At Dermer Appel Ruder, our Norcross car accident attorneys know that the liability for delivery driver accidents with injuries in Georgia can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the incident.
Here, our Gwinnett County personal injury attorneys discuss the potentially liable parties and how we can help you and your family pursue a claim against them.
The Delivery Driver
If the delivery driver’s negligent actions, like speeding, distracted driving, running a red light, or any other violation of traffic laws, directly contributed to the accident, the driver may be held liable for the injuries and damages caused.
The Delivery Driver’s Employer
Employers are often vicariously liable for the actions of their employees when those employees are acting within the scope of their employment. If the delivery driver was making deliveries as part of their job during the accident, the delivery company — whether a food delivery, courier, or another company’s driver — may share liability for the accident.
Third Parties
In some cases, a third party, like the manufacturer of a faulty vehicle part or the owner of the delivery vehicle (if different from the driver’s employer), may share liability if their actions or negligence contributed to the accident.
In other cases involving multi-vehicle accidents, more than one driver may be partially at fault. Other drivers, pedestrians, or entities responsible for road maintenance could also be liable if their actions or negligence played a role in the accident.
