What Do I Do After a UPS Truck Accident?

Directly after the accident, you may be in a state of shock. After all, you were just involved in an accident with a large vehicle. You may be injured and unable to move. In other cases, you may be unconscious.

If you are alert after the accident and can move yourself without further injury, get yourself to a safe location. If the UPS truck knocks you into the street where there are actively moving cars, you need to move yourself to the sidewalk or other safe location. If you cannot, stay where you are and be aware of your surroundings.

Make sure to provide the police with your statement when you can, and be sure to get a copy of the police report as evidence. If you have not already been examined by a doctor, be sure to do so within the next 24 hours.  You need a record of your injuries caused by the UPS truck accident. Performing these steps will help our Bronx personal injury lawyers assess your case.

Is Only the Driver Responsible for a UPS Truck Accident?

Unlike passenger vehicle accidents, the driver of the UPS truck may not be the only party responsible for the accident. Since the UPS truck is part of a commercial fleet and driven by an employee of UPS, there are more parties involved.

While the driver is a responsible party due to negligence that caused the accident, UPS, as their employer, can also be held liable. UPS is responsible for hiring qualified employees and properly training them. Irresponsible employees can cause accidents, and therefore, the company may be responsible for accidents their drivers cause.

Other parties that may be liable for the UPS truck accident include the truck mechanic and the truck manufacturer. A truck manufacturer is responsible for inspecting their vehicles and identifying and fixing issues before sale. Truck manufacturers are responsible for manufacturing vehicles that are safe for the road and free from defects.

When Should I Consult a Personal Injury Lawyer?

After your accident, you may begin to think about your next steps. You may have been offered a settlement from UPS or its insurance company, but do you take it? Before doing anything, you should consult with a personal injury lawyer.

Have a Consultation

The first step in consulting with a lawyer regarding your UPS truck accident is to set up an appointment. Morelli Law Firm offers all clients a free consultation on their case to remove any barriers that may prevent someone from seeking legal assistance in their case.

Gather Evidence

After deciding to work with the lawyer, the next step is gathering evidence. Whether you took pictures yourself or got some from witnesses, all photos can help. Your lawyer will discuss what other evidence is needed for your case.

Identify Responsible Parties

Our UPS truck accident lawyers in the Bronx can help you identify who, if anyone besides the driver, is responsible for your UPS truck accident.

File the Lawsuit

You must file the lawsuit within the statute of limitations. If you do not, you are giving up your right to fight for fair compensation and seek the justice you deserve. A lawyer can help you file the correct paperwork within the timeframe.

How Much Compensation Can I Expect?

Every accident case is unique, so there is no way to accurately estimate how much your case will be until we investigate your situation. However, the odds of getting a fair settlement amount are higher in commercial truck accident cases because there are more insurance policies.

You are not limited to only filing a claim against the driver or UPS. If the evidence shows both are liable, you can make a claim against both parties. That gives you access to more compensation without the need to go to court, assuming the insurance companies agree that you have a claim.

But if you do have to go to court to get a fair amount of compensation, Morelli Law will stand behind you the entire way. We’re no stranger to litigation against some of the largest companies in the nation, and we’ve won many cases against insurers and transportation companies.
