Texas-Made Lawyers Help Victims of FedEx Truck Accidents Obtain Maximum Compensation

Commercial delivery companies like Federal Express and UPS ship vast amounts of packages and documents around the country, and to make themselves marketable, they keep truck drivers on the roads 24/7 so they can promise quick deliveries. That means truck accidents can occur anytime, anywhere. The busier these companies get, the greater the potential for collisions with other vehicles.

Because FedEx trucks are usually much bigger than the vehicles they hit, the driver and passengers in other vehicles often suffer devastating injuries. But even those who are severely injured in FedEx Truck accidents often have a hard time recovering compensation from the responsible parties because the corporate legal teams and insurance companies start creating challenges for victims right away.

If you or a loved one were injured in an accident involving a truck driver transporting packages for Federal Express, UPS, or a similar company, it is unlikely that you will recover anything close to what your claim is worth unless you start working with an attorney who knows how to win a personal injury lawsuit involving trucking companies. At DeKeyzer Law, we have a track record of helping commercial truck accident victims gain the maximum compensation for their losses, and we are ready to put that experience to work for you.

What to Do After an Accident with a FedEx Truck

While a personal injury lawsuit focuses on gaining monetary damages for your losses after a FedEx truck accident, the most important step to take after an accident protects your physical, mental, and emotional health as much as your financial health. You need to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow all instructions for follow-up care, even if you don’t notice any signs of injury.

Very often, the adrenaline that rushes through your body after a traumatic event like a truck accident will hide pain and other injury symptoms. Moreover, many serious injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, can take time to develop, so you may not realize how badly you are injured for some time. A doctor may be able to detect injuries such as organ damage and internal bleeding and start critical treatment right away.

Seeking medical attention immediately after a FedEx truck accident is important not only from a medical standpoint but also from a legal one. In a personal injury lawsuit, to recover damages, you will need to demonstrate the extent of your injuries and show how the injuries are the direct result of the accident. A prompt and thorough medical exam and follow-up treatment will provide the records you need to hold the responsible parties accountable for your losses.

After ensuring that your medical needs are met, you need to begin working to preserve evidence for a personal injury lawsuit. Even if the case settles out of court, you will get a better settlement offer when you are prepared to show that you will win your case if it were to go to trial. Working with an experienced injury attorney is the easiest way to make the necessary preparations. Your attorney can gather evidence at the accident scene and find any footage from traffic cameras that might show the accident or the actions of the truck driver just before the accident. Your attorney can also talk to witnesses and investigate to locate other critical evidence. If you are able to, it is helpful to take photos of the scene right after an accident and ensure that a police report is filed, but often, injuries prevent you from taking these actions at the scene of the accident.

At DeKeyzer Law, we can start working right away to build your strongest case for recovery after a FedEx truck accident. We can also handle all the questions from insurance companies, other attorneys, and investigators so that you can have the time you need to focus on recovering your health and rebuilding your life.

FedEx Truck Accident Injuries

When a heavy commercial truck crashes into a passenger vehicle, those inside are often seriously injured or killed. Unfortunately, we are often called on to help the families of victims recover compensation through wrongful death claims after a truck accident.

Truck accidents frequently cause injuries such as:

  • Spinal cord damage and paralysis
  • Amputations and crush injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Burns
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Damage to internal organs
  • Complex bone fractures

Seeking medical attention immediately after the accident can help minimize the damage from these injuries, but in many cases, victims of FedEx truck accidents never fully heal and may require a lifetime of medical care and assistance.

Compensation Available for Victims of FedEx Truck Accidents

A personal injury lawsuit can help victims obtain compensation to offset many different types of losses stemming from a FedEx truck accident. This includes economic losses and non-economic losses that are intangible but have a huge effect on the quality of your life. Holland and Meagan DeKeyzer work to ensure that insurance companies pay fair compensation for losses you’ve experienced already as well as those that can be expected in the future. A damage award might include amounts for:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost income due to time missed from work
  • Past medical bills
  • Emotional anguish
  • Disfigurement
  • Future medical expenses, including rehabilitation
  • Reductions in future earning power
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

Insurance companies will often offer a quick settlement that provides far less than you would be entitled to receive when each of these factors is accounted for separately. An experienced attorney can break down the amounts based on legal precedent and the unique circumstances of your case so that you will know whether a settlement offer is fair.
