Were you or a family member hurt in an accident with a delivery truck in the City of Long Beach? If so, you may deserve compensation from the driver or other parties who caused or contributed to your accident.

Ehline Law Firm assists people with Long Beach motor vehicle accidents, including lawsuits against FedEx delivery truck drivers and other delivery companies across the U.S. So naturally, our world-class services include helping with accidents caused by delivery trucks.


Why Are You at Risk for Serious Injuries from a Collision with a Long Beach Delivery Truck?

Yes, you better believe you can be hurt by a Long Beach delivery truck. After all, Long Beach is a city of towering buildings filled with white-collar workers.

It also maintains seaports full of cargo containers and hungry workers. Also, the city is loaded with hotels and attractions for blue and white-collar types and tourists.

  • No matter who you are or where you work in Long Beach, you are going to run across delivery trucks.

Plus, we all know that traffic is one common denominator everyone deals with. These vehicles will be shipping and receiving goods, food, and other products all day and night.

Even if you don’t have your meals delivered to you, getting to and from eateries for lunch and breaks often means driving or walking. Also, getting around town to pick up supplies, file, and serve documents consumes time. Good luck in finding a parking spot, right?

More than anything, this is a valuable time for busy people and businesses. Because of this, we hire delivery companies to ship and receive for us. Statistically, one of you will have a brush with a delivery truck at some point.

  • Delivery Trucks – What Are They?

Delivery trucks can be many things and do many things. Typically these are light trucks with no more than two axles. But they can be more substantial.

  • Some are food trucks like “roach coaches.” These are rolling kitchens that make food for people on the spot. Pretty much anything a dockworker would need to eat comes on a delivery truck.
  • The bottom line is that virtually any truck used to deliver smaller items and things can be a delivery truck. So picture a flatbed truck, a light pickup truck, or half a ton when you think “delivery truck.”
  • And this remains in contrast to big rigs, or 18-wheelers, that deliver enormous amounts of items and goods. These tractors are far less maneuverable, mainly when fully laden.

Think of it this way, big rigs drop stuff off at a large yard or dock in a warehouse-type facility. But delivery trucks might take some of those warehoused items and drop them off curbside at liquor stores or smaller markets. So is this making sense so far?

Some of these vehicles are used to deliver:

  • Documents to courts
  • Food to workers
  • Photocopies and paperwork to offices
  • Mail and packages

These smaller, more maneuverable transports ship to just about anyone you can imagine in the city.

  • You will often see UPS and FedEx, and even USPS trucks parked at red or yellow curbs with their hazard lights flashing.
  • These are all considered delivery trucks.

What are Your Chances of Being in an Accident With a Delivery Truck?

No real accident statistics are dealing with delivery truck wrecks. But anecdotally, we know they are plenty. After all, all day and night in Long Beach, just like taxis, these delivery vehicles jet around town regularly. If anyone has noticed UPS vehicles tend to park on yellow curbs?

  • Delivery trucks stop wherever they can and rapidly zip in and out of traffic from their standing positions.
  • The law of averages, not just the fact they can present a traffic hazard, says they are bound to crash at some point.

Adverse Working Conditions Contribute to Injuries?

Often the delivery vehicle employees are:

  • Overworked.
  • Not paid overtime or gas money.
  • Sometimes they have to drive fast to get to their next delivery and potential tip.

Employers can actually create conditions that make these accidents more likely. So employers can be liable for creating this dangerous situation.

  • Typical Injuries

Injuries can occur when a vehicle, person, or another object is involved in a collision.

Results of mishaps can include:

  • Scrapes
  • Bruises
  • Broken bones
  • Death

But there are also burns and more severe injuries like paralysis and brain injuries that can take place. Our Long Beach delivery truck accident attorneys are knowledgeable about these types of damages.

We are experts at suing the ones who have the deep pockets to pay you, the victim.

The Right Lawyer Means a Chance at Fair Compensation?

Yes. Choosing the right attorney after a Long Beach delivery truck collision is very important. Getting a good lawyer is how you receive fair compensation. Ehline Law Firm’s advocates have the knowledge and expertise to protect the rights of delivery truck accident victims.
