Helping The Victims Of Commercial Vehicle Accidents
When driving down Interstate 64 through Central Kentucky, you do not have to go far to run into delivery trucks for UPS and FedEx. These drivers are under a great deal of pressure to meet their deadlines. It’s no shock that the drivers – with their employers’ blessing – resort to dangerous driving. This behavior can often lead to serious accidents.
I’m Ben Salyers, a Shelbyville personal injury attorney dedicated to recovering the compensation innocent victims of these dangerous practices need. With over 20 years of experience, I know how to navigate these often complex cases and offer the support you need to move forward after an accident.
Standing Up To Powerful Delivery Companies On Your Behalf
Unlike tractor-trailers, which require a commercial driver’s license, FedEx and UPS delivery trucks do not require special licensing. This could lead to these and other similar delivery companies hiring drivers who:
- Drive tired
- Speed
- Text while driving
- Drive drunk
As these companies have strict deadlines, they may employ certain tactics that focus on making ends meet instead of safe driving. Companies might be negligent in truck maintenance as well as in their hiring, training and supervising of drivers. Shortcuts in any of these areas can lead to FedEx and UPS truck drivers engaging in unsafe behaviors on the road. Accidents can also occur due to improper maintenance of trucks, which can lead to rollover accidents and brake failures.
I have experience in tackling these cases, and I’m not afraid to fight these big companies and their negligent practices. I’ll build a strong case that supports your claim and won’t hesitate to take it to court if necessary to protect you and your rights.
