Our Altoona Delivery Truck Accident Attorneys Know You’re Hurting. We Can Help.

If you spend any time driving on I-99, Chestnut Avenue, Union Avenue, or any of the other busy streets in Altoona, you will almost certainly see several delivery trucks every day, transporting and delivering packages to homes and businesses throughout the area. Most of the time, the drivers of these trucks share the road safely with smaller vehicles, but in some cases, they will engage in negligent behaviors such as:

• Distracted driving
• Intoxicated driving
• Drowsy driving
• Speeding or driving too fast for current weather conditions
• Failure to yield
• Making dangerous left turns
• Running red lights or stop signs

If a negligent delivery driver caused a crash that injured you, our personal injury lawyers will step up to the plate and go to bat for you. We understand what you’re going through, and we will treat you with respect and compassion. We have handled thousands of personal injury cases and will use our extensive knowledge to fight for the financial compensation you deserve.

We’re Ready to Face the Challenges of a Truck Delivery Claim

Our legal team has experience in several different types of delivery truck accident cases. Whether you are searching for an Amazon truck accident lawyer, a FedEx truck accident lawyer, a UPS truck accident lawyer, or a lawyer to assist with a delivery truck accident claim involving another company, we’re here for you.

Because some truck drivers are independent contractors or employees of delivery service partners (DSPs), assigning liability and proving negligence in these cases can be challenging. However, we are up to the task. Your Altoona delivery truck crash lawyer will determine who is responsible for compensating you and pursue a settlement that covers all your losses. To learn more about how Berger and Green can help you, contact us today.

How Much is Your Delivery Truck Accident Claim Worth?

The amount of monetary compensation you receive will depend on several factors unique to your case. Even two people injured in the same delivery truck crash may have vastly different losses. Your financial award will vary based on the amount or severity of your:

• Medical bills: Those who suffer catastrophic injuries and require medical care for the rest of their lives will generally deserve more compensation than those whose injuries are relatively minor and will heal completely in a few weeks or months.
• Lost wages: Because your income losses are generally compensable in your claim, your settlement amount may depend on factors such as your occupation and salary. Those with permanent impairments who cannot return to work may also deserve compensation for future lost wages and diminished earning capacity, so their age (or how long it will take them to reach retirement age) may also be a significant determining factor in their compensation amount.
• Property damage: If your car was damaged or destroyed in the crash, its estimated value or the cost of repairs will affect your claim.
• Pain and suffering: Those who suffer extensive psychological harm in delivery truck accidents may qualify for a significant amount of compensation. Your Altoona delivery truck crash attorney can help you seek monetary compensation for all resulting effects of the crash, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, mental and emotional distress, and lost quality of life.

Our Fatal Delivery Truck Accident Lawyers Serve Grieving Families

If you lost a loved one in a negligence-based delivery truck accident, your family may qualify for several other losses. You can generally file a survival action for any losses the decedent experienced between the accident and their death as well as a wrongful death action, which may qualify you to recover losses such as:

• Funeral and burial or cremation expenses
• Loss of household income and services
• Loss of inheritance
• Loss of guidance, companionship, and consortium
• Emotional pain and suffering

A wrongful death lawyer from Berger and Green can handle your entire claim or lawsuit from start to finish while you process your grief and spend time with loved ones. To learn more and get started on the process, contact us today.

Your Altoona Delivery Truck Accident Lawsuit Faces a Strict Legal Deadline

You do not have unlimited time after a delivery truck crash to take legal action against one or more negligent parties. You generally have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit or a survival action on behalf of a deceased loved one, per Pa. C.S.A. § 5524.

If you are filing a wrongful death lawsuit, the two-year clock starts running on the date of your loved one’s passing. In some cases, this will be different from the accident date. Your fatal truck accident attorney can ensure your lawsuit meets all applicable deadlines.
