FedEx Truck Accidents Happen Frequently in Los Angeles
FedEx accidents happen throughout the city, including from the FedEx Regional LAX hub, the Downtown LA center on S. Grand Avenue, and the LAX/South LA location on South Hindry Avenue. Each of these locations sees frequent truck traffic moving through surrounding neighborhoods. Take a look at some of the reasons why accidents happen here.
- Overworked and tired drivers. The more work they do and the longer their hours, the higher the risk of injury and losses.
- Mechanical failures. Trucks can break down due to poor maintenance and upkeep, causing accidents when they do.
- Backing accidents. These happen due to driver distraction and hurrying, often creating a real risk of serious injury for victims who are on foot or on a bike.
- Reckless driving. Speeding, illegal lane changes, tailgating other drivers, or failing to stop at stop signs and lights are all common reasons these accidents occur and are fully preventable.
- Driver intoxication. There are situations where a driver may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, increasing the risk of serious injury.
- Poor loading and cargo management. When packages shift, drivers lose control.
To determine what happened in your accident, our legal team will seek a full review of all commercial truck data, including black boxes, videos from dash cameras, and maintenance logs. We seek medical records, witness statements, and accident reconstruction reports to gather as much data as possible. This allows us to determine all parties at fault.
What Happens When You Are Partially At Fault
There are many situations in which a driver may share some level of fault with the FedEx driver. In these situations, there is a potential change to your ability to recover damages. California follows a pure comparative negligence law (California Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 1714) when multiple parties are at fault.
This means that if the court determines that both parties share responsibility, it will apportion fault between them. The court reduces the value of your claim by the amount of fault you maintain. For example, if you are 10% at fault, you can still seek 90% of your total losses.
For this reason, it is very important for us to prove, if possible, that you were not at fault. If you do maintain some level of responsibility, expect us to fight to lower that percentage as much as possible to protect your claim value. Our Los Angeles FedEx truck accident attorney at BANA LAW will discuss your rights in these cases.

FedEx Trucks Cause Serious Injuries and Losses
Victims involved in accidents with FedEx trucks, including tractor-trailers and local delivery trucks, often face serious injuries. The size and weight of the truck, especially if the driver is on the freeway at a high speed, can cause the loss of life in a second. Some of the most serious injuries we see in these cases include:
- Spinal cord injuries resulting in partial or full paralysis
- Traumatic brain injuries with cognitive function decline
- Lacerations and deep wounds
- Disfiguring injuries from amputations, burns, and scarring
- Broken bones and crushing incidents
- Internal organ damage from bleeding and blunt force trauma
- Emotional trauma due to the incident
- Complex injuries resulting in loss of vision or hearing
As the victim of an accident like this, you have significant financial losses, physical limitations, and emotional trauma. Do not just settle your claim with the insurance company. Instead, allow our team to review your case, injuries, and other losses carefully. We fight for the damages you deserve.

Types of Losses You May Recover in a FedEx Accident
The law gives victims the right to pursue legal action against the at-fault party for documented losses, including physical, emotional, and financial. It is up to you to understand your losses and their value. Our attorney will seek damages such as the following in most cases like this:
- Medical expenses: This includes losses related to emergency and ongoing medical care you need
- Loss of income: Damages may include loss of wages, earning ability, and benefits
- Pain and suffering: Compensation for pain and suffering includes the time of the accident and through your recovery
- Property damage: Repairs and replacement of your vehicle due to the damage caused in the accident
- Mental anguish: Loss recovery for the depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder
- Loss of quality of life: Changes in your ability to engage in activities you enjoy
Our Los Angeles FedEx truck accident lawyer will pursue comprehensive compensation for you by identifying all potential losses. We will speak to and manage the claims process with the insurance company to hold them accountable, and if they refuse to pay you fairly, we will file a lawsuit. Our experience makes it less likely that it will occur, and instead, you will receive fair compensation.
"Our goal is to remove the stress of the case from you, so you can focus on treating your injuries and begin your road to recovery."
