STRUCK BY A UPS, FED EX OR AMAZON DELIVERY TRUCK: WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS?

All of these vehicles operate on Florida roads with very tight delivery schedules. According to information compiled by www.CapitalOneShopping.com drivers for Amazon deliver on average per day 250-300 and have one stop every 2 minutes and 15 seconds. That very brief 135 seconds includes the travel time getting to the next stop and completing the actual drop off. That same clock is on the driver throughout the day, every day that Amazon driver is behind the wheel of the Amazon truck. It is all great to have packages delivered to the home or directly to the work, but not great when the rush to keep up results in a crash with the Amazon truck, Fed Ex or UPS truck.

See more Capital One vital statistics below for Amazon:

Amazon Delivery Service Partner (DSP) drivers are not directly employed by Amazon; consequently, they are independent of Amazon’s shipping and logistics departments.

• Over 275,000 drivers deliver for 1,700 Amazon DSPs.
• Amazon DSP drivers each deliver an average of 1.53 packages per delivery stop.
• A typical suburban or semi-urban Amazon DSP driver makes 180 stops and delivers 250-300 packages in a day.
• To stay on schedule, a typical driver must make one (1) stop every 2 minutes and 15 seconds.

What the numbers tell us is that Amazon drivers—whether direct employees or working as a “delivery service partner”—have to constantly be on the run to complete package deliveries of 1 per every 135 seconds. This obviously means that Amazon drivers must perform their job quickly. This undoubtedly translates into auto crashes involving Amazon employees or Amazon independent contractors with the rest of the motoring public, and bicyclists, and pedestrians. Here are more statistics relating just to Amazon:

• In the first six months of 2023, Amazon fulfilled same- or next-day delivery for over 1.8 billion U.S. Prime purchases. (That is a lot of interaction with pedestrians and bicyclists.)
• Amazon’s branded fleet includes 40,000 semi trucks, 30,000 vans, and over 110 aircraft for worldwide transport.

If you are struck as a pedestrian by one of the Amazon trucks or their independent contractors you are going to need help fighting against the multi-billion-dollar giant. The numbers show that the U.S. Postal Service delivers the most packages with 31.7% of the market. Next is UPS at 24.3%. Amazon is at 22.6% market share. And Fed Ex is at 19.1% market share. These numbers translate into a lot of delivery vehicles that are on the road, in a hurry, and worrying about completing the schedule for the day. Every day.
