Why Delivery Truck Accidents Are on the Rise in Dallas
Delivery truck accidents have been increasing in Dallas as more people rely on fast shipping and same-day delivery services. With companies pushing drivers to cover more stops in less time, neighborhoods are seeing a constant flow of large trucks on narrow residential streets. This creates serious risks, especially for residents who walk, bike, or children who play near their homes and schools.Â
Delivery Companies Are Already Preparing Their Defense
Major delivery companies like Amazon, UPS, FedEx, and national fleet operators don’t wait until after an accident to start protecting themselves, they already have teams of lawyers and insurance representatives on standby, ready to minimize payouts and shield the company’s bottom line.Â
These corporations often rely on loopholes in the law, intricate contracts, and aggressive defense strategies to distance themselves from responsibility, even when their policies and pressures contribute directly to unsafe driving habits. From shifting blame onto individual drivers to disputing the severity of injuries, their playbook is designed to make it harder for victims to recover the compensation they deserve.
While these companies prepare their defense well in advance, you deserve someone equally ready to fight for your rights and reveal the truth about how their practices risk public safety. At Aldous Law, we know the tactics these corporations will use, and we build strong cases that push back against their defenses. With the right legal guidance, you have the power to stand up to these companies and hold them accountable for the harm their actions have caused in Dallas.
What to Do After a Crash Involving a Delivery Vehicle
The steps you take immediately after a delivery truck accident can play a major role in protecting your financial security and your ability to pursue a claim. Acting quickly and carefully helps create a record of what happened and strengthens your chances of holding the company accountable for any injuries you suffered.
Here are some important steps to follow after being involved in a delivery vehicle accident:
- Call 911 and make sure the police document the crash.
- Seek medical attention right away, even if injuries don’t seem serious at first.
- Gather information from the driver, including employer details and insurance information.
- Take photos or videos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries.
- Collect witness names and contact details, if available.
- Avoid giving statements to insurance representatives before speaking with an attorney.
Taking these steps sets the foundation for pursuing justice, but navigating claims against powerful delivery companies is never something you should face alone. With experienced personal injury attorneys on your side, you’ll have the guidance and support you need to seek the compensation you deserve.
Common Injuries in Delivery Truck Collisions
Although delivery trucks often travel through neighborhood streets where speed limits are lower, the rush to make fast deliveries can turn these vehicles into serious hazards. When a collision occurs, the size and weight of a delivery truck can cause extreme harm, even at reduced speeds.Â
Common injuries in delivery truck crashes include:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Head and traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord and back injuries
- Internal organ damage and bleeding
- Cuts, bruises, and lacerations
- Whiplash and other soft tissue injuries
The type and severity of your injuries directly affect both the compensation available and how your claim is handled. Understanding the full scope of your medical needs helps build a stronger case and ensures that the impact of the crash on your life is not minimized by the delivery company or its insurers.
Who Can Be Held Liable in a Dallas Delivery Truck Accident?
Large delivery companies often go to great lengths to avoid being held accountable when their trucks are involved in accidents. Their defense teams may try to shift blame to individual drivers, deny responsibility for unsafe policies, or fight to minimize payouts. Without legal help, victims are left to battle corporations that have endless resources on their side. An experienced truck accident attorney can investigate the circumstances of the crash and expose the full scope of negligence that contributed to the accident.
Parties that may be held liable in a Dallas delivery truck accident include:
- The delivery truck driver for reckless or negligent driving
- The delivery company (Amazon, UPS, FedEx, or local fleets) for unsafe schedules, hiring practices, or training issues
- Contractors or third-party delivery partners operating under larger corporations
- Vehicle maintenance companies are responsible for inspecting and servicing trucks
- Manufacturers of defective truck parts or equipment
- Other motorists whose actions may have contributed to the crash
In many cases, more than one party shares responsibility for a delivery truck collision. Each of them may play a role in creating unsafe conditions that put Dallas families at risk. At Aldous Law, our attorneys know how to untangle the layers of liability and pursue claims against every responsible party.

Frequently Asked Questions About Delivery Truck Accidents
What if the delivery driver was not an employee?
Many delivery companies, including Amazon and FedEx, often classify their drivers as independent contractors rather than direct employees. This is done to limit the company’s liability, but it doesn’t mean you are without options. An attorney can investigate the driver’s relationship to the company and explore whether the corporation’s policies, contracts, or business practices contributed to the crash. In many cases, the company can still be held accountable for the harm caused.
How long do I have to file a claim in Texas?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is generally two years from the date of the accident. If a claim is not filed within this period, you may lose your right to pursue compensation. Because delivery companies and their insurers will begin working on their defense immediately, it’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect your legal rights.
Can I sue the company if their truck caused a fatality?
Yes. If a delivery truck crash results in the loss of a loved one, surviving family members may be able to file a wrongful death claim against the responsible parties. This type of claim can seek compensation for medical expenses, funeral costs, lost income, and the emotional toll of losing a family member. These cases are often strongly defended by corporations, making it especially important to have an attorney who understands how to hold them accountable for such a tragic loss.
