If you or a loved one suffered an accident with an Amazon delivery truck, you might be wondering who’s liable for compensating you and what damages you can recover. You’re likely also wondering whether you should hire legal representation from our firm.
One of the truck accident lawyers from Laborde Earles can identify the liable party and your compensable damages for you, and then your lawyer can either negotiate with that party’s insurer for your compensation or sue the party directly for your damages. In a free consultation, we’ll tell you about our 350 years of combined personal injury experience and about working with your Marksville Amazon truck accident lawyer.
Who Is Liable for Compensating Me After My Marksville Accident?
As the victim of your accident, you’re entitled to compensation. Your compensation could come from a single party or, potentially, multiple parties.
If the delivery truck driver works for Amazon and causes the accident, Amazon itself could be liable for compensating you. However, if the driver works for a third-party delivery company instead, that company could be liable instead.
Multiple parties could share liability if each contributed to the accident. For instance, Amazon and the municipal government could share liability if the Amazon driver sped on the road and a government contractor left the road in disrepair. In such a case, you could potentially recover damages from both parties.

ClientWhat Damages Can I Recover for a Marksville Amazon Truck Accident?
If you have any injuries, including any economic or non-economic injuries, you can claim them in a personal injury claim or lawsuit. With a claim, you’d file through the liable party’s insurance provider. With a suit, you’d file directly against the liable party itself. One of these options will be better for you depending on the severity of your injuries.
Through your claim or suit, you may be able to recover any or many of these damages:
- Property expenses, such as the expense of the repair of your vehicle
- Medical expenses, including expenses for physical therapy, occupational therapy, etc.
- Income losses, as well as loss in your ability to work for an income
- Physical pain and suffering
- Impairment or disability
- Mental and emotional suffering
- Loss in your ability to enjoy certain activities
- Wrongful death damages if you lost a loved one in the accident (These damages can include loss of familial love, lost income for the family, and many more)
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 | ClientShould I Hire a Marksville Amazon Truck Accident Lawyer?
It’s difficult to file a claim with the large insurance provider of a major commercial entity like Amazon. The insurer will have many tactics for diminishing a claimant’s case. For example, Amazon’s insurer could claim your damages aren’t as costly as you claim they are.
It’s even more difficult to file a lawsuit against an entity like Amazon. The entity will be backed by attorneys who’ll do everything they have to in order to deflect liability and diminish your case.
A Marksville Amazon truck accident attorney from our firm can take on Amazon’s insurer and even Amazon’s attorneys for you. Your lawyer will take over your case for you and every task involved in your case, including:
- Identifying the liable party or parties: To do this, your lawyer will seek out evidence of liability, such as security camera footage of the accident, delivery logs from the company, and even black box data from the delivery truck. Your lawyer can even file a spoliation letter to preserve certain evidence. Then, your lawyer will hold the liable party or parties to account.
- Proving liability: To do this, your lawyer will show the evidence to Amazon’s insurer (or a judge) and also show the elements of negligence in your case. For example, your lawyer will show that Amazon (or their driver) owed you a duty of care and breached that duty. Your lawyer can even hire a truck accident reconstructionist to assist in proving liability in your case.
- Identifying your compensable damages: These could include certain damages that can be difficult for a claimant to identify, like intangible, non-economic damages, and future economic damages.
- Valuating your non-economic damages: It can also be difficult for a claimant to give fair monetary value to their non-economic damages, like physical pain. Your lawyer will do this so your lawyer can claim these damages for you.
- Negotiating with Amazon’s insurer: To recover your compensation, your lawyer will negotiate with the insurer in good faith. Your lawyer will expect the insurer to act in good faith, as well, and to offer a fair settlement. If they don’t, your lawyer can threaten to sue Amazon and possibly even the insurer itself.
- Suing Amazon: If it will help you recover your due compensation, your lawyer won’t hesitate to sue Amazon. To do this, your lawyer will prepare a lawsuit, serve it to Amazon’s lawyers, take your case to court, and resolve your case and suit with a judge.
The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
