Why DHL Delivery Accidents Are Legally Complex
DHL delivery accidents are legally complex because some of the company’s drivers are employees and others are independent contractors. Companies are vicariously liable for the negligent on-the-job actions of employees, but not contractors.
Monge & Associates can help you determine what relationship DHL had with the driver in your crash, so you’ll know exactly who you should pursue a claim against.
These claims can also be complicated by the fact that trucking companies must follow DOT and FMCSA regulations and must have reasonable policies in place to ensure safe operations. Otherwise, they can be held legally liable based on their own negligence.
Large companies like DHL also generally have aggressive defense teams and insurance adjusters who will fight to provide you the least compensation possible for your losses.
Common Causes of DHL Delivery Accidents
It’s important to identify the cause of the DHL delivery accident that harmed you. Some of the most common causes include:
- DHL drivers who are aggressive behind the wheel due to time pressure, often speeding or driving recklessly.
- DHL drivers who work too many hours and engage in fatigued driving
- DHL drivers who don’t receive the proper training or understand how to safely operate their vehicles
- DHL drivers who are paying attention to their app or GPS and driving distracted, especially in unfamiliar neighborhoods
- Improperly maintained DHL vehicles
- Overloaded vehicles
- Vehicles that are not balanced or loaded properly
- Drivers who stop in unsafe places during deliveries
These are just some of the many ways that failures on the part of DHL, or its drivers, could cause you to become involved in an accident.
How We Build a DHL Accident Claim
Monge & Associates has decades of collective experience building strong claims so we know how to gather evidence and present compelling arguments.
You’ll need to show that the defendant:
- Owed a legal obligation to you to exercise care behind the wheel
- Failed to fulfil that duty by behaving less carefully than a reasonable driver should
- Caused you harm as a direct result of that failure
Our firm will help you to gather the evidence necessary to do that from day one. We’ll work to investigate the scene of the crash, gather witness statements, obtain maintenance records and driver safety logs, and review company policies to identify signs of potential negligence.
We can also obtain black box data and telematics from DHL trucks, connect you with accident reconstruction specialists who can identify how the crash happened, and gather your medical records so you can prove the cause and extent of your losses.
Common Injuries in DHL Delivery Accidents
DLH vehicles are large vehicles that can cause significant damage when they become involved in an accident. Crash victims often sustain serious injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries and back trauma
- Broken bones and fractures
- Soft tissue injuries and whiplash
- Internal organ damage
- Cuts, bruises, and lacerations
- Psychological trauma and PTSD
- Fatal injuries in severe cases
The more severe your injuries, the greater the compensation you should be entitled to collect.
What Compensation Can I Recover?
Crash victims deserve to be “made whole” or paid for all economic and nonfinancial loss. As a result, you should be compensated for:
- Medical bills, including future care costs
- Lost wages, including any reduction in future earning power
- Non-economic losses, including pain and suffering
- Punitive damages if you can prove gross negligence.
Monge & Associates can help you to prove the extent of the harm you’ve experienced so you can get the full amount of money you deserve.
