Accidents Caused by Delivery Truck Driver Negligence
Causes of delivery vehicle accidents, like most commercial vehicle accidents, can range from driver fatigue and lack of proper training to improper truck maintenance or defective parts. In New York, however, delivery truck drivers tend to cause accidents in unique ways.
Throughout our years of practice, we have often seen accidents caused by drivers double-parking their delivery vehicles in busy commercial areas. Double-parking larger vehicles like this blocks the view of the road for most drivers. If a driver of a car or other vehicle attempts to go around the double-parked truck, inevitably accidents can occur. Often, these accidents involve hitting pedestrians in crosswalks or slamming into other vehicles, which all lead to serious injuries and, potentially, wrongful death.
If this situation sounds very similar to what happened to you, reach out to us. We will pursue obtaining the financial recovery you need and deserve from all potentially liable parties, including the driver and the driver's delivery company. If you were involved in a direct accident with a delivery vehicle, and the cause of that accident was a defective part or poor maintenance, we can also seek to hold the maintenance company or parts manufacturer liable.
