Why Delivery Truck Accidents Are Different
Delivery truck accidents are significantly more complex than standard car accidents, often involving multiple liable parties such as the delivery driver, the trucking company, and large corporations.
Determining who is liable can be a complicated process, especially when companies attempt to shift blame or minimize their financial responsibility.
Additionally, delivery trucks are much larger and heavier than regular vehicles, which means accidents involving them tend to cause more severe injuries. Victims often suffer from life-altering conditions, including:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Broken Bones
- Internal Injuries
This combination of multiple liable parties and severe injuries makes these cases particularly challenging. Delivery truck accident attorneys in San Diego understand the nuances of these cases and know how to investigate thoroughly, identify all liable parties, and hold them accountable.

Delivery truck drivers face tight schedules, long hours, and heavy traffic, all of which can contribute to dangerous accidents. Determining liability is critical to recovering compensation, and multiple parties may be responsible depending on the cause of the crash.
Common causes and potentially liable parties include:
Driver Fatigue or Inattention
Delivery truck drivers often work long shifts to meet demanding schedules, leading to exhaustion or distraction behind the wheel. If a driver’s fatigue or inattention caused the accident, they can be held personally liable.
Additionally, the trucking company may share responsibility if it pushed the driver to work excessive hours or ignored federal hours of service regulations mandating rest breaks.
Speeding to Meet Delivery Deadlines
Tight deadlines can create pressure for drivers to speed or drive recklessly. While the driver may be at fault for unsafe driving, the trucking company can also be held accountable if it set unrealistic delivery schedules that encouraged speeding.
Failure to Follow Traffic Laws
If a driver fails to obey traffic laws, such as running a red light or failing to yield, they are directly responsible for the accident. However, their employer could also be liable if they failed to properly oversee or discipline their drivers.
Poor Truck Maintenance
Delivery trucks require regular inspections and maintenance to ensure they are safe to operate. If an accident occurs due to faulty brakes, worn tires, or other mechanical issues, the trucking company or a third-party maintenance provider may be liable for failing to properly maintain the vehicle.
Inadequate Driver Training
Trucking companies are responsible for ensuring their drivers are adequately trained to handle delivery trucks safely. If a driver’s lack of training contributed to the accident, the company that hired and trained the driver can be held accountable.
Our San Diego delivery truck accident attorneys conduct thorough investigations to identify every potentially liable party. By holding drivers, trucking companies, and other responsible parties accountable, we work to ensure you recover the maximum compensation possible.
