FedEx delivery vehicles are designed to hold large amounts of cargo. When one of these vehicles collides with a car, the resulting wreck can put the victim at serious risk.

In the years since our firm was established, we have recovered millions of dollars in compensation, achieving successful results through shrewd negotiation and aggressive litigation.

The Causes Behind FedEx Accidents in Texas

One of the most important steps in filing a personal injury claim is to identify the cause of the accident. This will establish who is liable and therefore responsible for covering your damages. Some of the common causes behind FedEx accidents include:

• Distracted driving due to a delivery driver's personal cell phone or other devices inside the vehicle
• Fatigued driving as a result of a delivery driver working long hours
• Driving while intoxicated
• Excessive speeding or making unsafe turns to make a delivery route on time
• Malfunctions in the delivery vehicle
• Negligent hiring or training practices by FedEx
• Improper loading of packages

At Burress Injury Law, we will take the time to fully investigate the accident, looking for evidence to support your claim. Witness statements, photographs, videos, black box data, and even the delivery driver's logbook hours can help us reconstruct the crash to better understand what happened.

Who Is Liable for a FedEx Accident?

While a standard car accident may just have one liable party, a FedEx accident may have multiple moving parts behind it. Naming all of the liable parties is critical for getting maximum compensation for your damages, and when you work with our firm, we will make sure nothing is overlooked in our investigation.

As previously mentioned, the FedEx driver could be liable for various acts of negligence such as drunk or distracted driving. FedEx itself could also be held liable under the legal principle of vicarious liability, which states that employers are responsible for damages caused by employees performing expected work duties. This principle can apply even if the driver was an independent contractor, as FedEx could be treated as a direct employer if it exerted significant control over the contractor.

Other parties could also be made to pay for your damages if their negligence played a role in the accident. We may be able to pursue a claim against the cargo loaders, the maintenance team, or the vehicle manufacturer based on the specific facts of your case.
