Types of Delivery Trucks Commonly Involved in Accidents

There are countless delivery trucks and vans on roads and highways in Austin and throughout Texas. While most delivery trucks are smaller than big rigs and 18-wheelers, they are still very large vehicles and can cause immense damage when they collide with cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians.

At Briggle & Polan, PLLC, we handle personal injury and wrongful death cases involving accidents caused by all types of delivery trucks, including: 

• Mail trucks, including USPS trucks
• FedEx and other private delivery trucks
• Refrigerated cargo trucks
• Private delivery vans
• Freightliners
• Wide load/oversize trucks
• Tank trucks
• Commercial moving trucks
• Box trucks

Regardless of the type of delivery truck involved in your accident—whether privately owned or operated by a public/governmental entity—recovering compensation for your injuries can be very complicated. It can be difficult to determine exactly who is responsible for your damages, as the delivery truck driver, his/her employer, a truck parts manufacturer, and various other entities may all be involved.

In fact, other lawyers often turn to us with complex litigation; we are known for our track record of success, having secured millions of dollars on behalf of our clients.
