Can You Sue FedEx for Your Accident?
FedEx is a large company which can afford to pay fair compensation to anyone injured in a crash with one of their vehicles. FedEx vans can cause serious damage a vehicle in a collision, which means that occupants can end up in the hospital with significant injuries:
- Brain injuries
- Neck injuries
- Nerve damage
- Shoulder injuries
- Herniated disc
- Spinal column injuries
- Paralysis
FedEx drivers cause many collisions due to distraction or fatigue. Others might drink or do drugs on the job. But a main driver of accidents is tight deadlines. Racing to finish a shift, FedEx drivers can tailgate, run red lights, and pass illegally. They crash into innocent people because of trying to deliver too many packages in a short window of time.
Call Pike & Lustig. We can review whether you can sue the truck driver. FedEx remains liable whenever one of their employees causes an accident. That is good news, since the company is protected by huge liability policies. However, they will also more aggressively fight any injury claim.
Our legal team can step in and bargain for a fair settlement. But the most important work starts before then, with gathering evidence in support of your claim. Some of the best evidence will come from the accident scene. If possible, take pictures of the vehicles involved and talk to witnesses before they disappear. A witness can support your contention that the FedEx driver is responsible. Our firm can also search for evidence once hired, including any nearby video evidence.
