Can You Hold FedEx Accountable for a Truck Accident?
You may have the right to hold FedEx accountable for a serious accident under certain circumstances. It’s easiest to figure out whether or not you can during early conversations with an experienced Powell personal injury lawyer.
Generally, the drivers who work with FedEx operate as independent contractors. This means that while FedEx may offer them insurance while they’re on duty, it’s hard to sue FedEx for any accidents they cause.
However, you can often file an insurance claim with FedEx’s provider so long as you can prove that a negligent driver qualified for coverage at the time of your accident. If you can prove that FedEx employed that negligent driver at the time of your collision, you may further sue FedEx for damages not covered by its insurance.
Should You Accept a Settlement Offer After a Serious Accident?
Filing an insurance claim after a serious FedEx truck accident allows you to financially recover from your losses. So does filing a personal injury claim. However, FedEx wants to avoid the publicity and time commitment that comes with both of these processes. As such, a team representative may offer you a settlement well before you can explore either option.
FedEx’s truck accident settlements often seem generous at first glance. In reality, the settlement offers you receive in the days immediately following your collision will often vastly underestimate the value of your losses.
If you want fair compensation for the losses you sustained due to someone else’s negligence, we recommend that you have a Powell FedEx truck accident attorney review any settlement offer you receive. Lawyers can point out any damages a settlement overlooks and go back to the negotiating table on your behalf.

What Compensation Can You Ask for After a FedEx Truck Accident?
The compensation you receive after a FedEx truck accident will vary depending on what losses you can tie to a driver’s negligence. Our team will advocate for your right to a settlement that covers your economic and non-economic losses, whether we take your case to trial or settle in negotiations.
If you want to include certain economic losses in your request for support, keep track of the paperwork related to those losses. For example, you will need medical invoices and treatment records if you want to tie physical injuries to your accident. You may also need pay stubs to prove that you lost wages due to your collision.
Our team can then step in and assign dollar values to your non-economic losses, including your pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, and emotional distress. We’ll keep you in the loop as we complete these calculations and ensure you understand why we’re asking for the settlement we’ve written into your claim.
