How an attorney can help after a delivery truck accident

We review police reports, question witnesses, and analyze the record of the delivery van driver. We consult with medical and vocational experts to determine the extent and value of your injuries. We review the insurance coverage of the owner of the delivery van, as well as your own coverage, to determine the best way to obtain maximum compensation for you.

Typical van accident causes

Delivery truck drivers cause accidents by:

• Failing to stop at red light or stop sign before turning right
• Causing an accident by being double-parked
• Causing emergency vehicle delays
• Running yellow and red lights

Not all delivery truck accidents are caused by the driver. Some are the result of poor maintenance by the van owner. Brake failure, tire blowouts can lead to catastrophic injuries.
