Ways a Sun Valley UPS Truck Accident Attorney Serves You
Hiring a Sun Valley truck accident lawyer means that a legal professional is in charge of making sure you get your rightful recovery payout. Our services cover the whole spectrum of the claim:
- Handling paperwork: With all the paperwork involved, plenty of small details can get overlooked, but we know what to look for.
- Communication with insurance: Insurance companies often strive to minimize or negate payouts, so we will handle the communication on your behalf to ensure you are not left short.
- Representation in court: If we cannot reach a settlement and need to go to court, we are prepared to fight for you every step of the way.
- Your personal legal guide: The legal process can be confusing, so we will answer any questions you may have to keep you well-informed.
- Gathering evidence: There are various types of evidence for any case, which can be challenging to obtain. We will utilize our experience to secure this evidence and build a strong case.
UPS will have its own arsenal of legal teams whose goal is to protect the company’s bottom line. We are aware of their tactics to shift blame away from themselves and possibly onto you, as well as to make it difficult for us to obtain the proper evidence and have it hold weight in court.
Trust the Sun Valley personal injury lawyers at Shook & Stone to break through those tactics and have your case prevail in the end.
UPS Truck Accident Injuries
UPS trucks are big, which means the injuries from accidents with them are usually big as well. We see many that leave people with life-changing conditions, even if that change is a huge hit to finances, based on medical care and time away from work.
Being familiar with injuries from these accidents can help make sure you do not leave anything out when you talk with a UPS truck accident lawyer in Sun Valley:
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Fractures and broken bones
- Dismemberment
- Disfigurement
- Disabilities
- Burns
- Lacerations
No matter what your injuries were, we want to make sure that the court understands just how much they have impacted your life.
Medical bills can set you back a lot by themselves, but adding on debilitating injuries that leave you unable to work or drastically lower your quality of life can only add to that.
Recoverable Damages from a UPS Truck Accident
Injuries are not the only unfortunate result of many UPS truck accidents. Many aspects of your life can become chaotic, and your property can suffer damage that requires financial assistance to repair or replace.
Your lawyer will walk you through your options when it comes to the damages you can recover:
- Medical expenses
- Lost Wages
- Pan & suffering
- Property damage
- Mental and emotional distress
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of quality of life
- Inability to earn a wage
- Permanent disability
- Strain on the family
Life without the fallout of an accident is complicated enough. Anything that gets added to further complicate matters deserves to be compensated by whoever was at fault for the accident.
If you are unsure if something qualifies, feel free to ask your attorney what damages you can recover in a delivery truck accident, so nothing is left unaddressed.

Why Liability is Not So Simple With UPS Truck Accidents
Determining fault is an unfortunately complex part of any UPS truck accident case. Fault can originate from a number of entities that each require their own set of evidence to prove.
With all these potential routes to take, a thorough conversation with your Sun Valley UPS truck accident attorney will provide clarity of understanding modified comparative fault in Nevada (NRS 41.141) and who we will hold accountable.
The first party to consider is the other driver, typically the UPS truck driver. They are easily at risk of distracted driving, speeding, failure to follow traffic laws, fatigue, and blatant negligence of their training.
We can hold them to a higher standard due to their professional obligations and training, but they are just another driver on the road like anyone else.
Another party to consider is UPS itself, since it could ignore federal regulations and put its drivers in risky positions. There is also potential for the vehicle manufacturer, mechanics, cargo handlers, the entity responsible for road maintenance, or even yourself to hold some or all blame for the accident.
This requires a clear understanding of Nevada’s comparative fault laws under NRS § 41.141.
