How Can You Hold Amazon Accountable for Its Actions?
Holding a major corporation like Amazon responsible for injuries caused by their commercial vehicles presents certain challenges. As one of the largest companies in the world, Amazon has vast resources to draw out legal proceedings and deny full liability. Some ways our South Bend personal injury lawyers pursue accountability include:
- Establishing driver negligence: Our team thoroughly examines the accident to prove the specific acts or omissions by the driver that caused harm.
- Proving agency relationship: We obtain evidence showing the driver worked for an Amazon delivery contractor under tight Amazon oversight and control.
- Spotlighting unsafe practices: If Amazon had unreasonable policies that may have factored into the crash, we bring this to light through documentation and witnesses.
- Targeting deep pockets: Naming Amazon as a defendant, in addition to the contracted delivery company, increases pressure to settle and brings their large insurance limits into play.
- Utilizing the legal system: If necessary, we take cases to verdict in court, where a public ruling may influence Amazon to resolve other victims’ claims fairly going forward.

How Can a South Bend Amazon Truck Accident Lawyer Help You After the Crash?
Being involved in a collision with a large commercial vehicle like an Amazon delivery truck can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with injuries. Understanding insurance claims and the legal system alone can greatly slow down your recovery efforts. An experienced Amazon truck accident lawyer can ease this burden by handling many important tasks on your behalf.
Our team will conduct a thorough investigation of the incident, including collecting evidence, taking witness statements, analyzing the accident scene, and obtaining all necessary medical records. This allows us to build a strong liability case against any potentially at-fault parties. We will also carefully assess the specifics of your particular matter to provide an accurate estimate of the potential value of your claim or damages award through settlement or trial.
If settlement negotiations with insurance carriers become necessary, our attorneys have finely honed skills to advocate effectively for optimal offers addressing all aspects of your damages. If talks reach an impasse, we are fully prepared to vigorously pursue litigation through to trial if warranted by the facts. By retaining our legal assistance through the entire process, you ensure your rights are protected while being able to focus your energy entirely on your health recovery from accident injuries.
How Much does it Cost to Hire a Truck Accident Lawyer?
Our team works on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t have to pay us for our services unless we win your case. This allows you to get legal help regardless of your financial situation.
It’s important to remember that any extra investigation resources we bring to your case, such as expert witnesses, may incur costs that you’ll have to pay out of pocket. But our legal services themselves are free of charge. If we win your case, we’ll take a percentage of your settlement to cover our legal costs.
