Who is Liable for a Delivery Truck Accident?

Delivery truck accidents have various causes. Often, the cause of these incidents is pinpointed on either driver error or mistakes made by the company that owns the truck. We have to be careful when we talk about the truck owners because often, the delivery companies do not directly own the trucks that deliver their packages. Major online retailers like Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and others use independent contractors to deliver their packages (or even the US Postal Service). Often, packages go through multiple delivery services before they reach their final destination.

Liability for a New Mexico delivery truck accident could fall to a driver if they are an independent owner-operator or a trucking company if the driver works as an employee. In some cases, delivery drivers may be a direct employee of the actual company a person purchases items from, though this is not common.

Aside from a driver, truck company, or delivery company, there may be other parties that could be liable for these incidents. This can include any third party that loads the vehicle as well as maintenance companies or companies that manufactured the truck or parts for the truck.
