Delivery trucks are responsible for all types of deliveries, from flowers, to mail, to packages to businesses and homes. All delivery trucks are subject to federal regulations required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, FMCSA. These laws set mandatory requirements for safety in the operation of commercial trucks, including: mandatory recording of driver hours of service, specific maintenance and repair requirements for the trucks, and programs for prevention of drug and alcohol use for drivers, driver training requirements.

Some of the most common types of delivery trucks include:

• FedEx, Federal Express
  
• UPS, United Parcel Service
  
• Mail Courier Trucks
  
• Ice Cream Trucks
  
• PODS Trucks
  
• Commercial Freight Trucks
  
• Tool Vender Trucks, such as Snap-On
  
• Furniture Movers

Causes of Delivery Truck Accidents

Delivery drivers can be in a rush to get deliveries made on time, which may cause the drivers to not be as careful as they should. When the drivers of delivery trucks are careless or otherwise negligent, there could be a case for negligence, if any of these acts or similar, was the cause of your injuries:

• Drivers traveling with excessive speed
  
• Drivers failing to yield the right of way
  
• Failure to set a parking brake when stopped
  
• Failing to obey posted signage, such as reduce speed signs
  
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  
• Failing to keep vehicle properly maintained

When a driver of a delivery truck chooses not to be as careful as possible when making their deliveries are putting not only themselves at risk, but anyone else who is on the road, other drivers, passengers, even pedestrians. Delivery trucks are much larger than passenger vehicles and much more likely to cause serious injury in the event of an accident.

Unfortunately victims of delivery truck accidents are more likely to suffer broken bones, fractured bones, spinal cord injury, brain injury, lacerations and contusions, back injury, neck injury, even amputation or death. In the case of delivery truck accidents, you may be able to recover funds for medical expenses, ongoing treatments, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other expenses related to the accident.
