- Speeding to meet delivery deadlines on highways like I-225
- Poor vehicle maintenance, such as brake or tire failures

We work with accident reconstruction experts to identify the cause and build a compelling case for your claim.

Our attorneys ensure compliance with Colorado laws to maximize your recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can be held liable in a crash involving a FedEx truck?
Liability may fall on:
- The driver if distracted, fatigued, speeding, or violating traffic laws.
- FedEx Corporation if negligence occurred in training, hiring, maintenance, or enforcing safety protocols.
- Third-party contractors or other entities if the driver was an independent contractor or if faulty vehicle parts or road hazards played a role.
Does it matter if the driver is a FedEx employee or an independent contractor?
Yes—it’s crucial. Employee drivers are typically covered by FedEx’s insurance, and the company can be held liable if negligent. However, independent contractors often carry their own insurance, and FedEx may try to limit its liability. Classifying the driver accurately is a critical early step in building your claim.
Are FedEx truck accidents more common or severe than other delivery vehicle accidents in Colorado?
Statistics suggest yes. Across the U.S., FedEx has set aside significant funds ($5 billion in self-insurance) due to the high rate of accidents, compared with much lower reserves from competitors like UPS. FedEx accidents frequently involve serious injuries or fatalities. In Colorado specifically, the terrain and weather, like navigating mountainous roads and winter conditions, contribute to the complexity and risk of accidents.
What types of damages or compensation might I be able to recover after a FedEx truck accident?
You may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses (emergency care, surgeries, rehab)
- Lost wages (current or future earning capacity)
- Pain and suffering (physical and emotional distress)
- Property damage (vehicle repairs or replacement)
A skilled attorney will help identify all damage categories and fight against low-ball insurance offers.
