Westchase Delivery Truck Accident Lawyer
The number of purchases made online continues to grow in Westchase and throughout Florida. Nationally, people spend more than $90 billion every month shopping online, and Florida is one of the leading states for e-commerce.
Consumers enjoy the convenience of shopping at home and having their purchases delivered to their doors. All that convenience, though, has a tragic downside. Thousands of delivery trucks are needed to carry the packages from warehouses or other points of origin to their destinations, and these trucks are prone to getting into accidents. Because they are big and heavy, they often cause serious injuries when they crash into other motor vehicles.

How Much Compensation Can I Receive for My Injuries in a Westchase Delivery Truck Accident Lawsuit?
Even though Florida is a no-fault state, if your injuries are serious, and someone else’s negligence contributed to the accident, Florida law gives you the right to file a claim or lawsuit against the negligent parties for amounts that are far higher than what you can get from your no-fault insurance policy.
When you have serious injuries, you may need medical treatment both now and in the future. You may need long-term or life-long care, rehabilitation, assistive devices, and other items and services to deal with the effects of your injuries. It’s common to suffer from depression or anxiety, to lose income and earning power, and to miss being able to do all the things you could do before your accident. Your family is likely to be going through a hard time as well because of your injuries.
When your injuries are serious and affect your life in many ways, the compensation may be substantial, including compensation for:
- Medical expenses, including hospital stays, doctor visits, diagnostic tests, surgeries, other medical treatments, rehabilitative services, medication, assistive devices, and home care
- Physical pain and suffering
- Disfigurement, disability, and permanent scarring
- Lost income and diminished earning capacity
- Mental anguish, trauma and anxiety
- Diminished capacity to enjoy life
- Your family’s loss of your guidance, companionship, and assistance
- Other damages recoverable under Florida law

What Causes Delivery Truck Accidents in Westchase, Florida?
The world of online retail companies and delivery companies is filled with cut-throat competition. Companies try to attract more customers by having the fastest delivery times. Unfortunately, this often means that companies put intense pressure on their delivery drivers to make numerous deliveries in short periods of time. The result is that drivers go too fast and don’t stop to take breaks even when they are so tired that they are a danger to others on the road.
Delivery drivers also often put others at risk by not paying attention to the road and by making abrupt turns and stops. Delivery trucks and vans are also harder to maneuver, and large delivery semi-trucks need much more time than cars to come to a stop. For all these reasons, accidents involving delivery trucks happen far too often.
Injuries From Westchase Delivery Truck Accidents
The force of the impact when a delivery truck crashes into a car often causes serious injuries to the people inside the car. Common injuries include:
- Permanent scarring and other types of disfigurement
