People are doing a lot of their shopping online these days, especially in Florida. In Palm Harbor, throughout Florida, delivery trucks are a common sight on the roads. They line our residential streets and speed down our state roadways.

While shopping online often makes people’s lives easier, it has come with a tragic cost. Delivery trucks cause many devastating accidents.

How Do Delivery Truck Accidents Happen in Palm Harbor?

Some of the most common ways that truck driver negligence causes crashes include:

Delivery drivers whose fatigue causes them to doze off behind the wheel or to have slow reaction time or bad driving judgment.
Delivery drivers who are speeding or breaking other traffic laws.
Delivery drivers who don’t watch where they are going because they are looking for addresses on homes or using their devices.
Delivery drivers who are impaired by alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, fentanyl, or other legal or illegal drugs.
Delivery drivers who have trouble handling their trucks because they are inexperienced and poorly trained.

As your delivery truck accident lawyers, we will thoroughly investigate the accident and gather and present the evidence needed to show that the driver (or other party) was negligent. This is a key part of proving that the negligent party should be held financially responsible for your injury-related expenses and losses.

Who Can Be Held Responsible in a Palm Harbor Delivery Truck Crash?

In a car accident, typically it’s only the driver who is held negligent. Delivery truck accident cases are more complex. In addition to the delivery truck driver, other parties may be negligent. These can include the delivery or retail company that employs the driver, the manufacturer of the truck, and the party responsible for maintenance and repair.

You have the best chance of receiving full compensation if you can identify and all the potentially liable parties in your lawsuit. The experienced Dennis Hernandez Palm Harbor truck accident lawyers have the resources and expertise to identify all the parties who should be held responsible for your injuries and pursue maximum compensation for you.
