FedEx, formerly know as Federal Express, has long been a household name in America. Known for its ability to ship and deliver packages of all sizes overnight, FedEx has become a shipping and logistics giant, and serves as a staple of the courier industry. Across the country, FedEx trucks carry time-sensitive packages to people in cities, suburbs, and small towns.
Like any other commercial truck on the road, FedEx trucks are involved in crashes. Despite FedEx’s rigorous safety training program for all of its drivers, accidents do still occur, and may be caused by:
• mechanical failure and defective equipment
• inclement weather
• unstable cargo/improper loading procedures
• debris, lack of visibility, or poor road conditions
Accidents can cause injuries to both the FedEx drivers as well as to the occupants of other vehicles involved. The delivery trucks are large, and are often heavily loaded with cargo. Because of their mass and weight, accidents involving these large commercial vehicles are more catastrophic than accidents involving only passenger cars. Not only does the amount of property damage increase significantly, but the accidents are much more dangerous for any victims.
