Florida Laws Impacting Amazon Truck Accident Claims
Several Florida laws play a significant role in Amazon truck accident cases. Take the following laws, for example:
- Florida Statutes § 627.737: Florida follows a no-fault insurance system, which means personal injury protection (PIP) insurance covers certain damages, such as medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of fault. However, to file a lawsuit beyond PIP limits, the victim must have sustained a serious or permanent injury, as defined by this statute.
- Florida Statutes § 95.11(5)(a): This statute establishes a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Victims must file their lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident to protect their right to seek compensation.
- Modified comparative negligence: Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can only recover damages if you are found to be 50% or less at fault for the accident. If you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover compensation.
Our Miami Amazon truck accident attorneys can determine how they apply to your particular situation when pursuing compensation for your injuries.
Who is Liable in a Delivery Truck Accident?
Delivery truck accidents can involve multiple parties, each potentially responsible for the damages. Potentially liable parties include:
- Delivery drivers: Drivers who engage in negligent behaviors like speeding, distracted driving, or violating traffic laws may be held accountable for causing the accident.
- Third-party delivery companies: Many Amazon drivers work for contracted delivery companies. These companies may be liable if they fail to properly train drivers, enforce unsafe schedules, or neglect their duty to supervise employees.
- The delivery company: Amazon’s strict delivery policies, tight deadlines, and performance demands can create unsafe conditions. The company may also face vicarious liability for accidents caused by its drivers or contractors.
- Truck manufacturers or maintenance companies: If the accident was caused by mechanical issues such as faulty brakes or tire blowouts, liability may fall on the vehicle’s manufacturer or the company responsible for inspecting and maintaining the truck.
The Schiller Kessler Group thoroughly investigates each case to determine who is responsible. This includes reviewing driver records, delivery logs, and maintenance reports while consulting with experts to uncover the truth.
Liable parties often attempt to shift blame or deny responsibility, but our team works to hold all accountable parties to their obligations.
Steps to Take After a Miami Amazon Truck Accident
After an Amazon truck accident in Miami, there are specific actions you should take to protect your well-being and your claim. Start by getting medical attention, even if you did not have to go to the hospital or don’t think your injuries are severe. Medical records also serve as documentation for your case.
Report the accident to the police to ensure an official accident report is filed. If it is safe to do so, take photos of the vehicles, any visible injuries, and the road conditions. Get the contact information of witnesses and anyone involved in the collision.
Avoid talking to insurance companies or signing any paperwork without consulting an attorney, as insurers may try to reduce what you are owed. Reach out to The Schiller Kessler Group for a free consultation to discuss your case and your legal options.
