A claim asks who was careless and what that carelessness cost your family. This guide explains who may be responsible, what a claim can cover, and what to do first.<\/p>\n<h2>What a FedEx Delivery Van Accident Claim Is and Who It Helps<\/h2>\n<p>A FedEx delivery van accident claim is a request for money to cover losses after a crash involving one of these vans. Most FedEx delivery vehicles are box vans or step vans, not large tractor-trailers. Smaller does not mean harmless. These are heavy vehicles that travel neighborhood streets, parking lots, and busy highways every day.<\/p>\n<p>The claim may belong to a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian who was hurt. It may also belong to the family of someone who died. Many people don&#8217;t know whether a van crash can support a serious claim. It can, when another party&#8217;s carelessness caused the harm.<\/p>\n<p>If you were hurt, you may be dealing with pain, time away from work, and questions you never expected. That stress is normal. You don&#8217;t need legal terms to start the conversation. Every case turns on its own facts, and no outcome can be promised before those facts are reviewed.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-color has-text-color\">Not sure what your next step is?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talk it through with our team &#8212; the first consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-call\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:+17867514283\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-form\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/contact-us\/\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/a-fedex-delivery-van-driving-through-a-busy-city-intersectio-photo.jpg\" alt=\"FedEx delivery van driving through a busy city intersection past crowded traffic and restaurants.\" style=\"border-radius:8px;width:100%;aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2>Injuries These Crashes Commonly Cause<\/h2>\n<p>Serious van crashes can cause catastrophic injuries that change a life. These include spinal cord injuries, <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/paralysis\/\">paralysis<\/a> (<a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/paraplegia\/\">paraplegia<\/a> and quadriplegia), traumatic brain injuries, amputations, severe burn injuries, and serious back and neck injuries. Injuries high in the neck can affect breathing, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ninds.nih.gov\/health-information\/disorders\/spinal-cord-injury\">National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Less severe harm also matters. Fractures, deep bruising, and soft-tissue injuries can keep a person in pain and off work for a long time. You don&#8217;t need a catastrophic injury to talk with a lawyer about your options.<\/p>\n<p>Some injuries don&#8217;t show up right away. Symptoms can appear days or weeks after a crash. A medical checkup soon after the crash protects your health. Follow your doctors&#8217; care.<\/p>\n<p>When a crash causes a death, the family may pursue a wrongful death claim. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.16.html\">Florida Wrongful Death Act<\/a> sets out how these cases work.<\/p>\n<h2>What a Claim Can Cover in Florida<\/h2>\n<p>A claim seeks money for the losses the crash caused. Losses usually fall into a few groups:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Medical bills<\/strong>, past and future, including rehabilitation, equipment, and in-home care.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lost income<\/strong> from missed work, and lost ability to earn in the future.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pain and suffering<\/strong>, and the loss of enjoyment of daily life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Florida also limits how medical bills can be proven. For bills already paid, the evidence is limited to the amount actually paid, under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.0427.html\">\u00a7 768.0427<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In a wrongful death case, the decedent&#8217;s personal representative brings the action for the survivors and the estate, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.20.html\">\u00a7 768.20<\/a> explains. Florida law also lists who may recover certain damages. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.20.html\">\u00a7 768.20<\/a>, the personal representative recovers all damages specified in the act for survivors and the estate; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.21.html\">\u00a7 768.21<\/a> says a surviving spouse may recover loss of companionship. Minor children, and all children if there is no surviving spouse, may recover for lost parental companionship, instruction, and guidance, and for mental pain and suffering. The full list appears in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.21.html\">\u00a7 768.21<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The value of any claim depends on the injuries, the medical proof, and the losses documented. No amount can be promised.<\/p>\n<h2>Who May Be Responsible When a FedEx Van Causes Harm<\/h2>\n<p>The party whose careless conduct caused the crash may be responsible. Every accident is different, and our team can review what happened to you and explain how it may apply to your situation. Common examples include speeding, distraction, fatigue, unsafe lane changes, and poor vehicle maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>Many FedEx routes are run by contractor drivers who work for separate companies. Who may be liable depends on who owned the van, who employed or contracted the driver, and what the facts show. Our team can explain how the facts of your case relate to the laws that may apply. An owner who hands a vehicle to someone the owner knows, or should know, is likely to drive it dangerously may be liable for the owner&#8217;s own negligence, as <a href=\"https:\/\/static.case.law\/so2d\/352\/html\/1216-01.html\">Clooney v. Geeting<\/a> explains.<\/p>\n<p>Other drivers or third parties may share fault too. Florida&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.81.html\">comparative fault rule<\/a> divides fault by percentage. A party found more than 50 percent at fault for their own harm may not recover any damages.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Claim Process Works, Step by Step<\/h2>\n<p>A typical claim moves through medical care, evidence, investigation, negotiation, and possibly a lawsuit. Each step matters.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Get medical care and keep every record.<\/strong> Keep bills, receipts, and notes about missed work. Follow your doctors&#8217; care.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preserve evidence.<\/strong> Take photos, write down witness names, and keep vehicle details. Florida requires the investigating officer to complete the long-form crash report and submit it to the department within 10 days after the investigation is completed, for motor vehicle crashes that result in death, personal injury, or any indication of complaints of pain or discomfort, among other listed crash types, under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0300-0399\/0316\/Sections\/0316.066.html\">\u00a7 316.066<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be careful with insurers.<\/strong> It helps to talk with a lawyer before giving a recorded statement to any insurance company.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Investigate the facts.<\/strong> This can include the crash scene, vehicle data, driver records, and company policies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Negotiate, then file if needed.<\/strong> Many claims resolve through negotiation. When they don&#8217;t, a lawsuit may be filed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Deadlines apply. Florida sets time limits for filing lawsuits under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0095\/Sections\/0095.11.html\">\u00a7 95.11<\/a>, and they can be short.

In a negligence action, a party found to be more than 50 percent at fault for his or her own harm may not recover any damages, but this does not apply to an action for damages for personal injury or wrongful death arising out of medical negligence pursuant to chapter 766.<\/p><\/details><details class=\"wp-block-details chg-faq is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How long do I have to file?<\/summary><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Florida sets filing deadlines, and they can be short.

Yes. Under Florida&#8217;s wrongful death law, all potential beneficiaries, including the estate, must be named in the complaint with their relationships to the person who died. The personal representative may recover for the estate things such as the person&#8217;s lost earnings from the injury to death (less lost support of survivors) and medical or funeral expenses charged to the estate.<\/p><\/details>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/fedex-delivery-truck-parked-on-a-busy-city-street-beside-urb-photo.jpg\" alt=\"FedEx delivery truck parked on a busy city street beside urban buildings\" style=\"border-radius:8px;width:100%;aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2>Talk to CHG About Your FedEx Van Accident<\/h2>\n<p>If a FedEx van crash has left you or someone you love facing medical bills, lost work, or a loss that changed your family, you don&#8217;t have to sort it out alone. <a href=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/contact-us\/\">Contact CHG Personal Injury Lawyers<\/a> for a free, confidential consultation.
