- Side-Impact Collisions: At intersections, a truck may strike a car from the side if the driver does not yield or runs a light.
- Jackknife Accidents: Sudden braking, especially on wet roads, can cause a trailer to fold toward the cab.

Accidents involving Amazon trucks can be more complicated than a typical car crash. Responsibility may depend on whether the driver is an independent contractor or a company employee. This affects which insurance applies and who should be held accountable. At LJBLegal, we carefully review these details so no responsible party is overlooked.
- Independent Contractors: Often use their own vehicles and personal insurance, which can limit recovery options.
- Company Drivers: Usually drive Amazon-owned trucks with coverage provided by the company.
- Third Parties: Maintenance companies, other drivers, or manufacturers may also share liability.
These issues can be confusing, but our team understands how to sort through them and guide you to the right path forward.

Frequently Asked Questions About Amazon Truck Accidents
Who Pays for Damages After an Amazon Truck Accident?
Liability depends on the driver’s employment status and the details of the crash. Sometimes the driver’s personal insurance applies, other times Amazon’s coverage is responsible, and in some cases both may be involved. LJBLegal carefully reviews all policies and parties so nothing is missed.
Do I Have to Go to Court for My Case?
Most truck accident cases settle without going to trial. However, if the insurance company does not offer what your case is worth, the attorneys of LJBLegal are prepared to go to court. We explain your options at every step so you feel confident about the path forward.
How Long Do I Have to File a Claim in Louisiana?
In Louisiana, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Waiting too long can hurt your case, since evidence can disappear and witnesses’ memories fade. It is best to contact LJBLegal quickly so we can begin gathering evidence and filing your claim on time.
What if I Already Spoke to the Insurance Adjuster?
Insurance adjusters may ask questions in ways that hurt your case. Even if you have spoken to them, you still have the right to hire a Louisiana truck accident lawyer. LJBLegal can step in, take over communication, and make sure your rights are protected moving forward.
