Long Beach Amazon Truck Accident Lawyer

Home » Areas We Serve » Long Beach NY Personal Injury Lawyer » Truck Accidents » Amazon Truck Accidents

long-beach-il-amazon-truck-accident-lawyer

Amazon delivery trucks and vans are everywhere on the roads. It is among the largest of delivery services, but did you know that workers in those trucks are independent contractors? That can make it hard to figure out where to file a claim after an Amazon truck accident.

If you get into an accident with one, you need to talk with our Amazon truck accident attorneys in Long Beach, NY. Morelli Law’s experienced legal team has fought against some of the largest delivery companies in the country, and won.

Independent Drivers

Amazon hires outside companies or independent contractors to do their deliveries through their Delivery Service Partner program or Amazon Flex. This puts a barrier of liability between Amazon and the outside companies. It also means they don’t have to pay benefits or unemployment insurance.

Data on Amazon crashes is unreliable because many of the vehicles they use are below weight limits that would mandate oversight by the Department of Transportation, but public records show there have been hundreds of accidents and several fatalities from drivers working for Amazon.

Depending on the arrangement between Amazon and the third party company, you might have to sue the contracted company rather than Amazon to get compensation after a car accident with an Amazon truck in Long Beach, NY. However, Amazon also has a special insurance policy that could cover your damages.

Amazon’s Insurance Policy

Amazon requires its drivers to carry liability insurance, and may extend a policy known as Amazon Flex insurance to some drivers. This works much like rideshare coverage. If the crash is the Amazon driver’s fault, you could get up to $1 million in coverage for property and bodily injury.

For drivers in the Amazon Flex program, this coverage applies only if they are on the clock with Amazon. Otherwise their personal insurance may apply. Unfortunately for victims, working for Amazon without clearing it with their personal insurance may void the policy.

That puts third party victims like you in serious trouble, but not if you have an Amazon truck accident lawyer in Long Beach, NY, on your side. Morelli Law will investigate your case to find out who is most liable for your accident so you can get compensation for your injuries.

What to Do After an Amazon Delivery Truck Accident

The steps you need to take after an Amazon delivery truck accident are like other accidents. Here’s what you need to do:

Contact the Police

If you’re not too injured, call the police and paramedics to come to the scene by calling 911. Stay at the scene and answer their questions truthfully, and ask for a copy of the police report. You’ll need this for your case.

Exchange Information with the Driver

You are required by law to exchange names, contact information, and insurance information with the other involved drivers. Try to get their employer contact information as well. We can use this to track down the right party for filing a claim.

Take Pictures

If you’re able to, take photos of the crash scene, the vehicles, and your injuries. Try to get a shot of the license plate of the Amazon truck and any company logos.

Seek Medical Attention

Even if you feel uninjured, seek medical attention right away after your accident. You may not realize you are injured until days after your accident. Waiting until you hurt will risk your compensation because there is no medical documentation right after your accident.

Contact Your Insurance Company

You are also required to report the accident to your own insurance company. This lets them know they could receive a claim soon. Answer their questions truthfully, but do not admit fault.

Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer

Finally, you need to find an Amazon truck accident attorney in Long Beach, NY, that has experience in these crashes. There are complicated questions of liability that you don’t need to answer. Let your lawyer handle getting your compensation while you focus on recovery. 

Are You Willing to Sue Amazon?

Morelli Law has been at the forefront of many multi-million dollar settlements and trials. We take on some of the largest companies in the world, and win. If we discover Amazon’s insurance policies cover your accident, we are not afraid to take them to court to get you the compensation you need.

Most personal injury cases end up settling to avoid expensive litigation, or because the case is so strong that the insurance company knows they’ll lose. Our Amazon truck accident lawyers in Long Grove, NY, will work tirelessly to build the strongest case possible.
