Amazon has been facing scrutiny in recent years over the working conditions of its delivery drivers. In Joliet, Illinois, other nearby cities in the Chicago area, and throughout all of the United States, Amazon delivery drivers have been involved in numerous car accidents.

Issues Affecting Amazon Delivery Accidents in Joliet

Amazon has become one of the largest retailers in the world, and its delivery drivers are a common sight on roads and highways across the country. Unfortunately, these drivers are often under immense pressure to meet unrealistic deadlines, which can lead them to take dangerous shortcuts that may lead to accidents. Amazon drivers may engage in multiple types of violations or unsafe behaviors, such as driving for too many hours without rest, failing to properly maintain their vehicles, speeding, aggressive driving, or failing to obey traffic signals. Distracted driving is also common among Amazon drivers, and focusing on an app that provides them with instructions about their next deliveries may cause them to miss important details and become involved in dangerous accidents.

While it may seem evident that Amazon is responsible for the actions of its drivers, these cases can become complicated due to the fact that most delivery drivers do not work directly for Amazon. Drivers may be independent contractors who are self-employed, or they may work for third-party "delivery service partners" that contract with Amazon to pick up and deliver packages. Classifying drivers in this manner is a ploy used by Amazon to attempt to avoid liability, and because of this, accident victims are often left unsure about how they can receive the compensation they need and deserve.

To address issues related to liability and ensure that Amazon or other parties will be held responsible for a victim's injuries, it is crucial to work with an attorney who understands the legal issues involved in these cases. At Issa Law, LLC, we can help victims take action against Amazon and show that because the company was in control of the work performed by delivery drivers, it is responsible for these drivers' actions. We can also assist with filing insurance claims and negotiating settlements with insurance companies on a victim's behalf. We will make sure victims explore all options for recovering compensation, and we will not rest until they are made whole.
