With the rise of Amazon and online shopping, you may have noticed branded delivery trucks on highways and in your neighborhood. While these trucks help you get your packages quickly, they can also be dangerous. If the driver neglects their duty to operate their vehicle safely and causes you harm, you can take steps after the accident to protect your rights, including seeking medical attention, contacting the police, gathering information, and partnering with a lawyer you can trust to seek the justice you deserve.

The aftermath of an Amazon truck accident can be overwhelming, and you may be unsure how to protect your rights. With the following actions, you can make a major difference in your claim:
Your health should always come first, so seeking medical attention after an accident, even if you feel fine, is crucial. Not only does this help identify any underlying concerns the accident caused, but it also creates a record of your injuries and notes about their cause. Your medical records are an essential piece of evidence for your claim, as they prove the existence of your injuries, rule out any pre-existing conditions, and contain notes about how you acquired your injuries.
If you were injured in an Amazon truck accident due to someone else’s negligence, you should contact the police. Once the authorities arrive, they will inspect the scene, take statements from everyone involved, and create a report. This report plays a significant role in your claim, providing insight into who caused the accident and the damages suffered.
If you are physically able to do so, gathering certain information after the accident can help build a strong claim. This information may include the following:
When collecting this information, avoid making statements that could be construed as admitting fault. For example, saying you did not see someone after an accident could imply you were not paying close attention and caused the accident.
Injuries from an Amazon truck accident can have a physical, emotional, and financial impact on your life. You deserve to focus on recovery instead of handling the legal process alone.
