UPS Truck Accidents

Often times, accidents involving UPS trucks tend to be very complicated due to the number of individuals or entities typically involved.  Statistics from 1998 to 2008 show that approximately 7,100 truck accidents occurred across Alabama, which also resulted in 132 fatalities.  At Citrin Law Firm, we have experience handling cases involving commercial vehicles such as UPS trucks, delivery trucks, and FedEx trucks.

The United Postal Service began in 1907 in Seattle, Washington as a private messenger and delivery service.  Its name was originally the American Messenger Company and would in time grow to become the United Postal Service we know today. Now located in Sandy Springs, Georgia, it has grown to become a leader in global supply chain management and is known for its gold shield logo.

If you or a loved one has been involved in a UPS truck accident, due to the negligent actions of another individual, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your losses and damages.  Our attorneys, here at Citrin Law Firm, believe that it is the negligent parties’ responsibility to pay for damages and harm they have caused to innocent individuals.

UPS Truck Accident Facts

Typically, there are many factors that contribute to UPS truck accidents. Many times these factors will lead to more serious injuries, sometime resulting in death.  Some common injuries usually associated with UPS truck accidents include:

• Poor maintenance
• Speeding
• Heavy Traffic
• Bad Weather
• Negligent Driving
• Reckless Driving
• Drivers Skill Level
• Driver Fatigue
• Defective Tires and Blowouts
• Brake Failure

These accidents can usually be avoided by providing the correct training to these individuals in order to improve their driving skills and performance.  However, studies have proven that one-third of all truck drivers were improperly trained.  This means that many drivers are not fully trained to handle all the duties that they are called upon to do.

Types of UPS Truck Accidents

Recent statistics show that the majority of truck accidents, injuries, and deaths are caused by vehicles weighing over 10,000 pounds. None the less, it is simple to understand these figures once we recognize the size difference between a UPS truck and a passenger vehicle. However, there are many different types of accidents that can cause an UPS truck accident.

A few causes of UPS accidents include:

• Construction Zones
• Truck Rollover Accidents
• Blind Spot Accidents
• T-Bone Collisions
• Air Brake Failure
• Tire Blowout
• Rear-End Collision

Additionally, adverse weather conditions, load shifts, and distractions are known to cause many accidents. In some cases, these accidents may alter the course of one’s life.
