Injured by an Amazon, UPS, or FedEx Driver? You May Be Entitled to Compensation.
With the explosion of online shopping, delivery vehicles flood Texas roads daily—from Amazon vans and UPS box trucks to FedEx sprinters and third-party gig drivers. Unfortunately, the rush to meet tight delivery windows often results in serious accidents that leave pedestrians, cyclists, and other motorists injured.
At Williford Law, PLLC, we represent individuals in Texas who are injured in delivery-related accidents. Whether you were hit by a commercial vehicle or injured as a delivery driver yourself, we fight to hold all responsible parties accountable.
Who Can Be Held Liable in a Delivery Vehicle Accident?
Depending on how the accident occurred, liability may fall on one or more of the following:
| Responsible Party | Example of Negligence |
| Delivery company (Amazon, UPS, FedEx) | Pressuring drivers to meet unrealistic quotas |
| Third-party contractors | Improper hiring, training, or vehicle maintenance |
| Driver | Speeding, distracted driving, running red lights |
| Vehicle maintenance company | Failure to repair brakes, tires, or other critical systems |
| Logistics platform (e.g., Amazon Flex) | App-based pressure to complete unsafe routes or deadlines |
We conduct full investigations—including dash cam footage, GPS data, black box downloads, and dispatch logs—to prove fault and maximize your recovery.
Delivery Vehicle Crashes We Handle
- Accidents with Amazon vans, UPS trucks, and FedEx vehicles
- Hit-and-run or back-over incidents in neighborhoods or driveways
- Loading/unloading zone accidents
- Pedestrian or bicycle collisions
- Injuries involving third-party delivery drivers (DoorDash, Instacart, Uber Eats, Amazon Flex)
- Commercial delivery drivers injured on the job
Were You the Delivery Driver? Know Your Rights.
If you were injured while working for Amazon, UPS, FedEx, or a third-party delivery company, your options may include:
- Workers’ compensation (if your employer is a subscriber)
- Non-subscriber personal injury claim (if your employer opted out)
- Third-party lawsuit (e.g., hit by another vehicle while on the job)
- Product liability (if your delivery equipment or vehicle failed)
Even if you’re classified as an “independent contractor,” you may still be entitled to compensation for your injuries. We help gig workers and contract drivers fight back against unfair classifications and limited coverage.
Common Injuries in Delivery Vehicle Accidents
We represent both injured civilians and delivery drivers suffering from:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Fractures and crush injuries
- Neck and back injuries
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Amputations
- Wrongful death
Every case includes a thorough review of your medical treatment, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term impact.
Why These Cases Require Immediate Action
Delivery companies and insurers act fast to minimize liability. Their teams may:
- Record statements before you speak to a lawyer
- Pressure you to accept lowball settlements
- Dispute the driver’s employment status to avoid responsibility
At Williford Law, we move faster—preserving evidence, interviewing witnesses, and sending legal holds to prevent destruction of data.

- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage (vehicle, bike, phone, etc.)
- Disfigurement or permanent disability
- Wrongful death damages (in fatal cases)
