Los Angeles Delivery Truck Accident Attorneys

Delivery truck drivers are often in a hurry to get packages and documents to their destinations as quickly as possible. This rush often leads to speeding and negligence behind the wheel, resulting in serious injury or death to innocent motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians. At Estey & Bomberger, our Los Angeles auto accident attorneys represent accident victims seriously injured in delivery truck accidents in Los Angeles. We take every step necessary to ensure our clients receive full and fair compensation for their serious injuries, or the wrongful death of a loved one in a fatal accident.

Types of Delivery Trucks

Delivery trucks include all types of vehicles (not just trucks) that deliver or pickup packages, food, goods or documents from residences or businesses. This includes UPS trucks, FedEx trucks, dry cleaning vans, pizza delivery vehicles, courier vans, and commercial vans. Regardless of the type of vehicle, if you were injured in a delivery truck accident, the delivery truck's commercial insurance carrier will likely argue that you were either fully or partially at fault for the collision. An experienced delivery truck accident lawyer can protect your rights and help you receive the compensation you deserve for your injuries, lost wages and pain and suffering.

Injuries Due to Delivery Truck Accidents

Delivery trucks, such as UPS trucks and FedEx trucks, are often larger than the passenger vehicles they collide with. This makes injury victims especially susceptible to serious or catastrophic injuries. Injuries that may occur in a delivery truck accident include:

1. Amputation injuries
2. Brain injuries
3. Bone fracture injuries
4. Torn ligaments
5. Joint dislocations
6. Spinal cord injuries
7. Burn injuries
8. Facial injuries
9. Wrongful death.

FMCSA Regulations for Delivery Trucks

Some delivery trucks (including UPS and FedEx trucks) are subject to regulations set forth by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The laws set forth by this governmental agency are intended to prevent accidents by establishing mandatory requirements for the safe operation of vehicles. FMCSA regulations include maintenance and repair requirements, mandatory recording of driver hours of service, training requirements, and mandatory drug and alcohol prevention programs. The Los Angeles truck accident lawyers at Estey & Bomberger are familiar with these federal regulations and will determine if failure to comply with the FMCSA rules is a factor in your accident.
