Delivery Van Accidents

Drivers of delivery vans may have tight deadlines and need to find the right address and make frequent stops. However, they must do so in a careful and law-abiding way. If they act carelessly or recklessly behind the wheel and cause an accident, the victim may be able to pursue compensation from their employer in addition to holding them legally liable.

If this happened to you, a Newark delivery van lawyer from Morelli Law Firm may be able to take action in your case, helping you gather evidence and seeking the payout you deserve based on that evidence. The first step in this process is a free case review. You can speak with a member of the Morelli Law Firm commercial vehicle accident team serving Newark today at no cost. Call (212) 751-9800 now.

  • They violated one or more traffic laws, or otherwise drove in a careless way.
  • This violation caused your accident and injuries.
  • You suffered physical, financial, and psychological injuries.

If we have evidence to support all four of these elements, we can then ensure we have the documentation, paperwork, and necessary expert witnesses to paint a clear picture of the harm you suffered. This may include:

  • Your relevant medical records
  • Medical bills
  • Receipts from expenses
  • Estimates to repair or replace your vehicle
  • Proof of lost wages

Liability in a Newark Delivery Van Accident Case

Even when the driver of a delivery van causes a traffic accident and the case against them is clear, they may not be the primarily liable party. A New Jersey Supreme Court case, Carter v. Reynolds, confirmed the doctrine of respondeat superior applies in these cases. This doctrine allows accident victims to hold a worker’s employer vicariously liable for their negligent actions.

This is important in a traffic accident case, especially if you suffered serious injuries. It means we file a claim with the driver’s employer based on their corporate liability insurance policy. These policies are generally larger than any one individual would carry.

When you work with a Newark delivery van lawyer from Morelli Law Firm, we will identify the liable parties in your case and pursue claims to the fullest extent supported by your case and allowed under the law. Call (212) 751-9800 now to learn more.

Recoverable Damages in a Newark Insurance Settlement or Trial

The goal of taking action against a driver or their employer following a Newark delivery van accident is to hold the liable parties accountable and recover compensation to cover the damages you incurred as a result of their negligent behavior. When we investigate your case and gather evidence of your losses, we will put a value on your case using tangible expenses and losses and estimating a fair settlement value for the intangible damages.

We will use this value to demand a just payment from the insurance company or present it and the evidence in court and request an award to compensate you for your losses. These recoverable damages may include:

  • Current and future medical treatment costs
  • Current and future lost pay from time missed at work
  • Diminished earning ability
  • Repair or replacement of your damaged vehicle
  • Damage to other personal property
  • Other expenses related to the accident or your injuries
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Wrongful death damages for those whose immediate family member died

Deadlines in Newark Delivery Van Accident Lawsuits

The New Jersey Revised Statutes New Jersey Statutes (NJ Stat) §2a:14-2 creates a deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit following any type of traffic accident two years from the date of the accident. There are some exceptions to this rule, but in most cases, you will lose the right to hold the liable parties accountable in court on the second anniversary of your accident.
