UPS Truck Accidents

In the last two years, UPS trucks have been involved in 2,563 accidents, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Of those UPS truck accidents, 927 resulted in injury and 56 were fatal. UPS trucks are heavy, move at high speeds, and slow to stop. They can be extremely dangerous, particularly when drivers are fatigued from long hours on the road.

Common Causes of UPS Truck Accidents in North Carolina

Many factors can contribute to UPS truck accidents across the United States, including:

• Driver fatigue
• Hours of service violations
• Mechanical problems
• Improper maintenance
• Alcohol and/or drug use
• Distracted driving
• Negligent hiring practices
• Failure to provide background checks
• Improper loading

There is no obligation and you won’t pay any attorney fees unless we win your case and you receive financial compensation in your UPS truck accident claim.

“Can I sue UPS for a truck accident?”

If you’ve been injured in a truck accident involving a UPS delivery truck, you may be entitled to compensation and can potentially file a claim or lawsuit against UPS. Parties that may be liable for a UPS truck accident include:

• The UPS truck driver
• UPS
• 3^rd party loading company
• Truck maintenance company
• The truck manufacturer

Every case is different and liability is often contested. That’s why it’s important to contact an experienced UPS truck accident lawyer immediately after the accident. We can investigate the truck crash and help determine liability. UPS delivery trucks have “black box” data recorders and dash cams, and we can use data and footage from both to help determine who may be at fault for the accident. At Riddle & Brantley, we also have a team of experienced truck accident investigators on staff. Many of these investigators previously worked in law enforcement. They know how to identify evidence, interview witnesses, and obtain important data that can be used to prove liability and strengthen your UPS truck accident claim. Evidence in truck accident cases can be extremely important. UPS tractor-trailer and delivery truck accidents are often very complex with a significant amount of evidence that must be evaluated. In some cases, our firm will bring in outside experts including accident reconstructionists and federal truck safety regulation experts. You don’t have to go through this alone.

Why Riddle & Brantley for a UPS Truck Accident Injury Case?

At Riddle & Brantley, our truck accident attorneys have been handling complex truck and tractor-trailer accident claims since 1985.

We’re proud of our record of success handling these cases, including these recent settlements (see disclaimer below):

• $9,450,000 — Our trial attorneys secured more than $9 million in separate settlements on behalf of surviving loved ones when a family of four was killed in a truck accident. We obtained black box data and even secured traffic data from Google Maps in order to prove liability.
• $2,250,000 — Attorney Gene Riddle fought for justice on behalf of the family of a young woman who was killed in a head-on truck accident when the truck crossed the center line. We brought in outside experts and partnered with attorney David Kirby of the Kirby Edwards law firm in Raleigh in order to prove liability. We won the settlement through mediation after advising defense counsel of our intent to file suit.
• $1,800,000 — We represented a truck driver who lost his left leg below the knee in a major crash involving another truck while he was working on the job. Attorney Gene Riddle negotiated separate settlements with the truck insurance company and the workers’ comp carrier, ultimately obtaining $1.8 million in total compensation for the victim.
