Amazon Truck Crashes: Legal Guidance and Safety Insight
Any type of accident can be scary, but being involved in an Amazon truck crash can be confusing and make you feel like you’ve already
With more and more construction sites popping up in cities and rural areas, it’s no surprise that dump truck accident statistics are on the rise. It’s estimated that more than 100 workers suffer fatal injuries every year due to accidents involving dump trucks – and the scariest part is that this statistic doesn’t include civilian injuries and damages.
If you or a loved one have suffered injuries in a collision with this type of heavy machinery, finding a reputable dump truck accident lawyer should be atop your list of priorities. Suffering dump truck collision injuries is a delicate situation, so it’s important to have the right legal advice as well as representation throughout the process.
Out of all the types of accident, dump truck collisions and crashes are among the most disastrous. Not only do they always involve at least one piece of heavy machinery in the dump truck, but the hydraulic and electrical elements found in this type of vehicle increase the chances of rolling, electrical injuries, as well as other damages.
Here’s the process we follow to determine who is liable for the damages.
The first thing our legal experts will do is assess your case and perform interviews with all relevant witnesses. During this step, we analyze your version of the story as well as the damages you have suffered to start building a case against the responsible parties.
Next, we move on to the investigation process. At this stage, we already have a few interviews under our belt, so we continue to seek relevant witnesses and gather all pieces of evidence that will help support your case.
It’s common for our legal attorneys to visit the collision site during this step because this can also reveal critical information and determine whether the crash was captured by nearby cameras.
Now, it’s time to review applicable legislation and laws that cover dump trucks, heavy machinery, and construction equipment.
At the same time, we also review laws around driver qualifications, schedules, and other relevant information that could influence the outcome of your case.
Once we have collected all the evidence and performed every interview, we start reviewing these pieces of information.
Your case truly starts taking shape during this process, and we keep you informed of any major changes or potential points that you may find interesting.
Once we’ve reviewed the evidence, our legal team will start to figure out which party or parties are responsible for the crash.
The responsibility could fall on the shoulders of a single party or be shared if the crash occurred due to a combination of reasons, like driver negligence and a poorly maintained dump truck.
Here are the steps you should follow after being involved in a dump truck accident.
If you are involved in a dump truck accident, the compensation you receive directly depends on the damages you have suffered. In most cases, victims can claim:
Dump truck accidents can occur for a wide range of reasons, so it’s necessary to figure out the true cause of the accident in order to hold the responsible party or parties accountable.
Tired, distracted, and otherwise negligent drivers can be at the root of a dump truck accident. If this is the case, it’s necessary to figure out if it’s due to true negligence, or if there was a related reason for the crash, like unreasonable schedules and deadlines.
Mechanical failures can also lead to dump truck accidents, but here it’s important to determine whether it was a factory issue or if it was due to lack of maintenance by the fleet manager.
Potholes and other road issues can cause dump trucks to lose control even when driving within the speed limit and cause disastrous collisions.
Inclement weather such as heavy storms can increase the chances of a collision. Here, it’s important to note that if you’re riding a motorcycle, dump truck accident injuries can be much more serious than victims who are driving a car.
