Amazon Driver Hit and Run Accident

As Amazon expanded and created it’s own delivery service, the number of vehicles on the road with the Amazon logo we all know has increased significantly. Unfortunately, the number of incidents that have occurred as a result of these vehicles have also increased. Although some negligent drivers stay on the scene of the incident, many drivers do not – they hit and run.

Hit and run accidents tend to be much more complicated than accidents in which the liable driver stays on the scene and cooperates. Were you or a member of your family injured in an Amazon driver hit and run accident? If so, it is important that you seek legal assistance with the experts at our law firm as soon as possible. You might have grounds to file a lawsuit.

Some Causes of Amazon Delivery Vehicle Accidents

Vehicular accidents, in general, are typically caused by the negligent actions of a party. Some examples of the potential causes of Amazon delivery truck accidents include the following:

• DUI drunk driving or driving under the influence of prescription drugs
• Reckless driving, like speeding, tailgating, weaving in/out of traffic, cutting other drivers off, brake-checking, etc.
• Ignoring traffic rules and signals, including running stop signs, running red lights, failing to yield, etc.
• Distracted driving (with things both inside and outside the vehicle)
• Drivers rushing to meet deadlines due to employer expectations/pressure
• Drivers allowed on the road without licenses, the proper safety training, etc.
• Unsafe vehicle conditions
• Unsafe road conditions

In most cases, hit and run accidents are specifically associated with the negligent actions of the driver – after all, the driver would not run away after an accident otherwise. In some cases, the negligent actions of the driver could be a direct reflection of the negligent actions of the company that they are driving for. Regardless of the cause of the incident, affected parties can potentially experience dangerous injuries.

Possible Injuries that Victims Could Suffer

If an Amazon truck struck you and ran away after the accident, you could be left with a number of injuries. Some of the possible injuries that victims could suffer include the following:

• Head injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Neck injuries
• Back injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Hip injuries
• Pelvic injuries
• Fractures
• Nerve injuries
• Ligament injuries
• Sprains and strains
• Crushing injuries
• Severed limbs
• Road rash
• Burns

Some of the injuries that victims could suffer could cause long-term harm and sometimes even permanent harm. Regardless of the injuries that you or a member of your family suffered in an Amazon delivery accident, it is essential that you seek legal assistance immediately as you might have grounds to file a lawsuit.

Your Right to Sue – Is Amazon Liable?

Who is liable for my Amazon driver hit and run accident? Can I file a claim against Amazon if I don’t have the driver’s information? Yes, you could have grounds to file a lawsuit against Amazon given that you can prove that it was an Amazon driver that caused your accident. This is because like all other drivers on the road, Amazon drivers have a duty to exercise care at all times. When they breach their duty of care, they can directly contribute to incidents that harm others. In some cases, the negligent actions of Amazon drivers can transfer over to the company.

Depending on the details surrounding your accident claim, your accident could be covered by Amazon’s insurance policy. Amazon offers a million-dollar insurance in case of Amazon Flex auto accidents. Their insurance policy includes up to $1 million in liability insurance, up to $1 million in uninsured/underinsured coverage and up to $50,000 in comprehensive and collision coverage.

If you are interested in learning more about your right to sue, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our law firm immediately. Our lawyers will guide you every step of the way.

What If I Don’t Have the Driver’s Information?

Without a doubt, if the accident was a hit and run accident, then you will not have the driver’s information. In most cases, not having the driver’s information would mean that you can’t pursue an accident claim. However, everyone knows that Amazon tracks their drivers very efficiently. Drivers are monitored closely – so much that even Amazon customers awaiting deliveries sometimes have access to a live-tracking map that allows them to track deliveries.

Can Amazon track the drivers? Can Amazon find the location of the driver that hit me in a hit and run accident? The answer is simple – yes, Amazon can identify the driver that hit you and left the scene. Amazon knows where their drivers are at all times. It is very easy for Amazon to check their routes and identify the drivers that were in a specific location.

Because of that, you should ensure that you take note of the specific date, time, and location in which your hit-and-run accident occurred. Although Amazon could provide you with this essential information, you should never assume that they will be cooperative. Instead, you should contact a lawyer immediately to ensure that you have the representation that you need to start the legal process after your hit-and-run accident.

How to Prepare to File Your Claim

How do I file a claim against Amazon? After an Amazon driver hit and run accident, it is important that you act appropriately to prepare to pursue your accident claim. What should you do? Consider some of the recommendations listed below:

• Take photos of all your injuries
