Carrollton UPS Truck Accident Lawyer
When a United Parcel Service (UPS) truck crashes into your life—literally or figuratively—the aftermath can be devastating. With the boom in e-commerce, Texas roads are more congested than ever with delivery vehicles. UPS, a major player in the logistics industry, operates a large fleet of brown delivery trucks, and accidents involving these vehicles are not uncommon. If you or a loved one has been injured in a crash with a UPS truck, you need a legal team that knows how to fight back against large corporate insurers and their tactics.
At Carrollton Injury Law, we put Personal back into Personal Injury Law. We understand what’s at stake for you—medical bills, lost income, pain, and emotional trauma—and we’re committed to helping you seek the compensation you rightfully deserve.

What Our Clients Say
Why UPS Truck Accidents Are Different
UPS truck accidents are more complex than typical car crashes for a few key reasons:
1. Corporate Involvement
Unlike private passenger vehicles, UPS trucks are part of a large commercial operation. This means multiple parties may be liable—including the driver, the employer (UPS), a third-party contractor, or maintenance providers.
2. Stricter Regulations
UPS trucks are subject to both Texas state and federal trucking laws. These include regulations from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) covering hours of service, drug and alcohol testing, driver qualifications, and vehicle maintenance.
3. Aggressive Insurance Defense
UPS and its insurers are known for deploying powerful legal teams to minimize or deny payouts. Victims need equally aggressive representation to level the playing field.
Common Causes of UPS Truck Accidents
UPS drivers are often under tight delivery schedules, which can lead to negligent behavior. Common causes of UPS-related crashes in Texas include:
Driver fatigue
Speeding to meet delivery quotas
Improper turns or lane changes
Distracted driving (e.g., using the GPS or scanner while driving)
Unsecured packages or overloaded trucks
Mechanical failure due to lack of maintenance
Inexperienced or inadequately trained drivers
Common Injuries in UPS Truck Accidents
Due to the size and weight of delivery trucks, the injuries involved are often serious, including:
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Spinal Cord Injuries
Broken bones and fractures
Internal organ damage
Permanent scarring or disfigurement
Wrongful death in severe cases
Even if your injuries seem minor at first, they can evolve into chronic pain or long-term disability. That’s why it’s critical to seek both medical attention and legal guidance as soon as possible.

Who Can Be Held Liable?
In a UPS truck accident claim, one or more of the following parties may be liable:
The UPS driver — if negligent or reckless.
United Parcel Service (UPS) — under the legal doctrine of respondeat superior, employers may be liable for the actions of their employees.
A third-party contractor — many UPS deliveries are now handled by contract drivers under UPS's "SurePost" or "Delivery Partner" programs.
Truck maintenance providers — if poor maintenance contributed to the crash.
Vehicle or parts manufacturers — if a defect in the truck caused the collision.
Determining liability requires a thorough investigation. Carrollton Injury Law’s legal team will gather black box data, delivery logs, driver employment history, maintenance records, and more to build a strong case on your behalf.
What Damages Can You Recover?
Victims of UPS truck accidents may be entitled to seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages:
Economic Damages:
Current and future medical expenses
Lost wages
Loss of earning capacity
Rehabilitation and physical therapy costs
Non-Economic Damages:
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Disfigurement
Loss of enjoyment of life
Loss of companionship in wrongful death cases
Every case is different. The actual compensation amount depends on the severity of your injuries, degree of negligence, and long-term impact on your life.
Time Limit to File a Claim in Texas
Under the Texas statute of limitations, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Delaying your case may cause you to lose the right to recover compensation altogether. The sooner you get legal representation, the better your chances are for building a strong case and preserving critical evidence.
What to Do After a UPS Truck Accident
If you’ve been hit by a UPS truck, here are the key steps you should take:
Call 911 — Get emergency medical help and ensure a police report is filed.
Seek medical attention — Even if you feel okay, internal injuries may not be visible.
Document everything — Take photos, gather witness names, and keep all receipts.
Do not speak to UPS or their insurance company — They may try to get you to accept a quick, low settlement.

FAQs About UPS Truck Accidents
How do I know if UPS is responsible for my accident?
Liability depends on who caused the accident and under what circumstances. Our legal team will investigate whether the driver was working within the scope of their job and whether UPS failed to enforce proper safety protocols.
What if the driver was a contractor and not an official UPS employee?
You may still be able to hold UPS or a third-party contractor liable, depending on the nature of the relationship and the circumstances of the crash. Contract drivers often still operate under UPS branding and guidelines.
Can I afford a lawyer?
Yes. At Carrollton Injury Law, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay us unless we win your case.
Should I accept a settlement from UPS’s insurance company?
Not without speaking to a lawyer. Initial settlement offers are usually much lower than what your case may be worth. Let us review the offer before you sign anything.
How long will it take to settle my claim?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of your case, the severity of injuries, and whether a lawsuit needs to be filed. We aim to resolve claims efficiently but will not rush a case at the expense of your rightful compensation.
