Attorneys Representing Victims of Amazon Truck Accidents in Schaumburg

Amazon trucks have become a common sight on Schaumburg roads, reflecting the demand for quick deliveries. However, the presence of these trucks also brings an increased risk of accidents.

Schwartz Injury Law provides skilled and dedicated representation for victims of Amazon truck accidents in Schaumburg. With a proven track record of success, we are committed to helping victims recover the compensation they deserve for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Determining Liability in Amazon Truck Accidents

Liability in Amazon truck accidents can be complex, often involving multiple parties. Our attorneys conduct thorough investigations to identify all negligent parties and hold them accountable. Potentially responsible parties may include:

• Amazon as a Company: Amazon's policies, quotas, and deadlines often contribute to unsafe driving practices by delivery drivers. While Amazon classifies most of its drivers as independent contractors to try to avoid liability for accidents, the company may still bear responsibility for enforcing unsafe practices.
• Delivery Drivers: Drivers may be held liable for negligence when transporting items or making deliveries, such as speeding, distracted driving, or driving while fatigued.
• Third-Party Delivery Companies: Many Amazon deliveries are handled by subcontracted companies. These entities may share liability for improper hiring, training, or vehicle maintenance.
• Vehicle Manufacturers: Defective truck parts, such as brakes or tires, can lead to accidents. Manufacturers may be liable for accidents caused by parts that break down or fail to function correctly.

By identifying all liable parties, we can help maximize the compensation available to victims and ensure that justice is served.

Unique Factors in Amazon Truck Accident Cases

Fatigue and Long Hours

Amazon delivery drivers often work long shifts to meet demanding schedules, leading them to become tired or drowsy. Driver fatigue can impair judgment, slow reaction times, and increase the likelihood of accidents. Our lawyers investigate driver schedules and records to uncover evidence of unsafe practices.

Improperly Loaded Vehicles

Amazon trucks carry a wide variety of goods, and improper loading can cause weight imbalances. These imbalances may lead to rollovers, difficulty braking, or other hazards, especially on busy Schaumburg roads.

Navigating Unfamiliar Areas

Delivery drivers frequently travel to unfamiliar locations, relying on GPS systems for navigation. This can lead to sudden stops, missed turns, or erratic driving behavior, increasing the risk of collisions.

Distracted Driving

Amazon drivers may use handheld devices to communicate with dispatchers, track deliveries, or look up directions. These devices or other activities like eating and drinking can be dangerous distractions for delivery drivers. Distracted driving is a significant factor in Amazon truck accidents, and we work to hold drivers and their employers accountable for unsafe practices.

Tight Delivery Deadlines

Amazon's fast delivery promises put immense pressure on drivers to meet tight deadlines. This can lead to speeding, aggressive driving, or skipping necessary breaks, all of which can create dangerous conditions that may make accidents more likely.

Recoverable Compensation for Amazon Truck Accident Victims

Victims of Amazon truck accidents often face significant financial and personal challenges, including extensive medical bills, lost income, and other damages. Compensation may include coverage for medical expenses such as emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatments. It can also address the income lost due to an injury, including both past wages lost during recovery and future earnings affected by an inability to work.

In addition to economic losses, victims may be compensated for pain and suffering, which will address the physical and emotional toll of an accident. Property damage, including repair or replacement costs for vehicles and belongings, is another crucial component of compensation.
