fair resolution, your legal team will file a lawsuit in court. Remember, it’s vital to initiate the suit before the statute of limitations expires in your state.
  • Discovery. Discovery is the phase where both sides exchange information regarding witnesses and evidence. This process typically commences after a lawsuit is filed and can continue for up to a year.
  • Mediation and trial. After discovery concludes, there is usually an opportunity to settle. Some cases resolve at this point, while others may move to mediation, where a neutral third party helps both sides seek a mutually acceptable agreement. If mediation fails, your case will proceed to trial, where a judge or jury will determine the final outcome.
