Accidents involving FedEx trucks can leave victims and their families facing substantial losses. FedEx drivers spend long hours behind the wheel; and, unfortunately, sometimes they make mistakes that result in serious injuries. Issues with FedEx trucks themselves can lead to motor vehicle accidents resulting in serious injuries as well.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a crash involving a FedEx delivery truck, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Our experienced truck accident lawyers handle accidents involving FedEx trucks across the United States. Like all commercial truck accidents, these accidents present unique legal challenges—so it is important to put an experienced legal team on your side as soon as possible.

What You Need to Know About Your FedEx Truck Accident Case

Each FedEx truck accident lawyer at our firm is committed to helping victims and families recover just compensation for their medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses. If you have grounds to sue FedEx and seek compensation for your losses, here is an overview of what you need to know:

1. FedEx Crashes Can Have Several Causes, and You Must Be Able to Prove the Specific Cause of Your (or Your Loved One’s) Truck Accident

From distracted driving to inadequate maintenance, accidents involving FedEx vehicles can have a variety of different causes. However, to seek just compensation, you must be able to prove the specific cause of your (or your loved one’s) FedEx truck accident.

This makes it important to conduct a thorough investigation. This investigation will involve seeking to gather evidence of any and all possible causes of the accident, including driver fatigue, violations of traffic laws and safety regulations, and issues with the FedEx truck itself. Police reports, witness statements, opinions from accident reconstruction experts, and various other forms of evidence can all be used to prove what happened and why.

2. Accident Victims and Their Families Can (and Should) Hold FedEx Accountable

If FedEx is to blame for your (or your loved one’s) accident, it is important that you fight to hold FedEx accountable. Like all liable parties, holding FedEx accountable can help convince the company not to make the same mistakes again. While FedEx has insurance coverage that applies in cases involving serious and fatal injuries, FedEx itself still can (and should) be taken to task.

3. FedEx Can Be Held Liable Regardless of Whether Drivers Are Employees or Independent Contractors

In some cases, FedEx delivery drivers are classified as independent contractors rather than employees. But, regardless of a FedEx truck driver’s employment status, the company can be held liable in the event that an accident occurs due to driver negligence. When driver negligence is to blame, FedEx can be held accountable based on the legal principle of vicarious liability, and it can also be held directly liable for negligent hiring and other forms of negligence in many cases.

4. The Costs Associated with Serious Injuries from FedEx Truck Accidents Can Be Substantial

The financial and non-financial costs associated with serious and fatal injuries from FedEx truck accidents can be substantial, and this makes it critical for victims and their families to seek the maximum compensation available under the circumstances at hand. In a typical case, this will include compensation for:

  • The costs of all necessary medical attention and medical care
  • Other medical expenses (i.e., prescriptions and medical supplies)
  • Property damage repair or replacement costs
  • Lost wages, lost benefits, and lost future earning capacity
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Loss of companionship, loss of consortium, and loss of enjoyment of life

What constitutes fair compensation in any particular case depends on the specific circumstances involved. When you hire our personal injury attorneys to help you take legal action, our attorneys will help you understand the losses you are entitled to recover so that you can feel confident you are not settling for less than you deserve.

5. You Will Need a Team of Experienced Personal Injury Attorneys to Fight for the Compensation You Deserve

FedEx truck accident cases are complex. They can involve a variety of different causal factors, and there are a variety of issues that can affect liability in these cases. Along with FedEx, there could be other responsible parties as well (i.e., other vehicle drivers), and it is critical to ensure that you are seeking just compensation from all parties that deserve to be held accountable.

To navigate the legal process successfully, you will need a team of experienced personal injury attorneys on your side. At Oberheiden Law Group, our attorneys have a proven track record of helping victims and families recover compensation in cases involving commercial vehicles, and we can use our experience to fight for just compensation on your behalf.
