FedEx Truck Accident Lawyer in Louisville, Kentucky

• FedEx Express: time-sensitive deliveries, generally with company-employed drivers.
• FedEx Ground and Home Delivery: generally delivered by independent contractor businesses that hire their own drivers and operate FedEx-branded vehicles.
• Freight and linehaul: tractor-trailers moving between hubs, operated by FedEx or contracted carriers.

When a driver employed by FedEx Express causes a crash on the job, the employer is generally responsible. When the driver works for a Ground contractor, the contractor business is usually the employer, and its insurance comes first, though other parties may share responsibility depending on the facts. We get the contracts, the vehicle ownership and the insurance policies to see the full picture.

Commercial vehicles above federal weight thresholds operating in interstate commerce must follow the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, including driver qualification (49 CFR Part 391), hours of service (49 CFR Part 395) and inspection and maintenance (49 CFR Part 396). See how to check FMCSA safety records.

Your PIP pays first, up to $10,000, regardless of fault (KRS 304.39-020). Claims against the responsible companies follow. Don’t give a recorded statement before getting advice: see recorded statements.

Most Kentucky motor vehicle injury claims must be filed within two years of the crash or the last PIP payment, whichever is later (KRS 304.39-230). Wrongful death and claims against government entities can follow different rules. Estimate your dates with our statute of limitations calculator, then confirm them with a lawyer.
