Our Asheville Truck Accident Lawyers Can Help You Seek Damages
When our Asheville personal injury lawyers represent an Amazon truck accident victim, we pursue fair compensation for them based on their expenses, future costs, and intangible losses. Through the years, we have helped 10,000 clients recover more than $100 million in payouts. We can help you, too.
Each personal injury case is unique. We identify each client’s economic costs and non-economic losses and document them. Then, we use this to seek compensation to cover them. Those with the most severe injuries and lasting impairments typically recover more, although this is not always true.
Some types of recoverable damages in these cases could include:
Economic Damages
These damages have a fixed financial value based on the receipts, bills, and invoices you have incurred following the accident. They may include such losses as:
- Past and future medical expenses related to the accident
- Lost income for missed work
- Loss of earning capacity if there are lasting impairments
- Property damage to the vehicle and other personal property
- Medical bills for rehabilitation and therapy
- Home care or support for long-term injuries
- Out-of-pocket expenses
Non-Economic Damages
Reflecting your reduced quality of life, these damages are more subjective but no less important. They may include such things as:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress, such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD
- Disfigurement or disability
Wrongful Death Damages

Holding Amazon Accountable for Your Asheville Truck Accident Damages
Amazon trucks and delivery vans are everywhere. It seems like you cannot drive through the neighborhood without spotting one. This is no surprise since Amazon is one of the top retailers in the world.
According to Capital One Shopping, consumers spent $638 billion on the Amazon marketplace in 2024, and more than 310 million shoppers made at least one purchase a year from Amazon. Each of these packages is delivered using some type of ground transportation, often employing both tractor-trailer trucks and delivery vehicles.
When an Amazon delivery van is making deliveries, the driver could make any number of errors behind the wheel and cause an accident, which could include:
- Speeding to meet tight deadlines
- Distracted driving because of their phone, GPS, or scanning equipment
- Frequent stopping and starting in busy areas
- Unsafe lane changes or turns
- Driver fatigue from long hours
- Inadequate training or inexperience
- Poor vehicle maintenance
- Improper parking or backing up
- Failure to yield
- Ignoring traffic signals or signs
With the DRT4 Amazon Delivery Station in Mills River, you could encounter tractor-trailers operated by Amazon on I-40, I-240, or I-26.
Who Is Liable for an Asheville, North Carolina, Amazon Truck Accident?
In many cases, Amazon can be held legally responsible for a crash involving one of its trucks, trailers, or delivery vans. This typically applies when the driver is an Amazon employee acting within the scope of their job, such as moving cargo or delivering packages, under the legal concept known as vicarious liability. If the driver causes an accident while performing work tasks, Amazon may be liable for injuries or damages resulting from the crash.
Even when the driver is an independent contractor, Amazon might still be liable if the accident occurred due to issues under Amazon’s control, such as problems with Amazon-owned equipment, insufficient driver training, or unsafe delivery procedures. Our team will evaluate if Amazon’s policies or actions contributed to the crash and pursue a claim accordingly.
Our Asheville Amazon truck collision attorneys can help you determine what happened and identify all potentially liable parties. We will not back down just because Amazon might be liable. When necessary, we will sue the liable party to seek fair compensation for you.
How Our Asheville Amazon Truck Collision Lawyers Recover Compensation for Victims
When our team manages a truck wreck case, there are generally two ways we secure compensation for our client:
Settlement
A settlement resolves the dispute without going to court. The liable party pays fair compensation in exchange for ending the case. Settlements can occur any time before or during trial.
Litigation
Litigation occurs when we file a lawsuit and prepare the case to be heard before a judge or jury, allowing them to close the case, issue a verdict, and potentially award compensation. Generally, a settlement is faster, lower risk, and more confidential, while litigation is a lengthy, formal, and public process.
Sometimes, a lawsuit is necessary. When we need to sue, we have two to three years to do so. The deadline is two years from the date of death in wrongful death cases per N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-53 and three years from the accident date for injuries under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-52.
Why Trust Your Case to Our Personal Injury Team
Our attorneys have extensive experience handling cases in a variety of areas of law. We work to represent clients in an honest and helpful way, understanding how important the outcome of their case is to them. We even provide a 24/7 helpline so our clients can always reach someone about their case.
