Four Corners Delivery Truck Accident Lawyer
Online shopping is popular in Four Corners and throughout the state. In fact, Florida is a leading state for shopping on the internet, and many other states are not far behind. The result is a constant stream of packages being generated – 58 million parcels per day throughout the U.S., or an amazing 674 parcels per second.
Since all these packages need to be delivered to the people who ordered them or to their gift recipients, there has been a tremendous increase in the number of delivery trucks on the streets and highways throughout Florida. Unfortunately, these delivery trucks are prone to causing accidents – not only because there are so many of them, but also because their drivers are often dangerously fatigued.
When a delivery truck collides with a smaller and lighter car, the force of the impact can cause the people in the car to be severely injured. If you were recently seriously hurt in an accident that involved a delivery truck, you may be experiencing many life-altering challenges. The experienced Dennis Hernandez Four Corners delivery truck accident lawyers understands these challenges and wants to help. We have been helping injured accident victims throughout Florida for over twenty-five years and will put our experience, skill and resources to work helping you obtain the substantial compensation you deserve.

What Causes Delivery Truck Accidents in Four Corners?
Most delivery truck accidents happen because someone was negligent. Often, it’s the delivery truck drivers. Their employers pressure them to deliver packages as quickly as possible. To meet their delivery quotas, the truck drivers may sacrifice safety for speed. They may drive too fast, perform unsafe maneuvers, and keep on driving long past the point when they should have stopped to rest.
When delivery truck drivers are too tired to drive safely, they can cause accidents. A study found that drivers of commercial vehicles were fatigued in 13% of the accidents they were involved in. Drowsy drivers have impaired judgment, are easily distracted, and can doze off while they are driving.
Other people and/or companies may also cause or contribute to a delivery truck accident because of their negligence. In some cases, the driver’s employer can be held legally responsible for the actions of the driver. Truck manufacturers, maintenance and repair crews, and the people responsible for loading the truck may also be at fault for the accident.
The Dennis Hernandez Four Corners delivery truck accident lawyers will thoroughly investigate your accident, identify all the potentially at-fault parties, and file a claim or lawsuit to hold them financially responsible for your injuries.
