Commercial Vehicle Accident

Key Takeaways:

• Personal injuries from commercial vehicle accidents can be extensive and expensive, so you will need a skilled Maryland accident lawyer to fight against commercial vehicle companies and their insurers.
• Determining liability in an Amazon delivery vehicle accident can be challenging, but a Maryland personal injury lawyer can help determine who should be the target of the insurance claim to pursue compensation for damages like medical bills.
• Independent contractors typically have different insurance coverage than Amazon employees, but any professional driver should have liability insurance that you can pursue for medical expenses and other damages.
• It can be incredibly difficult to contact Amazon customer service, but our dedicated personal injury attorneys know how to get through the roadblocks and connect with a real person to pursue fair compensation.

Amazon trucks are becoming increasingly common on the road as the delivery service continues to grow. In fact, Amazon has more than 275,000 drivers delivering over 10 million packages each day. With the increased number of delivery trucks on the road, it’s far more likely that you may get into an accident with one of them. While seeking compensation for these accidents is possible, the process and insurance policies can be challenging to navigate independently.

At Bowers Law, we have extensive experience helping commercial vehicle accident victims pursue the compensation they need for damages, including clients with Amazon delivery accident claims. Take a closer look at how we can help you through the commercial vehicle accident claims process and discover why you should hire a Cecil County truck accident lawyer to handle your claim.

Types of Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Commercial vehicle accidents come in many forms, and the nature of the accident often depends on the kind of vehicle encountered. The following are some of the most common types that occur on the road that truck accident attorneys see:

• Semi-trucks
• Work vans
• Delivery vans
• Work trucks

Does Amazon Cover Accidents Caused by Their Delivery Vans?

Yes, Amazon does cover accidents caused by their delivery vans, but getting that coverage can be especially difficult. At Bowers Law, we can take care of communicating with Amazon for you while you focus on getting the medical treatment you need.

Getting Amazon or their proper insurance representative on the phone is more complicated than you might think, as they seemingly have a bureaucratic shell game to wade through before connecting to a representative who can help. Our lawyers know how to navigate this labyrinth efficiently to reach people who matter and argue for the compensation you deserve after Amazon vehicle accidents.

Who is Liable in an Amazon Delivery Truck Accident Claim?

Liability in an Amazon delivery truck accident depends on whether the driver is an employee or an independent contractor. Independent contractors can be personally responsible for any damages rather than Amazon as a whole, while Amazon is liable for its full-time employees. In most cases, you can file a claim through Amazon Flex insurance to get compensation, as even independent contractors often have that coverage as Amazon Flex drivers.

However, Amazon’s insurance coverage does not apply when the driver is off duty at the time of the accident, so you would need to file through the driver’s insurance provider instead. The details can be complicated, so having an experienced attorney on your side with relevant insurance information and knowledge of which entity to file your claim against is essential.
