Making the Impossible Possible

Virginia FedEx Accident Attorneys

Results-Oriented Representation for FedEx Accident Victims in Annandale

FedEx delivery trucks have become so common that they almost blend into the background of streets and neighborhoods as they complete countless deliveries each day. You probably do not think much of these brightly colored vehicles until one collides with you. An accident involving a FedEx delivery truck tends to be more complicated than a straightforward car crash, and it is in your best interest to get legal advice to ensure you receive the compensation you are entitled to under the law.

The unfortunate reality is that companies like FedEx employ massive teams that work to limit their liability (and resulting payouts) in these scenarios. You may be pressured to accept less than what you deserve, but remember: FedEx and their insurance company are not looking out for you.

We strive to make the impossible possible and are not afraid to go up against FedEx and other large delivery companies.

What is FedEx?

FedEx, short for Federal Express, is a global courier delivery services company headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. It was founded in 1971 by Frederick W. Smith, initially as an express transportation company that focused on overnight shipping. FedEx quickly expanded its services to include ground shipping, freight services, and logistics solutions. The company is known for its rapid delivery capabilities and extensive global network, which allows it to operate in over 220 countries and territories.

FedEx operates through various segments, including FedEx Express (air delivery services), FedEx Ground (ground delivery services), FedEx Freight (freight services), and FedEx Office (print and shipping services). The company is recognized for its advanced technology and tracking systems, which provide customers with real-time updates on the status of their shipments. FedEx has played a significant role in revolutionizing the logistics and transportation industry, making it one of the largest and most respected courier companies in the world.

Common Causes of FedEx Accidents

FedEx delivery trucks are not standard personal vehicles: They are large, heavy-duty trucks loaded with parcels. Operating these trucks safely demands a thorough understanding of vehicle dynamics and advanced driving skills. FedEx drivers do not always have these skills, and those who do are often pushed to their limits thanks to grueling, unrealistic delivery quotas. Both of these factors – in addition to other common forms of driver negligence – frequently contribute to collisions. 

Many FedEx accidents are caused by:

  • Driver fatigue. FedEx drivers often work long hours, which can lead to fatigue and loss of concentration. This can impact their reaction time and ability to make swift, effective decisions on the road, increasing the potential for accidents.
  • Speeding. With tight schedules and the pressure to deliver packages on time, FedEx drivers may resort to speeding. This decreases their control over the vehicle, especially in unfavorable weather conditions, thus elevating the risk of accidents.
  • Insufficient training. Not all FedEx drivers possess adequate training in handling large vehicles, road safety regulations, or managing difficult situations. This lack of training can sometimes lead to detrimental errors and mishaps on the road.
  • Vehicle malfunctions. FedEx trucks undergo regular maintenance to ensure smooth operation. However, mechanical failures, tire blowouts, or brake malfunctions can still occur and cause accidents.
  • Failure to obey traffic laws. FedEx drivers, like all motorists, are required to obey traffic laws. However, in an attempt to adhere to strict delivery deadlines, some drivers may neglect these rules, leading to violations such as running red lights, improper lane changes, or failing to yield the right of way.
