Why UPS Delivery Accidents Are Legally Complex
Accidents involving UPS trucks aren’t as straightforward as typical car accidents.
UPS is a massive corporation with extensive legal resources, experienced insurance adjusters, and policies designed to minimize its financial exposure.
Determining liability can involve multiple parties, including the driver, UPS as the employer, vehicle maintenance contractors, and even third-party logistics companies.
Additionally, commercial vehicle accidents are subject to federal regulations that do not apply to standard passenger vehicles.
Successfully pursuing a claim requires knowledge of these regulations and the ability to navigate the corporate structures that UPS uses to shield itself from liability.
Common Causes of UPS Delivery Accidents
UPS delivery accidents often result from:
- Aggressive delivery schedules that pressure drivers to rush through their routes
- Driver fatigue caused by extended working hours and demanding quotas
- Distracted driving from constantly checking GPS systems and delivery apps
- Improper vehicle maintenance due to cost-cutting or scheduling pressures
- Overloaded or improperly loaded trucks that affect handling and braking
- Hazardous parking and stopping practices during deliveries in residential and commercial areas
How We Build a Strong Claim Against UPS
Building a successful case against UPS requires thorough investigation and meticulous documentation.
Monge & Associates starts by examining the crash scene, gathering witness statements, and preserving critical evidence.
We obtain driver logs to check for hours-of-service violations and review maintenance records to identify any mechanical failures that may have contributed to the accident.
UPS trucks are equipped with black boxes and telematics systems that record speed, braking patterns, and other crucial data—information we know how to obtain and interpret.
When necessary, we work with accident reconstruction experts who can piece together exactly how the collision occurred.
This evidence matters because it establishes both liability and the extent of your damages. Every piece strengthens your position when negotiating with UPS’s insurers or presenting your case in court.
Keep in mind that Ohio’s statute of limitations generally gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, so it is important to begin the process early.
Common Injuries in UPS Delivery Accidents
Because of the size and weight of UPS delivery trucks, collisions often result in serious injuries that require extensive medical care.
Victims of these accidents commonly suffer from:
- 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, including PTSD
- Fatal injuries, in severe cases
What Compensation Can I Recover?
If you’ve been injured in a UPS delivery accident, you may be entitled to several types of compensation.
Economic damages cover your tangible financial losses, including medical bills, lost wages, and the cost of future care if your injuries require ongoing treatment.
Non-economic damages address the less quantifiable impacts of your accident, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life.
In cases where UPS or its driver acted with gross negligence or reckless disregard for safety, punitive damages may be available to punish the wrongdoer.
Steps to Take After a UPS Delivery Vehicle Accident in Cincinnati

- Document everything you can at the scene, including photos of vehicle damage, road conditions, and any visible injuries.
- Collect contact information from witnesses.
- Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters before speaking with a lawyer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Ohio?
Ohio generally allows two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically means losing your right to pursue compensation.
Will insurance talk to me?
Yes, and you should be cautious. UPS insurance representatives may contact you quickly, often hoping to get a recorded statement or settle your claim for less than it’s worth before you fully understand your injuries. Decline to speak to the insurance company and redirect the representative to your attorney.
How much is my UPS truck accident case worth?
Every case is unique, and the value depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost income, and the impact on your daily life. Monge & Associates can provide an accurate estimation of your claim value.
Do you handle cases on contingency?
Yes. You pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we secure compensation for you. This arrangement allows you to pursue your claim without financial risk.
