Determining Liability In An Amazon Prime Truck Accident
There may be multiple parties involved in an Amazon delivery truck accident, including:
- The Amazon driver
- Amazon or a third-party delivery contractor
- A contractor driving the delivery van
- The vehicle manufacturer
- A mechanic for not repairing the vehicle correctly
- A government entity that failed to maintain the road
For example, the driver may be liable if they were speeding or violating other traffic laws to meet their delivery schedule. Amazon may also be responsible if the driver was a company employee. On the other hand, a third-party contractor might not be a direct Amazon employee; however, they must carry commercial driver liability insurance to cover damages, including medical expenses and lost wages. The vehicle manufacturer may also be liable if the cause of the accident was a defect in the vehicle.
As you can see, determining liability in an Amazon truck accident is challenging, so working with a capable attorney is essential. That’s where J&Y Law comes in. Once we take your case, we will work to identify the responsible party or parties and explore all your legal remedies.

Damages We Will Fight For
The damages you may recover depend on several factors, such as the extent of your injuries, the identity of the responsible party, and the degree of your liability. However, you may be entitled to significant compensation that includes:
- Medical expenses and rehabilitation costs
- Lost wages – present and future
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability/disfigurement
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
- Attorney fees and court costs
Notably, if you were partly to blame for the truck accident, you can still recover damages; however, your award will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. Suppose the Amazon driver was speeding, but you made an illegal turn and are found to be 20 percent at fault. If your damages are $100,000, you will receive $80,000. You can depend on us to limit your liability and get you the maximum compensation you deserve.
