Compensation for Amazon Accidents: What You Deserve
If you’ve suffered injuries in an accident with an Amazon delivery driver, you may be eligible for both economic and non-economic compensation. Economic compensation covers medical bills, medication costs, rehabilitation expenses, and lost wages due to the inability to work. On the other hand, non-economic damages encompass subjective experiences such as pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium.
During a free case evaluation with Belal, he will carefully assess your case and determine the compensation you deserve. Our dedicated team will then work tirelessly to make that compensation a reality.
Amazon’s Insurance Policy: A Closer Look
Amazon mandates its drivers, especially those in the Amazon Flex program, to maintain the necessary insurance for delivering packages in their respective areas. Additionally, Amazon provides comprehensive insurance coverage, including auto liability, uninsured/underinsured motorist, and contingent comprehensive and collision coverage at no cost to delivery partners in states other than New York.
However, this coverage applies only when the driver maintains personal auto insurance and is actively delivering during the designated delivery block. If an accident occurs while the driver is commuting to or from work, their personal insurance may come into play, adding complexity to these cases.
Having an experienced attorney by your side gives you the best chance to navigate such complexities and increase your chances of success.
Understanding the Frequency of Amazon Accidents
Accidents involving Amazon drivers occur more frequently than one might assume. A study by the “SOC,” a democratic coalition of four labor unions representing over four million workers, revealed that nearly one in five drivers making deliveries for Amazon suffered injuries in 2021.
To put that in perspective, that’s nearly two-and-a-half times higher than the non-Amazon delivery industry. While some injuries stem from slips, falls, and cumulative trauma, a significant number result from accidents involving other motorists and pedestrians.
Can You Sue Amazon?
Suing Amazon directly poses challenges, primarily due to the classification of their drivers as “Independent Contractors” and other factors. Despite these challenges, it’s essential to understand that seeking compensation for your injuries is not precluded.
Belal and our team can conduct a thorough investigation to identify liable parties. For example, perhaps the accident was caused by a poorly maintained road. In such a case, the liable party would be those who were responsible for the road’s care.
We can find the truth and then use it for your case.
Immediate Steps After an Amazon Accident: Prioritizing Your Well-being
In the immediate aftermath of an accident with an Amazon delivery driver, prioritizing your safety is crucial. Move away from harm’s way if possible, assess injuries, call 911, and seek medical attention.
Exchange information with the Amazon driver and any witnesses without admitting fault. Collect evidence by taking photos and videos of damages, focusing on elements that may be repaired or removed soon. Contact your insurance company and, once these steps are completed, reach out to Belal for a free case evaluation.
