Who Is Liable for Damages After a New Iberia Amazon Truck Accident?
After your accident, you may have a number of damages you’d like to collect from the party liable for compensating you. Identifying this party might be difficult, though. It could be Amazon itself, a third-party delivery company Amazon contracts with, or another party. For example, if the delivery truck driver works for Amazon, Amazon could be the liable party.
Also, if another party contributed to the incident in some way, that party could share liability with Amazon. Many parties could share liability for your damages.
Establishing the Liable Party
This is something a personal injury lawyer from our firm can do for you. First, your lawyer will seek out evidence that indicates a party’s liability. Such evidence could be footage of the accident from an onsite security camera, for example. Your lawyer can even file a spoliation letter to preserve and recover such evidence as data about the accident from the delivery truck’s black box.
Once your lawyer has evidence of liability, your lawyer will show it to the other party’s insurer or a judge. This will help to fully establish liability in your case, but it won’t be enough. Your lawyer will also have to show the insurer or judge each of the elements of negligence in your case, which are:
- Duty of Care
- Breach of duty
- Causation
- Damages

ClientWhat Damages Can I Get After a New Iberia Amazon Truck Accident?
You might have a number of economic and non-economic damages to collect. You deserve to collect all of them, but you may have trouble identifying all of them in the first place. It can be difficult for a claimant to identify certain damages, like emotional damages and future damages.
Establishing Your Damages
One of our Louisiana Amazon delivery truck accident lawyers can help with this. For example, your lawyer can help to anticipate and identify economic damages you may incur in the future, like further medical expenses.
Your lawyer can also give fair monetary amounts for your non-economic damages. This will help to establish their validity with the insurer or judge. It will also let your lawyer claim these damages in the first place.
Your lawyer may be able to establish and recover:
- Medical expenses, including expenses for various therapies and other forms of care
- Property expenses, like the expense of repairing your vehicle
- Income lost, including income you may lose in the future
- Lost income-earning ability
- Lost physical capabilities
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Emotional trauma
- Wrongful death damages, such as lost family income and loss of familial support, if a loved one lost their life in the incident
I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.
Rick Smith | ClientHow Will My New Iberia Amazon Truck Accident Lawyer Recover My Damages?
Establishing your damages and the other party’s liability won’t be enough. Your lawyer will also have to take on the party’s insurer and/or attorneys. If the liable party is Amazon, they’ll be backed by a large insurer and possibly many attorneys, and they may not be willing to negotiate in good faith.
Still, your lawyer will attempt to negotiate. In negotiations, your lawyer will request all of your due damages and fair amounts for them. If the other side doesn’t offer a fair settlement you and your lawyer like, your lawyer can threaten to sue Amazon, which may convince the other side to settle fairly.
If negotiations fail, your lawyer will litigate your case. This means your lawyer will prepare a lawsuit, file it through the proper channel, take your case to court, and negotiate your payout with a judge, instead. Before going to court, your lawyer can hire experts, like a truck accident reconstructionist, to help corroborate your case.
The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
