Injured in an Accident Involving the Delivery of Equipment, Supplies, or Fill Dirt?

Delivery trucks are a common sight on construction sites and roadways across San Diego. Whether transporting heavy machinery, construction materials, or fill dirt, these vehicles pose a significant hazard when not operated or loaded properly. Car accidents involving delivery trucks can lead to serious injuries and complex liability issues. If you’ve been injured in a crash involving a delivery of equipment, supplies, or fill dirt, Scott M. Blumen, Attorney at Law, APC is ready to help you pursue fair compensation.

Why These Accidents Happen

Delivery-related accidents often involve large commercial vehicles navigating narrow streets, construction zones, or residential neighborhoods. These vehicles are heavier, take longer to stop, and can cause far more damage than a typical car. Common causes of these types of accidents include:

  • Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
  • Driver fatigue or lack of training
  • Failure to obey traffic laws or signals
  • Backing up without clear visibility
  • Spills or debris falling into the roadway
  • Speeding or reckless driving near job sites

In some cases, the cargo itself—such as loose fill dirt or unsecured equipment—can fall onto the roadway, causing accidents even without direct collision.

Serious Injuries from Delivery Truck Collisions

Due to the size and weight of delivery vehicles, even low-speed collisions can result in major injuries. Victims in smaller vehicles often suffer:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Broken bones or internal trauma
  • Severe lacerations or crush injuries
  • Fatal injuries in high-impact collisions

Recovery can be long and costly, requiring ongoing medical treatment, rehabilitation, and time away from work. That’s why it’s critical to pursue maximum compensation for your injuries.

Injuries from Equipment, Supply, or Fill Dirt Deliveries

Who May Be Liable?

Accidents involving deliveries of heavy equipment or materials often involve multiple parties, making liability more complex. Depending on the circumstances, any of the following may be responsible:

  • Delivery driver or trucking company
  • Construction company receiving the delivery
  • Equipment rental provider
  • Fill dirt or supply delivery subcontractor
  • Third-party logistics company
  • Vehicle or trailer manufacturer (in case of mechanical failure)

At Scott M. Blumen, Attorney at Law, APC, we perform a detailed investigation into your case, reviewing delivery logs, driver records, maintenance reports, and eyewitness statements to determine fault.
