Person on cell phone in front of motorvehicle accident involving a delivery truck If you’ve been in a car accident with a delivery truck or van, you know it’s not like a typical fender bender. These vehicles are heavier, often owned by large companies, and usually driven on tight schedules. You might be dealing with more damage and more paperwork. Who is really responsible?

We’ve handled many of these cases at Troxler & Troxler Law Firm in Waldorf, Maryland. Patrick D. Troxler brings years of legal experience and a deep connection to the Southern Maryland community. His partner, Teneshia M. Troxler, knows how to navigate the legal details and has taken on plenty of complex injury claims across the state.

Who Might Be Responsible After a Delivery Truck Crash?

Delivery accidents can involve more than just the driver. In many cases, the company they work for could be on the hook. That includes national delivery services, local contractors, or even third-party logistics companies.

There are times when the driver is clearly at fault, but it’s still the company that carries the legal responsibility. Other times, the driver may not even be an employee but an independent contractor, which can make things murkier. That’s where the situation can start to get complicated and where legal help makes a difference.

Why These Cases Get Complicated Quickly

Liability in these accidents isn’t always clear-cut. Businesses might argue the driver wasn’t working at the time, or blame another party entirely. Some use layers of contractors, making it harder to trace who’s actually responsible. And then there’s the insurance side—commercial policies can be harder to access and negotiate than standard car insurance.

This is exactly the kind of situation our firm handles. You should not have to chase down a company or fight an insurance rep on your own. With over 130 personal injury cases under our belt, we know how to move things forward without making it more stressful for you.
