How We Prove Liability
Delivery companies are responsible for the actions of their drivers, whether the driver is a direct employee or works through a contractor arrangement. Companies like Amazon, FedEx, and UPS often use complex contractor structures to try to avoid liability, but courts have increasingly held these companies accountable. Evidence of delivery quotas, route tracking data, and company policies that pressure drivers to speed or cut corners strengthens liability claims.
Texas Legal Framework
Texas law applies respondeat superior liability to delivery companies whose drivers cause accidents during the course and scope of their employment. Even when delivery drivers are classified as independent contractors, Texas courts may look at the degree of control the company exercises over the driver to determine liability under the borrowed servant doctrine. The two year statute of limitations under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003 applies to these claims.
Truck accident cases are far more complex than standard car crashes. Federal regulations, multiple liable parties, and catastrophic injuries all make these claims uniquely challenging. Texas law gives injured victims powerful tools to hold trucking companies accountable when they put profits ahead of public safety.
Trucking companies know that the evidence generated by their own operations can be used to prove negligence. That is why many of them have policies and practices designed to destroy critical records before injured victims can get their hands on them. Federal regulations require preservation, but enforcement gaps create opportunities for abuse.
Truck accidents cause devastating injuries and involve complex liability issues. Learn the critical steps to take after being hit by an 18-wheeler in Texas and why these cases require specialized legal help.
At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.
While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.
Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.
