What steps should I take right after being hit by a FedEx truck?

1. Call 911 for police and emergency medical help, even if injuries seem minor.
2. Move to a safe area away from traffic if possible.
3. Get the FedEx truck driver's name, commercial license number, and insurance info.
4. Take clear photos of all vehicles, license plates, company logos, and your injuries.
5. Get contact details for any witnesses who saw the accident happen.

The takeaway is: Every action at the crash scene strengthens your legal claim and safety.

Should I call the police and seek medical attention?

• Always call law enforcement—officers’ crash reports provide crucial evidence and driver/company info for your claim.
• Even if you feel “okay,” get examined by medics right away; many serious injuries like whiplash or concussion appear hours later.
• Visit a local ER or urgent care (Broward Health, Baptist Health are both trusted in South Florida).

What specific evidence do I need to collect?

• Photos of all vehicles, cargo, skid marks, and any scattered FedEx packages
• Driver’s name, employer (FedEx), badge or vehicle/route number
• Insurance info and delivery log/schedule if possible
• Names of police officers and copy of their report
• Witness names/contacts and any video of the accident (from phones, dashcams, or nearby businesses)

Tip: Secure everything you can. The Injury Firm will request truck data and logs as soon as you call.

How soon should I speak to a FedEx truck accident lawyer?

• Contact a lawyer right away—delivery companies investigate fast and often deny fault.
• Early legal action protects critical evidence and prevents mistakes when speaking to insurance or FedEx reps.
• The Injury Firm offers free consultations 24/7—don’t delay.

Can I sue FedEx or just the driver after an accident?

• In Florida, both the FedEx driver and the FedEx corporation (as the driver’s employer) may be liable for your injuries.
• If a third party (another driver, loader, or maintenance company) contributed, multiple claims may be possible.

The takeaway: Successful lawsuits often name every at-fault company for the strongest recovery.

Who pays for my medical bills and repairs after a FedEx truck accident?

• FedEx carries large commercial truck insurance; their policy typically covers your injuries, repairs, and other damages—once liability is established.
• Initially, your own PIP (no-fault) insurance may cover quick medical bills (Florida drivers).
• If damages exceed PIP, or in serious injury cases, the truck company’s insurer and sometimes the company directly pays.

How does Florida’s PIP/no-fault law affect my crash recovery?

• PIP (Personal Injury Protection) covers your medical bills and some lost wages up to $10,000, no matter who caused the accident.
• For severe injuries, a claim against FedEx and others is required to recover above the PIP threshold.
• Non-drivers (pedestrians, cyclists, out-of-state visitors) may be able to claim directly from FedEx’s policy.

What if my injuries are severe or the insurance offer is too low?

• Never accept a settlement without legal review—FedEx adjusters may offer less than your case is worth.
• An experienced lawyer may often negotiate or litigate for hundreds of thousands more, especially in serious injury or wrongful death cases.

Are FedEx truck accident cases different from other truck crashes?

• Yes—FedEx has legally aggressive insurance teams and their own investigators. Their accident data, dispatch records, and GPS logs can be complex to obtain without legal help.
• Settlements and liability often hinge on federal trucking rules (FMCSA) and proven evidence of company fault.
