Our Orlando USPS Truck Accident Lawyers Understand How These Collisions Occur
USPS vehicles are common in Central Florida. There are more than 20 post offices in Orlando alone, not counting other facilities in neighboring cities. These offices receive mail each day, send mail and packages out daily, and have a fleet of delivery jeeps, vans, and trucks for carriers.
The drivers of these delivery vehicles can cause accidents in many of the same ways other motorists do. However, their job duties also increase the risk of causing a crash in several ways, including:
- Distracted driving from looking at package scanners, GPS, or mail
- Sudden stops or turns without signaling
- Parking in unsafe or obstructive locations
- Backing up without adequately checking their surroundings
- Failing to yield when re-entering traffic
- Driving while fatigued
- Rushing to meet deadlines
- Poor visibility or slippery roads during bad weather
- Hitting pedestrians or cyclists near mailboxes or driveways
In addition to mail carriers, drivers of large trucks move mail between facilities. They may also have tight deadlines, work when drowsy, and make mistakes behind the wheel. Big rig accidents often occur at higher speeds and may cause significant injuries.
Who is Liable for Accidents Caused by USPS Drivers?
Accidents caused by USPS employees create complex legal questions. Generally, the employer is legally liable for a truck accident that occurs while the at-fault driver is working. However, postal workers are federal employees. There are specific laws we must follow to pursue a case against government agencies.
Our Orlando personal injury lawyers understand how these claims work and how to approach them. We can often secure a payout for our clients hurt by a government worker. However, there are often short deadlines we must meet in these cases. Contact us as soon as possible after your accident for help. Our USPS truck crash attorneys are standing by.
Our Orlando Attorneys Understand Why It is Critical to Recover Compensation After a USPS Truck Accident
Our attorneys have handled cases for injured clients for over 40 years. We understand how important it is for victims to recover compensation for the physical, emotional, and financial harm they suffered. Our team knows:
- Medical bills, especially for serious injuries, can be overwhelming.
- Lost income from time away from work adds to the financial stress.
- Serious injuries may require treatment and rehabilitation for months or years.
- Vehicle repair or replacement is often necessary.
- Pain and suffering affect quality of life.
- Permanent disability or disfigurement is possible after a truck accident.
- Holding the liable party accountable can improve overall safety and prevent similar accidents in the future.
Without compensation, many truck accident victims are left to cover their expenses and losses on their own. This is why our lawyers work hard to build compelling cases, preserve evidence, and show fault and liability. This allows us to seek a wide range of economic and non-economic damages for our clients, including:
- Medical bills
- Future care and support expenses
- Lost income
- Reduced earning capacity
- Property damage repairs
- Out-of-pocket costs
- Pain and suffering
- Other intangible losses

What Types of Cases Our Orlando USPS Truck Collision Lawyers Can Handle
Our attorneys represent victims hurt in a collision caused by a USPS employee or a driver beyond the wheel of a postal vehicle. We help individuals pursue a fair payout by managing the government claims process.
If you’ve lost a loved one due to a truck accident, we understand how deeply painful and overwhelming this time can be. Our Orlando wrongful death lawyers are here to support you. In Florida, we work with the personal representative of the victim to pursue compensation on behalf of the surviving family members, helping you seek justice and some measure of closure.
How Quickly Should I Call an Orlando USPS Truck Accident Attorney?
In most truck accident cases, Florida Statutes § 95.11 gives us up to two years to file a lawsuit against the liable party or parties. However, this deadline could be different if the liable party is the U.S. Postal Service.
Having to file a case against a government agency could affect the deadline, usually requiring you to file notice within a few weeks or months of the accident. Missing this deadline could bar you from suing later. For this reason, you should contact the Bogin, Munns & Munns team as soon as your injuries allow to protect your rights.
