Delivery Vehicle Accidents: Your Path to Justice and Compensation
Delivery vehicles are a common sight on Texas roads, especially with the rise of e-commerce. However, their increased presence has led to a spike in delivery vehicle accidents. If you or a loved one has been involved in such an accident, Ryan Orsatti Law is here to help you navigate the complexities of personal injury claims.
What Are Delivery Vehicle Accidents?
Delivery vehicle accidents involve vehicles used for delivering goods, such as trucks, vans, and even bicycles. These accidents can result in severe injuries due to the size and weight of the vehicles involved.
Common Causes of Delivery Vehicle Accidents
- Driver Fatigue: Long hours and tight delivery schedules can lead to driver fatigue, a significant factor in many delivery vehicle accidents.
- Distracted Driving: Using GPS, handling packages, or communicating with dispatch can distract drivers.
- Improper Maintenance: Delivery vehicles require regular maintenance. Failure to maintain them properly can lead to accidents.
- Reckless Driving: Speeding, ignoring traffic signs, and other reckless behaviors are common among delivery drivers under pressure to meet deadlines.
Your Legal Rights and Options
In Texas, if you’ve been injured in a delivery vehicle accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
Establishing Liability
Proving liability in a delivery vehicle accident involves demonstrating that the driver or the company was negligent. This could include proving driver fatigue, inadequate vehicle maintenance, or violations of traffic laws.
Steps to Take After a Delivery Vehicle Accident
