Common Causes of Delivery Truck Crashes in Las Vegas
Various types of delivery trucks exist, such as those dropping off goods to commercial locations and those navigating residential neighborhoods to deliver packages directly to doors.
No matter the type of delivery truck, every commercial driver must take steps to protect others on the road. If they fail, they could be negligent.
Some of the most common causes of such injuries include:
- Mechanical breakdowns because the truck was not maintained
- Distracted driving due to the truck driver using navigational tools or their phone
- Drivers who are speeding to complete their workload
- Poor road conditions
- Weather conditions
- Drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Cargo-related accidents
These trucks, especially those that make sudden and constant stops, put others at risk for preventable reasons.
After an accident with such a truck, get the medical care you need, file a police report, and then call our delivery truck accident lawyer in Las Vegas for a consultation.
Let our Las Vegas personal injury lawyer discuss what your rights are and how we can hold them accountable.
Who Might Be to Blame in Your Accident
Delivery truck accidents can be complex if more than one party is found to be at fault. Through the collection of evidence and gathering statements about what happened, our legal team will piece together what occurred and who is at fault to hold them accountable.
Various parties could be responsible:
- The truck driver may be responsible for their distraction or reckless driving
- Trucking companies employing the driver could be responsible if there are violations to state or federal truck laws
- Cargo loading companies could be held accountable if they failed to secure the load properly
- Vehicle owners, which could be a separate entity, may be responsible if the truck is poorly maintained
- City, state, and other government entities could be responsible if road conditions led to the accident

Do Not Wait Too Long to Contact Our Legal Team
Though most cases do not go to court, it is critical for victims to know that there are limitations as to when you can file a lawsuit against an at-fault party.
Typically, the Nevada statute of limitations gives victims two years from the date of the accident to file a claim for compensation in a court of law. If you wait beyond that time, you may not be able to recover your damages.

The Importance of Hiring a Delivery Truck Accident Lawyer
As the victim of a delivery truck accident, you may think that filing a claim for your losses is simple. Yet, that is not the case in most situations.
Rather, you are likely to be facing a significant and long battle just to receive what is considered fair compensation. There are several reasons why you need to have an attorney by your side throughout this case:
- Insurance companies for trucking companies have experience in manipulating victims into agreeing to far less compensation than they are legally owed under the law. You would have no reason for this.
- If you are hurt in an accident like this, you could have significant injuries that warrant ongoing financial compensation, and proving that value can be a challenge.
- In situations where you are found to be partially at fault, you may not be able to recover all of the damages you have, and we want to make sure that this does not happen for the wrong reasons.
You are hurt and suffering because of the negligence of another person or company. When you are facing an injury that has changed your life, do not settle for whatever the insurance company believes is fair.
Let us make sure that you know what all of your losses are.
