Athens Delivery Vehicle Accident Lawyer 

Every day, packages are delivered to doorsteps across the city of Athens. Drivers from companies like Amazon, UPS, and FedEx handle these deliveries, but not all of them are safe behind the wheel. A delivery driver’s negligence can lead to a dangerous, life-changing collision.

Accidents involving delivery vehicles can be frightening. If you or a loved one were injured by a delivery driver, the attorneys at Dan Chapman & Associates can help. These types of commercial vehicles carry big insurance policies. You should never attempt to handle one of these claims on your own because the commercial insurance companies use highly trained adjusters to try to quickly settle your case for pennies on the dollar before you can seek legal help. Our law firm has the experience you need with these claims to help you secure a full and fair settlement on your injury claim.

• Our firm accepts injury cases on a contingency fee basis. You will only be charged legal fees after our lawyers secure a settlement or jury verdict in your case.

Delivery Truck Accidents Cause Serious Injuries

Delivery drivers from major companies often drive vehicles that are larger and heavier than the average car. As a result, collisions between a delivery truck and a passenger car, bicycle, or pedestrian can cause serious injuries.

The injuries we typically see from these accidents include:

• Traumatic brain injury
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Internal organ damage
• Cuts, bruises, and abrasions
• Herniated discs in neck or back
• Broken bones and fractures

Legal Options for Victims of Athens Delivery Truck Accidents

If you were injured by a delivery truck driver, you are entitled to financial compensation. Georgia is a fault accident state that requires negligent drivers to pay for any damages that they cause. Depending on the cause of your accident, you could pursue an insurance claim or a personal injury lawsuit.

Package delivery companies typically provide insurance coverage for their drivers, which covers any accidents that occur while they are on the job. If the delivery driver is responsible for the collision, you could pursue a claim against the corporate policy. 

In some situations, you could escalate your claim to a lawsuit against the driver in civil court. If the driver was an employee of the delivery company, you could name the entity in your lawsuit as well. However, if the driver was an independent contractor, the company would not be liable for the collision.

Compensation Available in Delivery Truck Accident Claims

Through a delivery truck accident claim, you could recover a settlement to help pay for the financial, physical, and emotional losses that you experienced in the accident. An attorney from Dan Chapman & Associates can help you identify all possible avenues to compensation and calculate your potential award.

Below are a few examples of damages available in delivery truck accident claims:

• Past and future medical expenses
• Lost wages and a loss of future earnings
• Property damage
• Chronic pain
• Emotional distress
