With Amazon and FedEx, a separate contractor company often sits between the driver and the brand on the van. Answering that one question can take months.<\/p>\r\n        <p style=\"color:var(--muted);font-size:1.05rem;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.1rem\">UPS is different. Its package drivers are direct employees of the company.<\/p>\r\n        <p style=\"color:var(--muted);font-size:1.05rem;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.1rem\">Those drivers are represented by the Teamsters union under the largest private sector union contract in North America. There is normally no contractor company in between. In most UPS truck accidents we can name the defendant immediately.<\/p>\r\n        <p style=\"color:var(--muted);font-size:1.05rem;line-height:1.7;margin:0\">A clear defendant does not make the claim small. The argument moves straight to fault, the records, and the size of the injury.

Its package drivers are employees, so the company itself has to pay for a crash its driver causes while working a route.

UPS itself can be held liable when it keeps a driver on a route with a known crash history. The same is true of training never given, or a repair request the company never acted on.<\/p>\r\n        <p>The two claims rest on different proof. The driver&#8217;s negligence is proved from the collision. The company&#8217;s negligence is proved from employment and maintenance records only UPS holds.<\/p>\r\n        <p>Those records are why we ask in the first week.

It answers for its driver because that driver is on its payroll rather than a contractor&#8217;s. A second and separate claim runs against UPS itself when its own hiring, training, or maintenance decisions helped cause the crash.<\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n        <details class=\"faq__item\">\r\n          <summary class=\"faq__q\">Are UPS drivers employees or independent contractors?<span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary>\r\n          <div class=\"faq__a\">UPS package drivers are employees, which is what makes starting a UPS claim simpler than an Amazon or FedEx one. The exception is the vehicle that is not a company package car. A seasonal or staffing driver can put a second company on the claim, so we get that arrangement documented before anyone is named.<\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n        <details class=\"faq__item\">\r\n          <summary class=\"faq__q\">How long do I have to file after a UPS truck accident in Texas?<span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary>\r\n          <div class=\"faq__a\">Two years from the crash date, under Section 16.003, and the exceptions are narrow enough to be worth checking against your own dates. The deadline is not the only clock. Telematics and route data are overwritten on the company&#8217;s normal deletion schedule, which runs out long before your two year deadline does; see our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/texas-car-accident-filing-deadlines\/\">Texas filing deadlines<\/a>.<\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n        <details class=\"faq__item\">\r\n          <summary class=\"faq__q\">What if I was partly at fault for the crash?<span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary>\r\n          <div class=\"faq__a\">You can still recover, provided your share stays at or below 50 percent, under Section 33.001. What you collect drops by whatever percentage lands on you. An early recorded statement is one of the most reliable ways an adjuster gets that number up, which is why we take those calls instead.<\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n        <details class=\"faq__item\">\r\n          <summary class=\"faq__q\">What evidence does UPS have after a crash?<span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary>\r\n          <div class=\"faq__a\">Route and delivery data, vehicle telematics, the driver&#8217;s employment and training file, maintenance history, and any internal report of the collision. None of it is something you can obtain yourself. Our preservation letter goes out first, because once the company is on notice, telematics that later goes missing becomes its problem rather than yours.<\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n        <details class=\"faq__item\">\r\n          <summary class=\"faq__q\">Do I have to talk to the insurance company?<span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary>\r\n          <div class=\"faq__a\">Report it to your own insurer, because your policy requires that. The other side&#8217;s adjuster is a different matter, and a recorded statement is not something you owe them. We also use discovery to make the other side disclose its insurance and indemnity agreements, which is often how a second responsible company gets found. The tactics themselves are set out in our guide to dealing with insurance companies in Texas, linked in the sections above.<\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n        <details class=\"faq__item\">\r\n          <summary class=\"faq__q\">What does it cost to hire you?<span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary>\r\n          <div class=\"faq__a\">Nothing up front, and no attorney&#8217;s fee at all unless we recover. The fee comes out of the recovery, and we carry the cost of building the file while it is being built. That is what lets us order records and retain experts when they matter rather than when a budget allows; see <a href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/how-contingency-fees-work-texas\/\">how contingency fees work<\/a> for the full breakdown.<\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<!-- 14.
