Why Accidents Involving A FedEx Truck Often Need A Lawyer

September 11, 2014 Accident Attorney Uncategorized

People hurt in an accident involving a FedEx truck often need injury lawyer assistance to ascertain the circumstances of the accident and determine who is responsible. Though this freight company regularly receives accolades for its commitment to safety, it contracts nearly 45,000 drivers to deliver packages around the country every day. The sheer number of hours traveled by its fleet means that accidents are going to happen, even if the company itself maintains strict safety procedures.

When an accident does occur, it is usually due to the driver ignoring necessary safety regulations for the sake of speed. Delivery drivers are typically paid by the number of packages they deliver, so risk-taking is incentivized to an extent. This means drivers are more likely to speed, make sudden turns, and reverse their vehicle if they pass a destination. In their haste, workers may forget to engage the parking brake or push themselves beyond reasonable limits, leaving them fatigued while driving. In such cases, a truck accident lawyer may be able to help the injured party get the compensation they deserve.

Personal injury attorneys are highly connected professionals and can thoroughly investigate a crash on behalf of the victim. The details of the wreck will be used to build the victim’s case in an effort to get a favorable settlement during the negotiation process.
