Instead, the Federal Tort Claims Act makes the United States responsible for the crash, and your claim starts only when the Postal Service receives it from you in writing. The Postal Service then reviews and settles the claims it accepts, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2672.<\/p>\r\n        <p style=\"color:var(--muted);font-size:1.05rem;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.1rem\">Your two year deadline to send that written claim starts the day of the crash, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2401(b), and it keeps counting whether or not anyone contacts you. No adjuster will call, so do not wait for a call before starting your claim.<\/p>\r\n        <p style=\"color:var(--muted);font-size:1.05rem;line-height:1.7;margin:0\">Texas law still decides what careless driving means here. Federal law borrows the rules of the state where the crash happened, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1346(b)(1), so Texas traffic and negligence rules measure the postal driver. One exception: a city or county vehicle falls under the Texas Tort Claims Act instead of federal law, and our <a href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/practice-areas\/car-accident-lawyers\/company-vehicle-accidents\/\" style=\"color:var(--gold)\">company vehicle accident guide<\/a> covers those claims.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <figure class=\"intro__media\">\r\n        <img src=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/usps-truck-accident-texas-delivery-van-2.webp\" alt=\"White mail delivery truck parked at the curb of a Texas residential street\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2000\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\r\n      <\/figure>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<!-- 4.

Sec. 2401(b). After a USPS truck crash we mark that date the week your file opens. Exceptions are narrow, so confirm your dates with an attorney instead of assuming one covers you.<\/p>\r\n        <p style=\"color:var(--muted);font-size:1.02rem;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 .9rem\">Second deadline: if the Postal Service denies your claim in writing, you have six months from the date it mails that denial to file your lawsuit, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2401(b). If six months pass after your claim goes in and the agency has said nothing, you may treat that silence as a denial and file suit, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2675(a). That choice is yours; silence alone does not end the claim.<\/p>\r\n        <p style=\"color:var(--muted);font-size:1.02rem;line-height:1.7;margin:0\">One warning: if a private contract carrier was driving instead of a postal employee, neither federal deadline applies.

Federal law makes you send a written claim first, and a lawsuit filed before that claim is received gets thrown out of court, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2675(a). The written claim goes on a government form called Standard Form 95, the USPS tort claim form, following the postal rules at 39 CFR Part 912.<\/p>\r\n        <p>Box 12d of the form asks for one total dollar amount, called the sum certain. Leave it blank, write an estimate, or give a range, and the law treats your claim as never filed, 39 CFR 912.5. Your injuries and your wrecked car go into that same single number; the car does not get its own claim or its own deadline.<\/p>\r\n        <p>The number in box 12d should state your full losses before any fault reduction. If you were partly at fault, Texas law subtracts your percentage from whatever you recover later. That is why we work out the fault question, starting with the crash report, before the form is ever filled in.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"ind__card\">\r\n        <span class=\"std\">How we build your case<\/span>\r\n        <ul role=\"list\" style=\"list-style:none;margin:0;padding:0;display:grid;gap:1rem\">\r\n          <li style=\"list-style:none;position:relative;padding-left:3rem;color:var(--muted);font-size:1rem;line-height:1.6\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"position:absolute;left:0;top:-2px;width:2rem;height:2rem;display:grid;place-items:center;font-family:var(--f-head);font-weight:800;font-size:.95rem;color:#000;background:var(--gold);border-radius:50%\">1<\/span><b style=\"color:#fff\">Bills already issued.<\/b> We start with the medical bills you already have from the hospital, the doctors, and the pharmacy.

That written estimate from your doctor goes into the total, and if the two year deadline arrives before treatment ends, we file with the bills so far plus that estimate instead of missing the date.<\/li>\r\n        <\/ul>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"frost--two\" style=\"margin-top:clamp(28px,3.5vw,44px)\">\r\n      <div class=\"frost reveal\">\r\n        <h3 id=\"usps-address-h\">What is the address for USPS tort claims?<\/h3>\r\n        <p>There is no single USPS tort claim address. Your claim only counts on the day the Postal Service receives your signed Standard Form 95, not the day you mail it, 39 CFR 912.5. The rules name two possible receiving offices, the local District Tort Claims Coordinator and the National Tort Center, and the right one depends on where your crash happened.<\/p>\r\n        <p>Because your two year deadline depends on that received date, we confirm the correct office in writing before mailing anything. Then we ask that office to confirm it received the form, and we keep proof of mailing so the date can be proved either way.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"frost reveal\">\r\n        <h3 id=\"usps-report-h\">A USPS accident report starts nothing.

Only the written claim the Postal Service receives starts the six month count, so a report alone never lets you treat silence as a denial.<\/p>\r\n        <p>Already reported it? Good; tell us the date and who you spoke to. We use that report as evidence and send the written claim separately.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<!-- 7.

There is no jury: one federal judge decides who was at fault and how much money you recover, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2402. That judge reads documents, so we build your file around the crash report, your photographs, and your medical records from week one.<\/p>\r\n        <p style=\"color:var(--muted);font-size:1.05rem;line-height:1.7;margin:0\">USPS accident claims end one of three ways: the Postal Service pays, it denies, or it never answers.

We mark the six month date the day your claim goes in, because after six months of silence you can treat the claim as denied and file suit; the deadlines section above explains that choice.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <figure class=\"intro__media\">\r\n        <img src=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/josh-media-2.webp\" alt=\"Josh Alexander, Founder and Managing Attorney\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\r\n      <\/figure>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<!-- 8.

These are the questions that come up on first calls.<\/p>\r\n        <div class=\"faq__aside\" style=\"margin-top:clamp(28px,3.5vw,40px)\">\r\n          <h3>Talk to an attorney today<\/h3>\r\n          <p>Bring us the crash report and the date it happened. The first thing we mark is your two year deadline to get the written claim to the Postal Service.<\/p>\r\n          <a href=\"tel:+14698077480\" class=\"btn btn--primary\" style=\"width:100%;justify-content:center\">Call (469) 807-7480<\/a>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"faq__list\">\r\n        <details class=\"faq__item\">\r\n          <summary class=\"faq__q\">Is hitting a mail truck a federal offense?<span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary>\r\n          <div class=\"faq__a\">No. A traffic collision is not by itself a federal crime, and Texas negligence rules decide who drove carelessly. The money claim is the federal part: it names the United States and follows the FTCA deadlines.<\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n        <details class=\"faq__item\">\r\n          <summary class=\"faq__q\">Do mail trucks have to follow traffic laws?<span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary>\r\n          <div class=\"faq__a\">Yes. Federal law borrows the traffic rules of the state where the crash happened, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1346(b)(1), so Texas rules decide whether the postal driver was negligent.<\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n        <details class=\"faq__item\">\r\n          <summary class=\"faq__q\">Can USPS trucks get tickets?<span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary>\r\n          <div class=\"faq__a\">Yes, police can ticket a postal driver, but a ticket is not what wins an injury claim. Fault is proved with the CR 3 crash report, your photographs, and witness statements, so we start with those.<\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n        <details class=\"faq__item\">\r\n          <summary class=\"faq__q\">Do USPS cars have cameras?<span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary>\r\n          <div class=\"faq__a\">Some do and some do not, so treat it as unknown until somebody checks. After your claim is in, we ask the government what it holds and send a written request to preserve it. Your own photographs and any doorbell footage usually matter more.<\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n        <details class=\"faq__item\">\r\n          <summary class=\"faq__q\">Do mail trucks have insurance?<span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary>\r\n          <div class=\"faq__a\">USPS vehicles do not carry auto insurance the way private vehicles do; the federal government covers its own vehicles. The United States pays valid claims itself, through the written claim process on this page. A contract carrier is different: that private company carries its own commercial auto insurance, and you claim against the company in a Texas case.<\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n        <details class=\"faq__item\">\r\n          <summary class=\"faq__q\">How do I contact the USPS Claims Department?<span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary>\r\n          <div class=\"faq__a\">There is no claims department hotline and no adjuster to reach. Everything moves through the written claim and the two federal deadlines, so we handle the letters and track both dates for you.<\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n        <details class=\"faq__item\">\r\n          <summary class=\"faq__q\">How long does it take USPS to settle a claim?<span class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary>\r\n          <div class=\"faq__a\">No law sets a time, and nothing forces the agency to answer at all. Once six months pass after your claim goes in with no decision, you may treat the silence as a denial and file suit, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2675(a).<\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<!-- 14.
