Delivery Van Accidents: Understanding the Causes, Injuries, and What You Can Do If You’re Involved in One

Delivery van involved in an accident.

Delivery vans are essential for businesses that rely on transporting goods and packages to customers. However, these vehicles also pose a significant threat to public safety, as delivery van accidents are not uncommon. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were over 4,000 fatal accidents involving large trucks in 2018. While not all of these accidents involved delivery vans, the number is still significant highlighting the importance of understanding the causes, injuries, and what can be done if you’re involved in a delivery van accident.

How Often Do Delivery Van Accidents Occur?

Delivery van accidents can occur at any time, but they are most common during rush hour traffic and busy delivery times. In densely populated urban areas, the risk of an accident increases due to the high volume of vehicles on the road and limited space for maneuvering. Accidents can also occur in rural areas, especially if the roads are narrow or poorly maintained.

What Causes Delivery Van Accidents?

Many factors contribute to delivery van accidents, including:

  1. Driver error: One of the most common causes of delivery van accidents is driver error. This can include distractions, such as texting or eating while driving, and failure to obey traffic laws, such as running red lights or failing to signal while turning.
  2. Poor vehicle maintenance: Delivery vans are often driven for long hours, and if they are not properly maintained, they can break down and cause accidents.
  3. Overloading: Overloading a delivery van can make it difficult to handle and increase the risk of a crash.
  4. Poor road conditions: Potholes, loose gravel, and other road hazards can cause delivery van accidents.
  5. Weather conditions: Bad weather, such as rain, snow, or fog, can make it difficult to see and increase the risk of an accident.

What Kind of Injuries Can People Sustain in Delivery Van Accidents?

Delivery van accidents can result in serious injuries, including:

  1. Head injuries: A head injury, such as a concussion or skull fracture, can occur when a person is hit by a delivery van.
  2. Spinal cord injuries: A spinal cord injury can occur when a person is hit from behind or from the side and can result in permanent paralysis.
  3. Broken bones: Broken bones, such as a broken arm or leg, can occur when a person is hit by a delivery van.
  4. Internal injuries: Internal injuries, such as a ruptured spleen or liver, can occur when a person is hit by a delivery van.
  5. Psychological trauma: Psychological trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), can occur after a delivery van accident.

Some of Our Testimonials

Last year I was driving on interstate 35 up in Oklahoma and was hit by a pickup on the side of the road. I was referred to the Traub Law Firm and they did a great job on this accident case. It was not easy because the accident was out of state and we had to get numerous records from hospitals and other outlets. The law firm did a great job to go the extra mile for me. I would highly recommend The Traub Law Firm for any accident claim you might have.

Trust. That's the critical ingredient when choosing an attorney-- someone you can trust, completely trust, because it is going to be a long, long road in settling your personal injury case. For example, I've had two cases with Andrew Traub as my attorney. My first case took over a year to settle and the second took nearly three years. The delay had nothing to do with Andrew-- the delay was due to the intentional inertia of the opposing insurance company. The opposition's strategy, I have come to see, is they want to wear you down and out. That's where you need to lean on Andrew Traub.Andrew will get you through. With my two cases with Andrew, in each instance I had a police report that faulted the other driver. You'd think I would not have needed an attorney at all, and yet in each instance the opposing party, even with a police report against them, refused to take responsibility. It was exasperating.In three years of working with Mr. Traub, I learned a lot. Without equivocation I can vouch that you can count on Andrew Traub to champion your best interest, even if it requires many extra hours on his part (at no cost to you). He will fight and get it right.I found Mr. Traub to be professional at all times. He is responsive to his clients, timely with his filings, respected among his peers, and he is tenacious.I could not have done better than Traub Law. I'd rate my satisfaction on trust, professionalism, and results as a perfect 10 out of 10.
