Can I File a Claim if I Was Injured on Public Transit?
We depend significantly upon delivery drivers, especially in more recent years. Being a delivery driver is no easy task, and unfortunately, at times, the various pressures associated with being one can lead to some very serious collisions. If you were recently injured in a crash caused by a delivery driver, you should strongly consider retaining the services of a competent Miami delivery driver accident lawyer who can help you fight for the compensation you need to heal.
Sometimes, when people are hurt, they wonder whether they truly need to hire an attorney to file a lawsuit. While you technically can file a lawsuit without an attorney, this is never recommended. Our firm has extensive experience dealing with insurance companies, gathering evidence, and, if necessary, preparing clients and their cases for trial. With the right Miami auto accident lawyer in your corner, you stand a far greater chance of obtaining a favorable settlement.
Collisions involving delivery drivers happen for many of the same reasons that other auto collisions occur, though due to the large size of many delivery vehicles, there is the added complication of difficult maneuvering. Just some of the most common causes of delivery driver crashes are as follows:
Once we determine whether you should have a valid injury claim, we will then have to assess exactly who is responsible for your injuries. For example, if you were injured by a delivery driver for Amazon, GrubHub, or another company whose drivers are technically independent contractors, we will have to sue the driver’s private motor vehicle insurance for your compensation.
On the other hand, drivers for FedEx, UPS, or USPS, for example, are considered full-time employees, so we will likely sue their company for compensation. Though suing a major company for compensation may seem daunting, with the help of a competent delivery driver accident lawyer, it doesn’t have to be. We’re prepared to fight for the full compensation to which you are entitled.
The statute of limitations for personal injury claims here in Florida is two years. This gives injury victims two years from the date of their injury to sue for the injuries they sustained. Our law firm is here to begin the claims process on your behalf today. All you have to do is reach out, and we can get started working on your case.
Delivery drivers are held to the same standard as all other motorists. When they behave negligently and cause serious injuries as a result, they deserve to be held accountable. That’s why we’re here.
