Stat. \u00a7 95.11(5)(a)<\/a>). Families who lose someone in a crash face their own timing rules. Waiting for insurance talks can use up time and weaken proof, so it helps to learn the dates early.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n<p>The short answer is that most Florida crash claims must be filed within two years. Keep these points in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Under Florida law, actions founded on negligence generally must be commenced within two years (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0095\/Sections\/0095.11.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 95.11<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>Wrongful death claims brought by a family follow their own rules, and their dates can differ from the crash date.<\/li>\n<li>Florida divides fault by percentage. A person found more than 50 percent at fault for their own harm may not recover damages in a negligence action (<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>), but this bar does not apply to personal injury or wrongful death claims arising from medical negligence under chapter 766.<\/li>\n<li>Delivery vehicle records can be lost, so early steps protect your proof.<\/li>\n<li>You can start with a free, confidential first consultation with Igor Hernandez and the CHG team.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\"><img src=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/a-large-truck-lies-overturned-on-the-shoulder-of-a-rural-dir-photo.jpg\" alt=\"A truck lies overturned beside a rural dirt road in daylight.\" style=\"border-radius:8px;width:100%;aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/figure>\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<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you were hurt in an Amazon delivery crash, or you are acting for a family member who was hurt or killed, you don&#x27;t have to sort out the deadline alone.

Don&#8217;t wait for insurance negotiations to finish before you act.<\/p>\n<h2>When the Clock Starts and Why Dates Are Not Always Simple<\/h2>\n<p>In most crash cases, the clock starts on the date of the crash. Some situations shift that date, so the calendar needs a careful review.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some medical malpractice claims start from when the harm was discovered or should have been discovered, but never later than the outer limit in the statute (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0095\/Sections\/0095.11.html\">Fla.

Delivery companies and nearby businesses often keep data for limited periods.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>GPS and telematics data.<\/li>\n<li>Electronic logging device records.<\/li>\n<li>Dashcam footage and delivery-scan timestamps.<\/li>\n<li>Maintenance logs and cargo paperwork.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Federal rules require some motor carriers to keep driver duty-status records for at least 6 months from receipt (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-06\/title-49\/section-395.8\">49 C.F.R. \u00a7 395.8<\/a>). Early written requests to preserve evidence protect the claim.<\/p>\n<p>Crash reports also matter. Injuries with delayed symptoms are often the hardest to prove. Follow your doctors&#8217; care and keep a record of symptoms from the start.<\/p>\n<h2>Who Can Be Responsible and Common Causes Behind These Crashes<\/h2>\n<p>More than one party can share responsibility after an Amazon truck crash. The driver, the company that operates the vehicle, and others may each play a role.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Delivery vans are often run by contracted companies, so the employer may differ from the name on the vehicle.<\/li>\n<li>A 2026 U.S. Supreme Court decision held that a state-law claim that a broker negligently hired an unsafe motor carrier is not preempted by federal law (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/opinions\/25pdf\/608us1r32_g3bi.pdf\">Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>Florida courts enter judgment against each liable party by its percentage of fault, not on a joint basis (<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>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Crashes involving delivery vehicles are often linked to alleged causes such as distracted driving, driver fatigue, speeding, impaired driving, improper cargo loading, and poor vehicle maintenance. Each cause leaves different evidence, such as phone records, duty-status logs, cargo manifests, and repair reports. Request each party&#8217;s records in a timely way.<\/p>\n<h2>What a Claim May Cover and How the Process Works<\/h2>\n<p>A Florida injury claim can seek compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. Wrongful death claims have their own categories of damages.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Minor children may recover for lost parental companionship, instruction, and guidance (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.21.html\">Fla.
