How to File a Claim After a FedEx Truck Accident

FedEx trucks deliver millions of packages daily, but accidents involving these vehicles can cause severe injuries and property damage. If you have been involved in a FedEx truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.

Filing a claim against FedEx can be complicated, as their insurance providers will work to minimize payouts. Understanding the claims process is essential to securing fair compensation. At Zinda Law Group, we help truck accident victims fight for the settlements they deserve.

Steps to File a FedEx Truck Accident Claim

1. Call 911 and Seek Medical Attention

Your health should always come first. Even if injuries seem minor, get medical attention immediately. Medical records will also serve as key evidence in your claim.

2. Report the Accident to Law Enforcement

A police report provides an official accident record. Officers will document driver statements, road conditions, and any traffic violations, which can be useful when dealing with FedEx’s insurance provider.

3. Collect Evidence at the Scene

If possible, gather the following information:

• Photos of vehicle damage, road conditions, and injuries
• The FedEx driver’s name, license number, and insurance details
• Contact information from any witnesses

Additionally, commercial trucking companies like FedEx must comply with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations regarding driver hours, vehicle maintenance, and cargo loading. Violations of these regulations can contribute to accidents and strengthen your claim. More information on these regulations can be found on the FMCSA website.

4. Do Not Speak to FedEx’s Insurance Company

FedEx’s insurance company may reach out shortly after the accident. They might ask for a recorded statement or offer a quick settlement. Do not provide a statement or accept any offers without consulting a lawyer. Insurers often make lowball settlement offers that do not fully cover your medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering.

5. Consult a Truck Accident Lawyer

FedEx’s insurance provider will likely attempt to minimize your settlement. An experienced truck accident attorney can negotiate on your behalf, handle all communication with the insurer, and fight for a fair FedEx accident settlement.

Who Is Liable in a FedEx Truck Accident?

Determining liability in a FedEx truck accident claim can be complex. Responsible parties may include:

• The FedEx Driver – If they were speeding, distracted, or otherwise negligent
• FedEx Corporation – If poor hiring practices, lack of training, or unsafe company policies contributed to the accident
• A Third Party – If another driver, a defective truck part, or poor road conditions played a role

An attorney can investigate all possible causes of the accident to ensure that every liable party is held accountable.

What Compensation Can You Receive in a FedEx Accident Settlement?

Victims of FedEx truck accidents may be entitled to several types of compensation, including:

• Medical Expenses – Emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and future medical costs
• Lost Wages – Compensation for missed work and reduced earning potential
• Pain and Suffering – Emotional distress, PTSD, and physical pain
• Property Damage – Costs to repair or replace your vehicle
