Austin Delivery Truck Accident Attorneys

Representing Delivery Truck Accident Victims Across Texas

More and more people in Texas and across the United States rely on the United States Postal Service (USPS) and package delivery companies like Lone Star Overnight (LSO), the United Parcel Service (UPS), DHL, and FedEx to procure all kinds of products. You almost certainly see USPS trucks and other delivery company trucks daily. As the drivers of these trucks are increasingly pressured to complete more and more deliveries each day, they may become more likely to lose focus, make mistakes, and cause accidents.  

If you get into an auto accident caused by a delivery truck, you should immediately speak to a seasoned legal professional. You may be able to seek compensation from the negligent driver and their employer. Our Austin delivery truck accident lawyers at National Trial Law have over 50 years of trial experience. They can aggressively represent you in cases involving private companies like LSO, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. We are known for our Texas roots and national reach. To that end, we are also prepared to enforce your rights under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) if you suffered injuries due to the negligence of a USPS truck driver, and we handle these claims nationwide. No matter the complexity of your circumstances, we will always fight to secure the maximum compensation available in your case.

What to Do After a Delivery Truck Accident in Austin

Whenever you get into an accident with a delivery truck, you should do everything you would typically do to preserve evidence and protect your rights in the minutes after a car accident. That includes calling the police, waiting for an officer to arrive and create an official accident report, documenting the scene, and getting the other driver’s name, address, phone number, insurance information, and license information. Then, reach out to our team at National Trial Law. We can walk you through your legal options after assessing the facts of your case.

Can I Sue the United States Postal Service for USPS Truck Driver Injuries? 

In short, yes, you have the right to take legal action against the federal United States government and seek compensation for economic and non-economic damages caused by a negligent USPS truck driver. These cases are subject to the procedures and requirements of the Federal Tort Claims Act. We understand how to approach FTCA claims and can help you navigate this complex, particular legal process. 

What Damages Can I Recover for Delivery Truck Accident Injuries in Austin, TX?

When a personal injury case involves a delivery truck driver employed by a private company like UPS, DHL, or LSO, you can seek economic and non-economic damages from the negligent driver and their employer. Remember that, in certain circumstances, the delivery company may still be liable for your injuries even if their employee was not negligent. For example, if there is evidence a delivery company failed to regularly inspect and maintain its vehicles and this inadequate maintenance led to a collision, you can sue the delivery company even though their driver was not necessarily at fault for the accident. 

You must start the legal process before the statute of limitations expires. In Texas, you have two years from the date of a delivery truck accident to bring a claim against the negligent truck driver and/or the delivery company. 

If someone suffers fatal injuries because of a delivery truck accident, the personal representative of their estate or the victim’s immediate family members have two years from the date they passed away to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

Our Austin delivery truck accident lawyers will work to secure just compensation for all losses, including:

  • Past, current, and future medical bills
  • Lost income and earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Mental pain and anguish
  • Loss of consortium
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

Package delivery companies are aware they are legally responsible for the conduct of their employees, which is why many will offer settlements to accident injury victims in the hopes of avoiding a trial. Do not accept any proposed settlement without reviewing it with an attorney familiar with delivery truck accident cases. Our goal is to facilitate an optimal outcome as quickly as possible, so we will advise when it makes sense to accept an offer and when it is in your best interest to go to court.
