Due to individuals and families working hard in our roller coaster economy, this enables us to be busy with picking up items needed in the household or the office. This in essence leads people and corporations every day to rely on delivery motor vehicles to conveniently deliver their products or services. Lots of major corporations such as Fed Ex, UPS, Staples and Cintas rely on these vehicles to help perform their basic business operations. But often, delivery truck drivers are under tight deadlines which can often lead to bad judgment behind the wheel. In other situations, companies slack on the required maintenance for their fleet of delivery trucks and equipment failure causes an accident.

​When you’re following a delivery truck accident, having a thorough investigation is vital to distinguish the cause of the accident and who is responsible.

​These possible at-fault parties may include:

1. The delivery truck driver who was simply driving too fast, texting while driving, etc.
2. The driver’s employer who is vicariously liable for the driver’s negligence
3. The driver’s employer who may be independently liable for negligently hiring or retaining the driver
4. The manufacturer of the delivery truck who supplied defective equipment and is subject to a product liability lawsuit;
5. A maintenance company who failed to properly service the vehicle.
6. The manufacturer of the tires on the delivery truck who supplied a defective product.
