Sanford Delivery Truck Accident Lawyer

In the city of Sanford, throughout Florida, and across the United States, people are using the internet to do more and more of their shopping. U.S. consumers are, in fact, ordering more than $90 billion of goods online every month, and Florida is a leading state for online purchasing.

Obviously, all the items that are ordered online have to be delivered to people’s homes or offices, and it takes a large number of delivery trucks and delivery truck drivers to get those packages where they need to go. According to statistics from the Occupational Outlook Handbook, more than 1,705,600 people are currently employed as delivery truck drivers in the U.S., and that number is expected to increase by 10% each year, much faster than the average job growth.

Unfortunately, delivery trucks are involved in numerous accidents in Florida and throughout the U.S. Delivery truck drivers are especially likely to drive negligently because of the pressure they are under to drive quickly to meet strict delivery quotas. To make things even worse, when a delivery truck collides with a car, the larger size and weight of the truck can cause the people inside the car to be severely injured.

If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury in a recent delivery truck accident, you may be facing many unanticipated difficulties.

What Causes Delivery Truck Accidents in Sanford, Florida?

Delivery companies and online retailers put enormous pressure on delivery truck drivers to deliver their packages at breakneck speed. The drivers’ employers may use GPS to track where the drivers are at every moment and call them if they stop for even a few minutes. Some drivers feel they can’t even stop to use the bathroom, much less to rest when they are getting tired.

It’s no surprise, then, that driver fatigue causes many accidents. Drivers who are drowsy are three times more likely to crash than drivers who are well-rested. Delivery truck drivers may also cause accidents because they:

Are distracted, looking for addresses on the street or checking their devices while driving.
Make sudden stops and turns when they realize they’ve overshot their destinations.
Lose control of their trucks due to inexperience or inadequate training.

The Dennis Hernandez Sanford delivery truck accident lawyers have the skills and resources to thoroughly investigate the cause of your accident and identify all the parties who acted negligently so you can bring a claim for damages against all negligent parties and obtain the substantial compensation you deserve.

In a crash involving a delivery truck, there may be multiple parties who could be held financially responsible for your injuries because their negligence contributed to the accident. These may include the driver, the company whose packages the driver was carrying, the driver’s employer, the truck’s manufacturer, and companies or people who worked on the truck’s maintenance and repairs.
