What Should You Do After an Accident with an Amazon Contract Delivery Driver?

Being involved in an accident with an Amazon delivery vehicle can be overwhelming and confusing. The moments immediately following the crash can make a big difference in your ability to recover compensation. Make sure to take the following steps to protect your health and begin gathering evidence:

• Call 911 immediately and request police and emergency medical services to the accident scene, even if your injuries seem minor at first.
• Seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if you feel fine, to treat any hidden injuries and create a record for your insurance claim and potential lawsuit.
• If you can, document the accident by taking photos of vehicle damage, skid marks, road conditions, and any visible injuries you have sustained.
• Gather information from the Amazon delivery driver, including their name, contact details, insurance information, and any contractor company details visible on their vehicle.
• Look for potential witnesses and collect their contact information. Their statements could be valuable evidence for your case.
• Avoid discussing fault or making statements about the accident to insurance adjusters before consulting with an attorney.
• Keep detailed records of all medical treatments, expenses, and how your injuries affect your daily life. Bring these documents to your attorney.

Who Can Be Held Liable for an Amazon Delivery Accident?

Liability refers to legal responsibility for an accident and its resulting damages. Under Wisconsin law, the party or parties whose negligence caused a traffic accident must compensate the victims for their losses. Depending on how the collision happened, multiple parties may bear responsibility for an Amazon delivery accident. 

The delivery driver could be held liable if their negligent actions, such as distracted driving or speeding, caused the crash. Vehicle manufacturers might be responsible if a defective part contributed to the accident. If poor road maintenance played a role, government entities responsible for road upkeep could face liability.

The company that manufactured the delivery vehicle could be held accountable if mechanical failures or design flaws contributed to the accident. Additionally, if the improper loading of packages caused the driver to lose control, the loading company might share responsibility for your injuries. 

In some cases, Amazon itself may be financially liable for accidents caused by unsafe delivery quotas or aggressive time requirements. The company’s strict delivery metrics and monitoring systems can pressure drivers to speed or drive recklessly. Courts have found Amazon responsible in cases where their policies directly contributed to accidents.

An attorney from Cannon & Dunphy S.C. can help you determine who exactly is at fault and what type of claim you should file. We will thoroughly investigate your accident and gather compelling evidence to help you pursue compensation from every available source. 

Who Can You Pursue for Damages After a Collision with an Amazon Delivery Driver?

Once you have pinpointed the liable party, you may wonder—who exactly pays for an accident caused by an Amazon delivery driver? The answer can be complex due to Amazon’s contractor relationships. When a company like Amazon hires contractors instead of employees, they may try to avoid liability for accidents.

Amazon delivery drivers must carry personal liability insurance that meets Wisconsin’s requirements. Additionally, Amazon provides supplemental insurance coverage for accidents that occur during active deliveries. To access the coverage provided by Amazon, you will need to prove the driver was actively working for Amazon at the time of the accident.

If Amazon’s policies caused the accident, you may be able to file a claim directly against the company. Additionally, other forms of insurance coverage may pay for your damages if someone else caused your crash, such as a private motorist or a third-party delivery service provider. Your lawyer from Cannon & Dunphy S.C. will help you sort through the available paths to compensation and file the appropriate claim. 

How Long Do You Have to File an Amazon Delivery Vehicle Accident Claim?

In Wisconsin, you have three years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim. If you wait too long to file, you can lose your right to pursue compensation altogether. Additionally, the longer that you wait, the more likely that evidence will be lost and witnesses’ memories will fade.

To protect your right to recovery, contact an attorney as soon as possible to begin building your case. Your lawyer will act quickly to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and develop an aggressive strategy to secure the settlement that you deserve.
