Can You Sue Amazon After a Truck Accident?
You may have the right to sue Amazon after an accident with one of its truck drivers. However, the question of liability in the wake of an Amazon truck accident isn’t always straightforward, and workers’ contracts aren’t always designed to make it easy to hold Amazon liable for your losses.
First and foremost, we encourage you to book a free case consultation with a Charlotte Amazon truck accident attorney. There, you can discuss:
- What negligence led to your collision
- What contract the driver in question works on
- What insurance companies may assume responsibility for your financial recovery
- What tools you can use to financially recover from your losses
If evidence indicates that a truck driver needs to take responsibility for your accident, we can assess their contract and determine whether or not fault defaults onto Amazon. We can then represent you as you file an insurance claim with Amazon’s provider or you sue the company for damages.
We can also support you when filing a lawsuit against other liable parties.
Should You Accept a Settlement From Amazon After a Truck Accident?
Amazon knows how to respond to emergency situations. Before you even have a chance to weigh suing the company versus pursuing an insurance claim, an Amazon representative may reach out to you with a settlement offer that seems too good to be true.
You do not have to accept a settlement offer from Amazon, a truck driver, other liable parties, or insurance adjusters following a collision. In fact, our Team recommends that you turn down any of the initial settlement offers you receive, as they will likely undervalue your losses and limit your right to future legal action.
If you do receive a settlement offer after an accident with an Amazon truck, let an attorney know as soon as you can. Our Team can weigh that offer against our own estimate of your case’s value and help you negotiate for more support while preserving your right to file an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit.

What Evidence Can You Use to Make an Amazon Truck Accident Case?
The evidence that has the greatest bearing on your case will vary depending on the circumstances that led to your collision. Our Amazon truck accident attorneys in Charlotte encourage you to contact a representative shortly after your collision so we can gather physical debris and witness statements before time starts to impact them.
We will also fight for your right to access a truck’s black box data, as well as any electronic data relevant to your accident. We can compile these findings along with expert witness statements, police reports, and other data to build the foundation of your case and specifically identify which party you can name liable for your losses.
Our Team can also break down the contracts that might impact your recovery. For example, we can sift through an independent contractor’s contract to determine what insurance coverage they benefit from through Amazon and when they need to rely on their own provider for support.
North Carolina’s Statute of Limitations
If you want to file a truck accident claim with North Carolina’s civil courts, you need to gather all of the data relevant to your case in a finalized claim before your case’s statute of limitations expires. N.C. Stat. § 1-52(5) allows you to take up to three years to build your claim, barring certain exceptions that may allow you to extend your timeline.
The sooner you can contact an attorney and ask for legal support, the easier it will be to make the most out of your filing timeline.
