You may have been a driver, a passenger, a motorcyclist, a cyclist, or a pedestrian.<\/p>\n<p>A claim can seek payment for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Medical bills, both past and future<\/li>\n<li>Lost wages and lost ability to earn income<\/li>\n<li>Pain, suffering, and mental anguish<\/li>\n<li>Long-term care and home changes after a catastrophic injury (a serious injury that lasts a long time or is permanent)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Florida limits pain-and-suffering damages in motor vehicle cases.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Significant and permanent loss of an important bodily function<\/li>\n<li>Permanent injury within a reasonable degree of medical probability, other than scarring or disfigurement<\/li>\n<li>Significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement<\/li>\n<li>Death<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Common injuries include broken bones, back and neck injuries, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and severe burns. The size of an injury matters. But every crash turns on its own facts.<\/p>\n<p>This page is for injured people. It is also for parents, spouses, and adult children. They may be acting for someone who cannot write or make calls right now.<\/p>\n<h2>Common Causes of FedEx Delivery Van and Package Car Crashes in Florida<\/h2>\n<p>Most of these crashes happen on busy roads, in neighborhoods, and in parking lots and loading areas. Serious crashes often happen on fast highways like the Florida Turnpike. A sudden slowdown leaves little time to stop.<\/p>\n<p>Several causes come up again and again:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Driver fatigue.<\/strong> Long shifts and tight routes can wear a driver down. Federal rules for property-carrying commercial vehicles require 10 consecutive hours off duty before driving. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-06\/title-49\/section-395.3\">49 C.F.R. \u00a7 395.3<\/a>, a driver may not drive without first taking 10 consecutive hours off duty, and may not drive after a period of 14 consecutive hours after coming on-duty following 10 consecutive hours off-duty. Within that period, a driver may drive a total of 11 hours. Except for drivers who qualify for certain short-haul exceptions, driving is not permitted if more than 8 hours of driving time have passed without at least a consecutive 30-minute interruption in driving status. The facts matter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Distraction.<\/strong> Handheld devices, dispatch screens, and navigation can pull attention away from traffic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rushing.<\/strong> Tight delivery windows can push drivers to speed or squeeze into gaps in traffic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vehicle problems.<\/strong> Brake or tire failure, poor maintenance, and jackknife or rollover events can all cause a crash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Crashes involving motorcycles and ATVs often cause serious harm. Florida requires motorcycle riders to wear protective headgear that meets federal standard 218. A rider over 21 can go without a helmet only if covered by a policy with at least $10,000 in medical benefits for crash injuries (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0300-0399\/0316\/Sections\/0316.211.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 316.211<\/a>). Helmet use and visibility are often examined after a <a href=\"\/resources\/motorcycle-accidents\/\">motorcycle crash<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Who Can Be Held Responsible<\/h2>\n<p>Responsibility can reach past the driver. It can reach the companies that employ the driver, hire for the route, or maintain the vehicle. Start with the driver. Then look at the employer and the company that assigned the route.<\/p>\n<p>Some FedEx routes are run by independent delivery service providers. The business that employs the driver may not be FedEx itself. That changes which companies and insurers must be identified.<\/p>\n<p>Other parties can share responsibility. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A maintenance provider<\/li>\n<li>A maker of a faulty part<\/li>\n<li>Another driver whose carelessness contributed to the crash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Florida courts enter judgment against each liable party based on its percentage of fault. In negligence actions, Florida courts enter judgment against each liable party based on its percentage of fault. They do not hold each party responsible for the full amount (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.81.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.81<\/a>). In legal terms, this rule is called &#8220;apportionment of damages.&#8221; Judgment is not entered &#8220;on the basis of the doctrine of joint and several liability.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hiring decisions can matter too. Each crash turns on its own facts.<\/p>\n<h2>Florida Rules That Shape Your Options<\/h2>\n<p>Florida&#8217;s rules on insurance, deadlines, and fault shape every claim. The points below are general. Your facts decide how they apply.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your own policy may pay early medical benefits. Ask what it covers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deadline.<\/strong> Section 768.81 sets no filing deadline; it defines a \u201cnegligence action\u201d as a civil action for damages based upon a theory of negligence, strict liability, products liability, professional malpractice, breach of warranty, and like theories, without limitation. Negligence means carelessness that causes harm. Deadlines apply to wrongful death claims under Florida law, so families should contact the firm promptly. Acting early protects your options.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shared fault.<\/strong> Insurers may argue that you share some blame. Florida divides fault by percentage. So early statements can matter. Be careful about what you say before the facts are clear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What to Do After the Crash and What to Preserve<\/h2>\n<p>Get medical care first. Then protect the records that show what happened. Prompt care also creates a clear record linking your injuries to the crash.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>See a doctor right away.<\/strong> Get checked even if symptoms seem minor. Some injuries appear hours or days later. Follow your doctors&#8217; care plans.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get the crash report.<\/strong> Florida requires a Long Form crash report to be completed and submitted to the department within 10 days after the investigation is completed by the law enforcement officer for crashes that result in death, personal injury, or any indication of complaints of pain or discomfort by any of the parties or passengers involved in the crash, or that involve a commercial motor vehicle (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0300-0399\/0316\/Sections\/0316.066.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 316.066<\/a>). The parties, their legal representatives, and their insurers can access it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Record the FedEx details.<\/strong> Note the vehicle number, the company name, and any driver identification.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Document the scene.<\/strong> Take photos and video. Collect witness names and phone numbers. Note the weather, lighting, and road conditions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep every record.<\/strong> Save bills, receipts, and records of missed work.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be careful with insurers.<\/strong> Talk with a lawyer before you give a recorded statement or sign a release. A release is a document that gives up your right to sue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dash camera footage, GPS and vehicle tracking data, driver logs, and maintenance records can be overwritten on a schedule. A lawyer can send preservation letters. These letters ask the companies to keep this evidence.<\/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\">Have questions about what happened?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask our team directly.
