Amazon requires an extensive network of delivery drivers to deliver more than 1.5 million packages daily. Most of these deliveries happen safely. However, serious Amazon delivery accidents do occur, and when they do, they present unique challenges. You deserve to know the obstacles that may arise when suing Amazon for a motor vehicle accident and effective strategies to overcome those obstacles.
After an accident with an Amazon delivery vehicle or any other vehicle, you need to prove who caused the crash and the value of your damages. Any car accident case can be complicated, but our car accident lawyers have found that Amazon accidents often present unique challenges because:
Amazon Hires Independent Contractors to Deliver Packages
The Amazon drivers you see driving around your neighborhood may not be Amazon employees. Instead, these drivers may be independent contractors. They may work independently or for small businesses that contract with Amazon Flex.
If you’ve been in a crash with an Amazon driver, you need to know:
- Who employs the driver
- Whether the driver was working at the time of the crash
- Who insures the driver
- Who may be liable for your accident damages
All of this information is necessary so that you and your car accident lawyer can pursue a fair recovery from the right parties.
