How Common Are Delivery Truck Accidents in Los Angeles?
Delivery trucks are everywhere in California. Unfortunately, they’re also involved in thousands of serious crashes every year.
According to FMCSA data, more than 119,000 injuries and 5,904 deaths were linked to truck accidents in 2021 in the United States—the highest numbers ever recorded. That same year, over 401,000 property damage incidents were caused by trucks.
And the trend us unlikely to slow down with nearly 15 million large trucks and buses registered in the U.S., many of which operate as delivery vehicles.
“Delivery truck” is broad term that includes everything from Amazon delivery vans to 18-wheelers. When it comes to getting legal help after a delivery truck accident, most the first place to look is what kind of vehicle was involved. According to the FMCSA, three main types of delivery trucks are involved in two-thirds of all accidents:
- Box trucks caused 44.9% of all injury crashes
- Flatbed trucks accounted for 10.1%
- Dump trucks followed with 9.4%
How Los Justicieros Works to Win Your Case
At Los Justicieros, our attorneys treat delivery truck accidents very seriously, as we’re often up against top legal teams and insurers from America’s largest corporations. They fight hard to avoid any payments. That’s why we investigate every detail to uncover negligence, corporate liability, and safety violations.
Here are some of the most common causes of delivery truck accidents that help us win compensation for our clients:
- Driver Fatigue: Long shifts, poor rest, and high delivery quotas can lead to exhaustion behind the wheel.
- Speeding: Speeding is actually the most common driver-related factor in fatal trucking crashes. Driving over the speed limit increases stopping distance and reduces reaction time.
- Distracted Driving: Phone use, navigation systems, or even eating can take a driver’s focus off the road. This is the second-most common type of driver-related factor in delivery truck accidents.
- Improper Training: Many delivery companies fail to properly train drivers on safety protocols or truck handling.
- Poor Maintenance: Bald tires, faulty brakes, and ignored warning signs can all lead to mechanical failure.
- Unsafe Lane Changes: Large trucks have blind spots. A careless merge can result in catastrophic collisions.
- Failure to Yield: Common in urban settings, especially when drivers are in a rush to meet delivery deadlines. According to the FMCSA, this is the fourth most-cited driver-related factor in delivery trucking crashes.
How To Start Your Lawsuit
In delivery truck crashes, at least one driver-related factor is present in at least a third of cases. The top issues are speeding, inattention, careless driving and failure to yield.
But even if there is no driver-related factor, the delivery trucking company could have liability from issues such as poor maintenance, not respecting Hours of Service regulations, overloading the vehicles, and more.
