After frightening accidents caused by Amazon drivers, injured victims can be left to face growing medical bills and lost paychecks alone. That’s not fair when Amazon makes so much money while using local roads. Amazon should be fully liable for the mistakes of its employees.
Maison Law Accident & Injury Lawyers of Bakersfield offers a free, no-obligation consultation for all Amazon accident victims in Kern County. It’s a chance to learn how to hold a major delivery corporation fully responsible.
How Do I Figure Out If I Need a Lawyer After an Accident With an Amazon Truck?
If you are seriously injured in a collision caused by an Amazon driver, a Bakersfield Amazon Accident Lawyer can be a safeguard for your rights and add tremendous value to your case.
You’ll likely need the protection, because Amazon is the largest online retailer in the world and can easily afford teams of lawyers. These lawyers can be sent after you. They work to make it look like you caused the accident. They might be ready to downplay your injuries with statements from their own hired doctors.
Our attorneys go to work immediately, investigating what happened, looking into the driver’s record, and Amazon’s safety policies. Then we work on getting you the maximum amount on a settlement check as possible.
Our attorneys are often able to win you much more for your injury than if you took on Amazon yourself.
Do Amazon Delivery Drivers Carry Insurance?
Yes. Amazon covers its drivers with quite a large accident policy. But to be able to draw from the insurance after a collision, injured victims first have to hope Amazon doesn’t fight responsibility.
Even in accidents where the fault is clear, and a Bakersfield car accident report points to the delivery driver, Amazon can contest fault. They can delay support, limit support, and even reject claims outright if their lawyers are allowed to have their way.
If Amazon does accept that its driver was at fault, the corporation has an insurance policy covering up to $1 million in damages. That’s the upper limit, but the victim will take home whatever the totals are for their damages.
Unfortunately, the true effect of an injury on someone’s life can be argued over. The hospital bills and lost paychecks are easy to add up. But the pain that might linger, and the emotional trauma of being struck by a large truck and dealing with a debilitating injury, might cause disagreement. A skilled Bakersfield lawyer is a strong negotiator and makes sure your hardships can’t be ignored when it’s time to write a settlement check.
Winning Support for Amazon Van Accident Victims
Amazon is a $600 billion a year business. It’s only fair that its owners are held accountable when people get hurt because of their business practices. Those practices include sending large, heavy vans into Bakersfield neighborhoods each day. Their drivers can be distracted by orders and deliveries and by communications from headquarters…all making traffic accidents more likely.
Our Bakersfield truck accident lawyers turn up the pressure on big businesses when they try to escape blame for the mistakes of their employees.
Our attorneys would be demanding full compensation for these damages and others:
- All of the medical bills the victim receives and may receive in the future
- The paychecks that the victim must forfeit while they can’t work due to injury
- Additional support included in a settlement check for the pain Amazon truck victims are asked to endure
- Additional support for the emotional trauma caused by a horrifying collision and the mental anguish involved in a difficult medical recovery
- Support for the costs of travel for patients
The travel expenses can grow when patients can’t walk or drive for themselves. With severe injuries, victims may be required to travel to Los Angeles or Fresno to see specialists. These costs should be dropped in the lap of Amazon.
