Our Experienced Team and Large Support Staff

Delivery companies have giant teams of corporate lawyers. To beat them, you need a powerful team of your own. Small law firms simply do not have the money or the manpower to fight a billion-dollar delivery company.

At DM Injury Law, you do not just get the guidance of a simple delivery truck accident attorney. Our attorneys are backed by a huge team of professionals who help with every single aspect of your case:

  • Intake Specialists
  • Case Managers
  • Investigators
  • Medical Record Specialists
  • Settlement Specialists

Types of Delivery Truck Accident Claims We Handle

Delivery drivers are often overworked and forced to meet impossible deadlines. When a company cares more about fast shipping than public safety, innocent people get hurt.

We investigate every detail to find out exactly who is at fault. Our delivery truck accident attorneys handle many types of dangerous claims, including:

  • Distracted Driving: Drivers often look at their GPS screens or phones to find the next drop-off location.
  • Drunk or High Driving: Sometimes drivers use alcohol or illegal drugs to cope with long hours.
  • Fatigued Driving: Delivery companies often force their workers to skip rest breaks. A tired driver is just as dangerous as a drunk driver.
  • Poor Maintenance: Delivery vans are driven all day, every day. If the company fails to fix bad brakes or bald tires, the truck cannot stop in time.
  • Pedestrian Accidents: Delivery drivers often park in crosswalks or back up without looking, causing innocent bystanders to be hit by large vans and trucks.
  • Commercial Vehicle Accidents: We handle all types of commercial vehicle accidents, including delivery truck accidents and crashes involving large semi-trucks.
  • Company Negligence: We understand that tight delivery deadlines can contribute to devastating accidents. Our team works diligently to hold companies accountable for imposing unreasonable deadlines on drivers.

If you were the driver of the delivery truck and were hit by another driver by no fault of your own, DM Injury Law also helps injured drivers file workers' compensation claims. Tell us your story today.

Serious Injuries We Represent

A crash with a large, heavy delivery van causes far more damage than a normal car accident. The sheer weight and speed of these trucks will easily damage a smaller car or a motorcycle and seriously injure the driver.

These accidents can cause catastrophic injuries that require emergency room visits, long hospital stays, and years of physical therapy. DM Injury Law is here to take this legal fight off your shoulders and get you the money you deserve.

Our delivery truck accident lawyers regularly fight for clients suffering from:

Let DM Injury Law help you and your family seek the money you need to pay for the bills for these life-changing injuries so you can move forward with your life and put this traumatic event behind you. Schedule your free consultation today.

Damages Available to Delivery Truck Accident Victims

When you are seriously injured, you are probably lying awake at night worrying about how to pay your bills. You should not have to pay for medical bills caused by a crash that was not your fault. A skilled delivery truck accident lawyer from DM Injury Law will demand maximum compensation for all the ways this crash has changed your life.

We will fight for a settlement check or verdict that will cover your:

  • Medical Expenses: We demand money for ambulance rides, emergency room visits, surgeries, hospital stays, medication, and physical therapy. We will work with industry experts and medical professionals to calculate your future medical care needs as well.
  • Lost Wages: If you cannot go to work because you are hurt, you are losing paychecks. We fight to get that money back for you.
  • Loss of Future Income: If your injuries are so bad that you can never return to your normal job, you deserve compensation for the wages you will lose over your entire lifetime.
  • Pain and Suffering: You deserve money for the physical pain, the fear, the depression, and the loss of joy in your life caused by the crash.
  • Property Damage: We fight to get your vehicle completely repaired or replaced.
  • Wrongful Death Damages: If you lost a loved one in a fatal car accident, our team will hold the responsible party accountable for breaking your heart. We'll fight for the money you need to pay for the funeral and other end-of-life costs. We'll also seek compensation for the emotional toll losing a loved one has caused you and your family.

The Hidden Dangers of Delivery Trucks

Today, delivery trucks are everywhere. We see them in our neighborhoods, on the highways, and parked on busy streets. Because people order so many things online, companies are rushing to drop off packages as fast as possible. This rush puts everyone on the road in danger.

  • UPS: Federal data shows UPS was involved in 2,636 crashes over a recent 24-month reporting period, including fatal, injury, and tow-away crashes.
  • FedEx: FMCSA records show FedEx Express was involved in 1,847 crashes during a recent 24-month period, including 39 fatal crashes.
  • Amazon: A CBS News analysis found Amazon trucking contractors had unsafe driving violation rates at least 89% higher than other carriers, with violations such as speeding and texting while driving.
  • Driver Fatigue: Commercial vehicle driver fatigue is linked to an estimated 328,000 injury crashes each year.

The companies that own these trucks have endless money to fight you in court. If you are hurt, you need an experienced Amazon, UPS, and FedEx accident attorney to protect your rights.

FAQs for Our Delivery Truck Accident Lawyers

What should I do right after a delivery truck crash?

  • Call 911: Have the police come to the scene to file an official report.
  • Seek medical attention: Go to the hospital or see a doctor immediately, even if you think your injuries are minor. Internal bleeding or brain injuries may not be immediately apparent.
  • Gather evidence: If it is safe to do so, collect as much information as possible at the scene. Take pictures of the vehicles, any visible injuries, road conditions, traffic signs, and any debris or skid marks.
  • Speak to witnesses: Get contact information from witnesses, including their names and phone numbers.
  • Avoid admitting fault: Exchange insurance and contact information with the truck driver, but avoid admitting fault or making statements that could be used against you later. This evidence can be critical for building a strong case.
  • Contact our legal team: Before you speak with the trucking company's insurance adjusters, call us. We are here to protect your rights.

The insurance company offered me a check. Should I take it?

Absolutely not. Insurance companies will try to hand you a fast, cheap check, hoping you are desperate for cash. This lowball offer will never be enough to cover your future medical care. If you sign their papers, you can never ask them for more money later. Let our attorneys look at your case before you sign anything.

How long do I have to file a claim?

Every state has a strict time limit called the statute of limitations. If you wait too long to file your case, you cannot file a claim and will get nothing. The rules change depending on where you live.

  • Missouri: 5 years 
  • Kansas: 2 years 
  • Oklahoma: 2 years 
  • Illinois: 2 years 
  • Colorado: 2 years 
  • Nebraska: 4 years
