St. Charles Amazon Truck Accident Lawyer

Home » Areas We Serve » St. Charles Personal Injury Lawyer » Truck Accidents » Amazon Truck Accidents

Contact a St. Charles, MO, Amazon truck crash attorney to find out if your injuries qualify you for a case.

Amazon is one of the largest delivery companies in the world, and their pledge to quick deliveries is one of the reasons why. But when a speeding Amazon truck is the cause of your accident, the luxury of fast delivery can become a curse.

At the Morelli Law Firm, our Amazon truck crash attorneys in St. Charles, MO, are dedicated to holding the correct parties accountable. We can build a strong case showing the pain you’ve suffered and that you need adequate compensation.

The Limited Time You Have to File a Truck Accident Claim

After you get injured in an Amazon truck accident, you don’t have a lot of time to file a claim. According to Revised Missouri Statutes § 516.120, you have 5 years to file a personal injury claim. The time it takes to begin the process of a lawsuit can take a long time, one of the reasons being that you should wait to file until you’ve been treated for your injuries. 

This could take a long time, depending on how severe they are. There are also instances where you may have more or less time than you thought to submit your claim. An Amazon truck accident attorney in St. Charles, MO, can tell you how long you have. 

Once you know, you should file your claim as soon as you can. If you wait too long, you won’t be able to recover the full amount of damages, or you may lose your ability to collect any damages at all.

Parties that You Can File a Personal Injury Claim Against

There are multiple parties that you can file a claim against, and if a lawyer can prove that all of them are at fault, you can request compensation from all of them. The following parties can be liable in an Amazon truck accident:

The Truck Driver

The person that was driving the Amazon truck is responsible for the delivery of packages, but they should also be driving safely. If they participated in dangerous behavior like texting while driving, drinking alcohol, being under the influence of drugs, speeding, or another type of reckless driving, you can hold them liable.

The Cargo Company

You may be able to file a truck accident claim against the person or company that loaded the truck that caused an accident. If the accident was a result of an unevenly loaded truck, and it tipped over and injured you, the cargo company can be held accountable. 

Every truck-loading company and professional knows the guidelines and limits for loading a truck. So if they made a mistake, they ignored the duty of care. 

Another Driver

Another person driving on the road could be liable for your injuries if they caused the Amazon truck to hit you. Whether it be a rear-end collision or a sideswipe that sent the truck crashing into you, the other driver can be held accountable. 

A lawyer from our firm can gather evidence like traffic cam footage, truck black box data, as well as the driver’s driving record. This can help us determine the amount of fault that the driver has. 

Amazon

Amazon, as a company, can also be held responsible for your injuries. In a 2021 case in Georgia, Amazon was sued for an accident that left a young man paralyzed. His lawyer argued that Amazon was responsible for the crash due to the intense amount of control the company has over its drivers, even tracking if they’ve yawned.

Also, since Amazon expects drivers to deliver an unrealistic amount of packages, it’s not looking after its drivers’ well-being. Amazon, of course, said it wasn’t liable, but this case opened the possibility of a future of holding the company accountable with more success. 

If your attorney can prove that Amazon could have prevented the crash, you can hold Amazon accountable for a failure of duty of care in multiple ways. Our St. Charles Amazon truck crash attorneys can help you determine what parties are responsible for your injuries and help you get the compensation you need.

Damages You Can Recover in an Amazon Truck Accident

If you were hit by an Amazon driver in St. Charles, you might be able to recover compensation for your pain. Some of the damages that you can collect include: 

  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of income
  • Mental anguish
  • Physical therapy
  • Medical bills
  • Property damage
  • Loss of companionship

You may be eligible to recover more damages if your accident warrants it. An Amazon truck accident lawyer in St. Charles, MO, can look at your accident details and determine if you have a case, and tell you what damages you can recover. 

Why It’s So Difficult to Hold Amazon Accountable

Holding Amazon accountable is extremely difficult due to its many protections. One of the biggest is their corporate lawyers. Their team is skilled at shutting down any claims of injury that are related to the company.

So when you say that one of their drivers caused an accident, they’re going to immediately deny it. But our lawyers have the evidence to prove it. We can generate conversation around the accident and show the physical proof that we have of your injuries. 

Another aspect that makes it difficult to hold Amazon responsible is that many of the drivers that deliver for Amazon are independent contractors, so the delivery giant claims that it can’t be held directly accountable. This means that if you’re holding the driver accountable, you would have to go through their insurance company. 

However, there is a general consensus that Amazon should be held liable for its delivery drivers’ accidents because they manage them so closely. Our Amazon truck accident lawyers in St. Charles, MO, can prove that Amazon is responsible for your injuries and hold them accountable.

Contact the Morelli Law Firm After You’ve Been Hit By an Amazon Truck Driver

Our attorneys at the Morelli Law Firm are ready to help you get the compensation you need to cover your injuries’ costs. We can defend your interests at all costs, with the insurance company or against Amazon itself in court.
