Buffalo Amazon Truck Accident Lawyer

Buffalo Amazon Truck Accident Lawyer

What’s more convenient than Amazon these days? Prime’s two-day delivery is one of the fastest in the nation. To ensure that speed, however, Amazon truck drivers have to work under stressful conditions. While these conditions do not excuse negligent behavior on the road, they can explain why Amazon truck drivers may find themselves liable for roadway accidents.

Addressing Amazon through the lens of a civil lawsuit isn’t easy, though. If you want to hold a truck driver liable for your roadway losses, it’s best to do so with help from a Buffalo Amazon truck accident attorney. Morelli Law Firm’s experienced attorneys have addressed corporations like Amazon before and can give you the support you need to bring your case forward.

Reacting to Your Amazon Truck Accident Case

It is rare for Amazon to bring its truck drivers into the corporate fold. Put another way, most of Amazon’s truck extra drivers are going to operate as independent contractors. This means that these drivers must represent themselves in the wake of alleged roadway negligence. It further means that you will not likely hold Amazon responsible for your roadway losses.

Does this mean Amazon is completely detached from its truck drivers’ cases? That depends on your circumstances. In most cases, Amazon will provide its on-duty truck accident attorneys with some manner of insurance protection. As such, you may have the right to file an insurance claim with the corporation.

However, you’ll need to work with an attorney to determine whether or not you should address your complaint to an Amazon truck driver or to Amazon as a corporation. Our team can assess the nature of your accident and the role of truck driver played at the time the accident occurred. This data can help us determine if Amazon bears the blame for some of your losses.

Fielding Settlement Offers From Corporations Like Amazon

Should you bring a data-backed case forward after a car accident with an Amazon truck in Buffalo, NY, the way the corporation approaches you may change. Amazon is a billion-dollar company. It has the means to offer you a substantial settlement should the corporation want to avoid spending time in court.

Amazon truck accident settlement offers need to address the full breadth of the losses you’ve endured due to driver negligence. However, because the corporation and its insurance provider want to save money, the first settlement offer you may receive may look impressive without bearing substance.

Before you accept any manner of settlement offer after an Amazon truck accident, contact an attorney. Make sure you have your own estimate of your case’s value that you can compare against a settlement offer. Should the need arise for you to negotiate for more comprehensive coverage, you can rely on our team to stand alongside you.

Comparative Negligence and Liability in Amazon Truck Accident Claims

In the more likely case that you bring a lawsuit against an individual driver, you must still consider the evidence of liability you found at the scene of your accident. This evidence may tell a story not only of a driver’s innocence but of the negligence of other parties.

For example, the presence of roadway disrepair or inappropriate motorist behavior may make other parties responsible for your losses.

What’s more, New York has a generous understanding of comparative negligence. Should it appear that multiple parties contributed to a truck driver’s negligence and your subsequent accident, you can assign fault in percentages to those parties. Our team can gather the data needed to distribute fault as appropriate in your case.

New York’s Statute of Limitations on Personal Injury Claims

You need to work quickly if you want to gather the data you need to hold any party accountable for your Amazon truck accident in Buffalo. You have a limited amount of time to file your lawsuit Under the Umbrella of personal injury.

More specifically, New York Civil Practice Law & Rules (CVP) §214 allows victims of Amazon truck accidents up to three years to bring their cases before a judge.

This personal injury statute of limitations is not unsympathetic to your needs to recover. Rather, it serves to keep the cases that come before New York civil courts current. If you find yourself concerned about the tight turnaround of the deadline, Amazon truck accident lawyers in Buffalo, NY, can take the wheels on your case and help you submit documents in time.

Claims Against Amazon Help You Financially Recover From Accidents

The purpose of a claim brought against an Amazon truck driver or corporation is to secure the financial support you need to recover from your accident. As such, you need to understand that your accident has value. This value stems both from the billable losses relating to your post-accident care and the emotional stress you were forced to endure.

More specifically, our team assigned a value to your case based on the combined some of these losses. To establish an estimate of your case’s dollar value, we can calculate the sum of your bills from hospital treatments, property damage and essential repairs, and even lost wages.

From there, we use multipliers approved by the state of New York to stand in for emotional losses. These range from loss of Consortium to run-of-the-mill stress. Once we apply the multipliers to the sum, you can understand what the value of your lawsuit may be.

Don’t Let Amazon Intimidate Your Out of a Civil Lawsuit

While Amazon services are increasingly convenient, there is nothing the corporation prioritizes more than its bottom line. Should you try to press Amazon or its drivers in the wake of a roadway accident, you may find your efforts to secure financial support obfuscated at every angle.

Fortunately, you don’t have to address corporate giants like Amazon alone. In the wake of a truck accident, contact Amazon truck accident attorneys in Buffalo, NY. Morelli Law Firm understands how to address corporations like Amazon and can work with you to secure Financial support. Request a case evaluation by calling your office or contacting us online.
