Prosper FedEx Truck Accident Lawyers

Your Path to Justice After a FedEx Truck Accident in Texas

As one of the largest package delivery companies in the world, FedEx is responsible for transporting millions of packages every day. Their fleet of delivery trucks can be seen on roads throughout Prosper, Texas and beyond. FedEx lacks optimal safety standards and we see accidents involving their delivery trucks very often, most of which result in serious injuries.

If you have been injured in an accident involving a FedEx delivery truck in Prosper, determining how to move forward may feel overwhelming. There are many legal complexities involved that will require the assistance of a skilled personal injury attorney and legal team with experience in these types of cases. At Burress Injury Law, our dedicated team understands the challenges you are facing, and we are here to guide you through this difficult time while fighting for your right to compensation. The best advice is to retain qualified personal injury legal counsel and refrain from talking to the insurance company about how the crash happened, your injuries or your medical treatment. The insurance adjusters are well trained in ways to minimize your claim on recorded phone lines.

Legal Issues That May Affect FedEx Delivery Truck Accidents

FedEx has made the jobs for its delivery truck drivers demanding and stressful as they are forced to meet tight deadlines. This and other factors can commonly cause preventable accidents to occur.

Distracted driving is one of the primary causes of accidents involving commercial vehicles like FedEx delivery trucks. Distractions such as using smartphones or GPS devices, eating or drinking behind the wheel, or reaching for objects within the vehicle take a driver's attention away from safely operating their truck.

Fatigue is another common issue among commercial drivers that can lead to accidents. Often, drivers work long hours while trying to meet demanding schedules imposed by their employers, and they can become tired or drowsy, affecting their ability to drive safely. Other times, drivers lack proper sleep or live unhealthy lifestyles, which affect their durability. Speeding is yet another factor that often contributes to accidents involving large commercial vehicles like FedEx delivery trucks. The sheer size and weight of these vehicles make it harder for them to stop quickly, and delivery drivers who exceed speed limits may be unable to avoid colliding with other cars on busy roads.

When accidents happen, determining liability can be complex. In many cases involving driver negligence, FedEx may be held responsible for the actions of its employees under a legal concept known as "vicarious liability." However, establishing liability requires a thorough investigation and an in-depth understanding of both state and federal transportation laws. FedEx will typically have risk managers, attorneys and accident reconstruction experts onsite within hours in an effort to sway liability in its favor. Often, FedEx representatives contact police officers in an attempt to change adverse crash reports. It is important to have qualified personal injury legal counsel with "boots on the ground" early on in the process to prove liability and causation and protect your interests.
