Delivery truck accidents, particularly those involving Amazon vehicles, can be far more dangerous than typical car accidents. The size and weight of these trucks can cause severe injuries and extensive property damage. To make matters worse, Amazon often pressures its drivers to deliver packages on strict timetables, increasing the risk of accidents on Pennsylvania roads. If you’ve been injured in an Amazon truck accident, it’s crucial to take prompt legal action to protect your rights and seek the compensation you deserve.

How Amazon's Policies Raise the Risk of Delivery Truck Accidents
As the world’s largest online retailer, Amazon has built its reputation on fast, reliable delivery. However, this emphasis on speed can come at a cost. According to a Business Insider report, Amazon delivery drivers are expected to deliver between 250 and 300 packages per day on average. That number rises to as high as 400 during peak holiday periods. This intense pressure to meet delivery quotas can cause driver fatigue, rushed driving, and an increased accident risk.
Moreover, a ProPublica investigation revealed that Amazon’s delivery network is linked to numerous accidents, injuries, and even fatalities. The report found that Amazon’s focus on rapid expansion and cost-cutting measures has resulted in inadequate safety training and oversight of its delivery drivers. Amazon has frustrated U.S. Senators by evading direct questions about safety practices and even wrote a letter to Congress that skirted requests for safety protocol information.

Amazon's Attempts at Evading Liability
Amazon’s delivery network is complex, with the company utilizing both Amazon Flex drivers and third-party Delivery Service Partners, or DSPs. While the company insures Amazon Flex drivers, DSPs are independent contractors who must carry their own insurance. This distinction allows Amazon to distance itself from liability for accidents involving DSP drivers. Meanwhile, Amazon continues to hire DSP drivers, increasing the number of drivers not insured by the retail giant.
The legal implications of this job status classification are still being debated in courts across the country. A 2020 case involving rideshare “gig” workers in Pennsylvania addressed the issue, with a lower court favoring the classification of Uber drivers as employees. However, the matter is still pending appeal and remains unresolved. However, courts in two states—Wisconsin and Virginia—have recently classified Amazon drivers as employees in 2023 opinions, potentially setting a precedent for holding the company accountable for accidents caused by its drivers.
Given the complexity of Amazon’s business model and the unsettled state of the law, it is essential to work with an experienced attorney who can navigate these challenges and determine the best path forward for your case.
How Long Do I Have To File My Claim?
Pennsylvania’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases, including those involving Amazon truck accidents, is generally two years from the incident date. Therefore, you generally have two years to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for your injuries and losses. Failing to file within this timeframe can result in losing your right to pursue legal action.
Contact an attorney promptly after an accident to ensure your claim is filed within the statute of limitations. The knowledgeable attorneys at Cordisco & Saile LLC can help you understand your rights and guide you through the legal process.
"If you're involved in a trucking accident, you should notify a lawyer immediately. It's important that we start our investigation almost from the beginning because the insurance company or the trucking company sends their own investigators and team to the accident scene to try to gather evidence and reduce their liability."

Real Stories. Real Results.
“I was in a serious accident in 2021. My injuries were new however they mimicked some of the injuries I received in a 2017 accident. After treating with 2 doctors, both who stated my injuries were permanent, I was recommended to Cordisco & Saile. My attorney, Steven DeBonis, was wonderful. He listened and guided me through the process. He worked endlessly to ensure I received a proper settlement. I am so grateful for his effort and kindness. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needed someone to fight for them. The staff was friendly, informative and helpful. They are the best legal team around. Thank you for all you have done.”
I had a slip and fall on Saturday, December 21, 2024. I waited a few days before calling Barbara’s firm and when I decided to reach out, I left a message late at night on the 23rd. First thing Christmas Eve day, Barbara calls me to let me know. She received the message and wanted to chat about my fall. She was extremely professional, detailed the process, and what they would look for in terms of backup documentation, but also instilled a sense of safety and security because she was kind, compassionate and empathetic. She gave the distinct impression that my case would be well researched thoroughly but also be done ethically without having me jump through a whole lot of extra hoops. Five stars, would highly recommend.”
“I had a car accident in January 2019. I called Cordisco and Saile. Michael Saile Jr. worked with me along with his associate Steve, and para legal Michele. They treated me with kindness and respect. I had injuries to my neck and spine. I went through months of physical therapy. The person who t- boned my car had no license, registration or insurance, therefore Mr. Saile had to put together a lawsuit against my own insurance company. I had limited tort insurance but Mr. Saile and his people fought to get me the most money that I was entitled to from my insurance company. It took four years due to the pandemic but they kept at it until they reached the maximum. I cannot thank them enough. Everyone in their office worked very hard for me. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who has had an accident, or any legal work.”
