Delivery Van Wrecks

Delivery Vehicle Accidents in Texas

The continued rise of online shopping and grocery delivery services has contributed to a spike in delivery vans and trucks on Texas roads and highways. In fact, a recent report from eMarketer’s research division found that grocery delivery service Instacart is expected to grow its business by 17.4% by the end of this year. With consumer convenience trends like this, delivery vehicles are here to stay. However, due to their size, these bulky vehicles can be dangerous and sometimes deadly when they cause an accident.

Common Causes of Delivery Van Accidents on Texas Roads

Many companies and their drivers work hard to get consumers like you their goods in as fast as an hour. But that means that companies and their drivers are rushing to make deliveries on time, which can lead to careless mistakes that cause an accident. Common causes of wrecks involving delivery vehicles include:

Distracted driving. A delivery driver’s attention may be split between what is happening on the road and following a navigation app with their route, a timer, or the feedback from a company dispatcher encouraging them to rush.
Driver exhaustion or drowsy driving. As drivers are pushed to the limit or picking up additional routes, companies don’t always ensure drivers have ample downtime to rest.
Driver inexperience. In their haste to get consumer goods out quickly, companies do not always take the time to properly train their delivery drivers.
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. No explanation needed.
Improper maintenance of the delivery vehicles that result in mechanical failures.
Reckless driving such as speeding, running red lights, and not using turn signals.
