Understanding Amazon Delivery Accidents in Austin
With Austin’s growing population and the rise of on-demand delivery, Amazon vans and Flex drivers are on the road around the clock. Accidents involving these vehicles are complicated; drivers may be independent contractors, vehicle maintenance may be lacking, and Amazon’s policies often obscure liability.
Common Causes of Amazon Delivery Accidents:
- Driver distraction (navigating apps, GPS, texting)
- Speeding to meet delivery deadlines
- Improper loading/unsecured cargo
- Fatigue from excessive routes and long hours
- Poor vehicle maintenance or faulty equipment
Our attorneys work with crash reconstructionists and industry experts to identify every liable party (Amazon, the delivery driver, third-party contractors, and insurers), ensuring you get the compensation you deserve.
Proven Results: Amazon and Delivery Vehicle Accident Claims
Rear-End Collision by Delivery Truck – $2,650,000 Settlement
Our client, a mother in Austin, was rear-ended by a delivery truck, exacerbating a pre-existing spinal condition. Treviño Law uncovered a record of negligent hiring by the company and a history of unsafe driving. Through rigorous negotiation and strategic litigation, we secured $2.65 million to cover her surgery, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Serious Delivery Vehicle Crash – $8,500,000 Settlement
A mother and her two children were rear-ended by a delivery van while waiting to enter a church parking lot, prompting a lawsuit against a major national delivery company. Investigation revealed the driver, with prior drug convictions, had concealed marijuana paraphernalia in the van, and the company had negligently outsourced its background checks, failing to screen its 120,000 drivers properly. After uncovering evidence of the driver’s impairment and the company’s liability, the defendants offered a settlement, which the clients accepted before the trial.
