How does the Amazon delivery process work?

Amazon deliveries either come from their fulfillment centers/warehouses or directly from their network of retailers. Amazon uses its own delivery system (Amazon Logistics – AMZL), which includes trucks, vans, and even drones to make deliveries from sellers to its fulfillment centers, between fulfillment centers, and directly to the purchasers. Amazon also networks with “Flex Drivers” who use their own vehicles to deliver Amazon products to the residences and businesses of York, PA.

What causes Amazon truck accidents in York, PA?

Our Amazon truck accident lawyers have the experience and working relationships to show the cause of your accident. Some of the many reasons Amazon trucks get into accidents include the following:

  • Speeding and committing other traffic violations to make more deliveries to earn more income.
  • Driving while tired to make more deliveries and meet specific deadlines.
  • Driving while distracted. Common distractions for Amazon truck drivers include looking at a GPS or another navigation device to understand which routes to take and where the driver’s destination is. Driver distraction also includes talking on a smartphone, eating, and drinking.
  • Lack of experience. Drivers of commercial trucks that usually transport goods to and between fulfillment centers, as well as drivers of box trucks and vans, should understand how to operate their specific type of truck.
  • Failing to be extra cautious when making deliveries in residential neighborhoods where children are playing.
  • Other causes of Amazon truck accidents in York include driver intoxication, driving too fast for weather and traffic conditions, and tailgating.

What are the different types of accidents that Amazon trucks cause in York, PA?

At KBG Injury Law, we handle all types of Amazon truck accidents, including the following:

  • Head-on collisions, broadsides, and sideswipes. These accidents can occur if an Amazon truck driver is distracted, lost, or doesn’t have enough room to pass, and at intersections.
  • Rear-end accidents. Amazon drivers are responsible if they drive too closely to cars in front of them for rear-end collisions.
  • Pedestrian accidents. Children and adults can suffer injuries in residential neighborhoods when Amazon drivers speed or fail to pay attention.
  • Bicycle accidents. Riders can suffer injuries or fatalities if an Amazon driver speeds or fails to see a rider because they are looking for a street address or because they hit a bicycle rider when they open the door to their Amazon truck.
  • Blind-spot accidents. Amazon drivers need to use extra caution to see around the sides and the back of their trucks.

Amazon truck accidents can also happen because Amazon drivers make frequent stops.

Who is responsible when an Amazon truck accident happens?

Our York Amazon truck accident lawyers review the contracts and agreements between Amazon and the drivers they use to determine who is responsible for a truck accident. At KBG Injury Law, we file personal injury and wrongful death claims against all responsible parties, including:

  • The driver of the Amazon truck
  • The owner of the truck, if the owner is different than the truck driver
  • Amazon or one of its affiliate companies may be responsible if the driver is their employee, if Amazon fails to vet or supervise their drivers, or if Amazon fails to inspect their trucks
