Why Do South Bradenton Delivery Truck Accidents Cause Serious Injuries?
Delivery vans and trucks are much heavier and larger than cars and other passenger vehicles. When a delivery truck and a car collide, the force of the impact often is most harmful to the people inside the smaller and lighter vehicle. Sadly, the result is often severe injuries, including:
- Spinal cord injuries, which may cause permanent or temporary loss of sensation, paralysis, or loss of bowel, bladder, and sexual function
- Traumatic brain injuries, which can cause severe confusion, behavioral changes, coma, or death
- Bone fractures, which can lead to complications that may be fatal
- Injuries to internal organs, arms, legs, hands, feet, face, back, or neck
- Burns
- Lacerations
These injuries are often life-changing. They may be disfiguring and/or disabling, and the effects can last for years or may be permanent.
The Dennis Hernandez South Bradenton truck accident lawyers will fight for your right to full compensation for your injuries. We will amass the evidence needed to demonstrate the full impact of your injuries on all aspects of your life, both now and in the future, including all the expenses and losses for which you deserve compensation.
What Causes Delivery Truck Accidents in the South Bradenton Area?
Online sellers and delivery companies compete to try to meet the public’s expectations of fast delivery of their packages. The companies impose strict requirements on their delivery truck drivers, putting a lot of pressure on the drivers to make more deliveries in shorter periods of time. As a result, delivery drivers often engage in negligent driving behaviors, including driving while drowsy, distracted driving, making abrupt turns and sudden stops, and driving too fast for road and weather conditions.
In addition, delivery companies and subcontractors may hire drivers who have little or no experience, and the companies may not properly train them. Inexperienced drivers can have trouble handling their trucks, especially in unexpected or emergency situations. The trucks themselves may have manufacturing defects that can cause accidents, or the trucks might be improperly maintained and repaired.
There may be more than one party whose negligence contributed to the occurrence of the accident. These negligent parties may include the:
- Driver of the delivery truck
- Owner of the delivery truck
- Employer of the delivery truck driver, if different from the truck’s owner
- Sellers of the merchandise the truck was carrying
- Manufacturers who made the truck and its parts
- Those responsible for repairing and maintaining the truck
- Those responsible for loading the truck
The Dennis Hernandez South Bradenton delivery truck accident lawyers will thoroughly investigate the cause of the accident and identify all negligent parties who should be held financially responsible for your injuries. Then we’ll fight for your right to full, fair compensation.
