When a delivery driver causes an accident, determining who is legally responsible can quickly become confusing.
Many companies—Amazon, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and independent courier services—use third-party delivery contractors rather than hiring drivers directly.
That means the driver who caused the crash may not be an employee of the company whose package they were delivering.
So, if you’re injured, can you file a claim against a third-party delivery contractor?
The short answer:
yes, in many cases you can—and often, you may be able to pursue compensation from multiple parties involved.
