Why UPS Truck Accidents in California Cause Serious Injuries

UPS operates thousands of delivery trucks, box trucks, cargo vans, and 18-wheelers across California. These vehicles are large, heavy, and often driven under intense delivery schedules — which significantly increases collision severity.

Common high-impact UPS crash types:

• Rear-end collisions

• Left-turn / right-turn crashes

• Sideswipes in narrow streets

• Bike and pedestrian strikes

• Crosswalk accidents

• Freeway collisions

• Delivery-stop backing accidents

• Intersection crashes

Because of the weight and size of UPS vehicles, injuries are often severe — and settlements frequently exceed six figures when liability is clear and injuries involve surgery, fractures, spine trauma, or long-term disability.

Common Injuries After a UPS Truck Crash in California

UPS accidents often cause catastrophic injuries, including:

• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

• Concussions and post-concussion syndrome

• Spinal injuries (herniated discs, nerve damage, spinal surgery)

• Broken bones / fractures

• Knee, shoulder, and hip injuries

• Severe back injuries

• Internal injuries

• Crush injuries

• Permanent disability

• Wrongful death

If you required ER treatment, imaging (MRI/CT), hospitalization, or surgery, your case may qualify for substantial compensation.

Who Is Liable in a UPS Truck Accident?

UPS (United Parcel Service) and its insurance carriers may be held liable if a UPS driver caused your crash due to:

• Speeding

• Distracted driving

• Fatigue from delivery demands

• Improper backing

• Failure to yield

• Left-turn / right-turn errors

• Unsafe lane changes

• Parking violations

• Running red lights

• Defective maintenance or equipment failure

We immediately investigate:

• Driver logs

• Delivery schedules & dispatch records

• Vehicle inspection and maintenance history

• Black-box / EDR data

• Route GPS data

• Video footage from businesses or UPS truck cameras

This evidence is often the difference between a denied claim and a six-figure settlement.

UPS Insurance Coverage in California — What You Need To Know

UPS carries large commercial insurance policies, often with multiple layers of coverage. This is one reason UPS accident cases can result in higher-value settlements than ordinary car accidents.

Coverage may include:

• Commercial liability insurance

• Umbrella or excess policies

• Cargo policies (depending on the vehicle)

• Self-insurance for certain divisions

But UPS and its insurers fight aggressively to:

• Deny liability

• Blame the victim

• Minimize injury severity

• Discount surgery/future care

• Challenge medical treatment necessity

• Delay payment

This is why UPS cases require a law firm with the litigation power to stand up to them.

What To Do Immediately After a UPS Truck Accident

To protect your injury claim, follow these steps:

1. Get medical treatment immediately

Your medical records are the #1 evidence insurance companies use to value your claim. Even if you “feel fine,” get checked.

2. Do NOT speak with UPS or their insurance adjusters

Anything you say can be used against you — especially recorded statements.

3. Get a copy of the police report

We can pull this for you.

4. Take photos and gather evidence

Vehicle damage, skid marks, street signs, injuries, UPS vehicle number, witness contacts, UPS driver’s name.

5. Contact a UPS accident lawyer immediately

UPS begins defending their driver within hours of the crash. You need someone protecting you just as fast.

The sooner we start investigating, the stronger your case becomes.

How Much Is a UPS Accident Case Worth?

The value of your UPS injury case depends on:

• Severity of injuries

• Whether surgery is required

• Permanent impairment

• Medical bills (current + future)

• Lost income and lost earning capacity

• Pain and suffering

• Property damage

• Corporate negligence (training, hours-of-service, maintenance errors)

UPS cases often exceed $100,000 when:

• There is surgical intervention

• There are fractures

• There is TBI or neurological injury

• The victim is a pedestrian or cyclist

• The UPS vehicle is a large box truck or 18-wheeler

We pursue the maximum value available under all layers of UPS insurance.
