Why DHL Delivery Accidents Are Legally Complex

Filing a claim after a DHL delivery accident involves far more complexity than a typical car accident case. DHL is a multinational corporation with substantial legal resources and sophisticated insurance coverage designed to minimize payouts to accident victims.

Additionally, determining liability can be challenging because DHL may use a combination of company employees and independent contractors. 

Furthermore, commercial trucking operations are subject to federal and state regulations that do not apply to standard passenger vehicles.

Violations of these regulations can serve as powerful evidence in your case, but identifying them requires an attorney who knows where to look. 

Common Causes of DHL Delivery Accidents

DHL drivers face constant pressure to meet tight delivery schedules, which can lead to dangerous driving behaviors. Common factors that contribute to DHL delivery accidents include:

• Driver fatigue from long hours behind the wheel or demanding delivery quotas
• Distracted driving, including the use of handheld devices to navigate routes or scan packages
• Speeding or reckless driving to complete deliveries on time
• Improper vehicle maintenance leading to brake failures, tire blowouts, or other mechanical issues
• Inadequate driver training and experience
• Backing accidents in parking lots, driveways, and loading zones
• Failure to check blind spots or use mirrors properly

How We Build a Strong Claim Against DHL

At Monge & Associates, we approach every DHL delivery accident case with meticulous attention to detail. Our firm begins by gathering all available evidence, including police reports, witness statements, surveillance footage, and photographs from the accident scene. 

A critical component of our investigation involves obtaining records from DHL itself. These may include driver logs, employment records, training documentation, vehicle maintenance histories, and internal communications. This evidence can reveal whether the company failed to properly train its drivers, allowed fatigued employees to continue working, or committed another act of negligence.

We also examine whether DHL violated any federal trucking regulations or industry safety standards. Throughout this process, our attorneys handle all communication with DHL’s legal representatives and insurance adjusters.

Common Injuries in DHL Delivery Accidents

Victims of DHL accidents frequently suffer harm that requires extensive medical treatment and lengthy recovery periods. These injuries can affect every aspect of your life, from your ability to work and support your family to your capacity to enjoy daily activities. 

The injuries our clients have sustained in these accidents include:

• Traumatic brain injuries and concussions
• Spinal cord damage and paralysis
• Broken bones and fractures
• Internal organ damage
• Severe lacerations and burns
• Soft tissue injuries, including whiplash
• Psychological trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Victims of DHL delivery accidents may be entitled to recover compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover quantifiable financial losses, while non-economic damages address the more subjective impacts of your injuries. 

A successful claim may include recovery for:

• Medical expenses, including emergency care, surgeries, and medication
• Future medical costs for ongoing treatment or long-term care needs
• Lost wages from time away from work during your recovery
• Diminished earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to work
• Permanent disabilities and chronic pain
• Emotional distress and mental anguish
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Property damage to your vehicle and personal belongings
