- Driver training standards
- Drug and alcohol prevention measures for drivers Disregarding these rules can result in catastrophic accidents.
Common Causes of Delivery Truck Accidents
Despite thorough training programs at large companies like UPS and FedEx, focusing on driver safety, errors can still occur. Mistakes like texting while driving, inattention, and driving under the influence are not uncommon. These drivers, often operating close to pedestrians, sometimes fail to exercise the necessary caution.
Accidents can also arise from inadequate vehicle maintenance. Trucks used for freight shipping, services, or delivery must meet both federal and state safety regulations, requiring routine checks and maintenance. Failure in this regard can lead to malfunction and accidents. Determining the accident’s cause is crucial for seeking compensation.
What to Do After a Delivery Truck Accident
Accidents involving delivery trucks can have severe consequences, particularly for pedestrians, cyclists, and children. These incidents can cause significant traffic disturbances, including pile-ups and rollovers, and lead to serious injuries or even fatalities.

Then, contact a Phoenix truck accident lawyer to assist in preserving evidence and initiating a claim against those responsible.
