Large online shopping websites like Ebay and Amazon were formed in the mid-1990’s, but have only recently reached the mega-status that we now know them to have.

One or two clicks and your desired products are shipped to the destination of your choice. The industry has expanded to include meal and box food delivery and personal errand services.

How Accidents Happen
Delivery vehicles are known for their sudden stops, for pulling to the side of the road, and for rejoining road traffic frequently. Drivers have busy workloads and are often working on deadlines trying to ensure packages are delivered on time. For this reason, these drivers are subject to fatigue and inattentiveness. Here are some of the most common mistakes that can result in an accident with a delivery vehicle:
Distracted driving – One of the biggest causes of accidents for almost any kind of vehicle but for delivery drivers, they count on their GPS unit to locate destinations and may also rely on mobile delivery applications.
Poor or blocked visibility – Large box vans have few windows and many blind spots, especially when navigating tight Austin streets.
Reckless driving – Delivery trucks and vans dart off and back on the road frequently. Sometimes they do not look at their immediate surroundings.
Fatigue – Long hours and heavy lifting can make drivers physically tired.
Cargo problems – Overloaded, poorly secured or falling cargo can affect the stability of a truck or van, causing rollover accidents. Additionally, if a parcel falls from the vehicle it can easily cause an accident behind it.
Delivery vehicle accidents can create sizable damage to your automobile and result in devastating injuries. If you have suffered neck or back injuries, you could be out of work for weeks or months, making it hard to earn a living and provide for your family. Medical bills add up quickly and most American families are not prepared for the financial hardship that being in an accident brings. It is important to get the medical treatment you need and get back on your feet. If you have questions, then we have answers. Call today for a free confidential consultation.

Delivery Company Accident Attorneys in Austin
Not all delivery accident cases are the same. Claims involving Amazon, FedEx, and UPS drivers often require different investigative strategies, insurance analysis, and corporate liability review. Our firm handles each type of case with the depth and precision it demands.
Amazon Delivery Accidents
Amazon frequently uses third-party contractors and Delivery Service Partners (DSPs), which can complicate liability. We investigate employment status, vehicle ownership, and corporate control to determine every responsible party.
FedEx Truck Accidents
FedEx accidents may involve FedEx Ground contractors or corporate-employed drivers. These cases often require detailed review of federal safety compliance and independent contractor structures.
UPS Truck Accidents
UPS operates under strict corporate policies and federal regulations. Our team understands UPS defense strategies and works aggressively to hold national carriers accountable.
Who Is Responsible?
When a delivery vehicle is involved in an accident, there are multiple parties that may be held liable as a result, including the driver of the vehicle. While liability may seem to be cut and dry, there can be variable circumstances involved that complicate things. An example of this is if the driver is not actually employed by the company, but is considered an independent contractor, or otherwise acted in a personally irresponsible manner. Other negligent parties may include:
- The delivery company or the owner. In many situations, the delivery company is responsible for the behavior of its employees performing activities within the scope of their employment. Delivery providers such as UPS, FedEx, and the United States Postal Service are subject to federal guidelines enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). This includes background screening, drug or alcohol testing, and driving regulations.
- Vehicle maintenance crew. Many large delivery service providers have their own maintenance garages and teams to carry out repairs. If a crew fails to properly maintain or repair the vehicle, they may be deemed negligent.
- Vehicle manufacturers. If a crash occurs due to a manufacturing defect, product liability laws may apply.
