The Rise of Delivery Crashes in Arizona
Amazon packages arrive at lightning speed—but sometimes, safety gets left behind.
In Arizona, multiple lawsuits have been filed against Amazon after individuals were injured by drivers delivering packages. These cases highlight a growing issue: rapid delivery demands mixed with potentially unvetted or undertrained drivers on the road.
One Arizona woman claims she was struck by an Amazon van while walking in her neighborhood. Another was injured when a delivery driver ran a red light. Both victims allege that Amazon and its delivery partners failed to ensure their drivers were properly trained and qualified. These cases may signal a troubling trend—and a need for accountability.
Who Is Responsible?
When a crash involves a delivery driver, figuring out who is liable is not always straightforward. In Arizona, delivery services like Amazon often partner with third-party contractors called “Delivery Service Partners” (DSPs). This can make it difficult to determine who bears legal responsibility—the driver, the DSP, or Amazon itself.
However, if Amazon knew (or should have known) that a delivery partner was hiring unsafe drivers, they may share some of the blame. This is where a legal concept called negligent hiring or negligent supervision comes into play.
A personal injury attorney can investigate:
-
Whether the driver had a history of violations
-
If they were properly trained and licensed
-
Whether delivery deadlines encouraged unsafe behavior
-
How much oversight Amazon exercised over the delivery company
