USPS Mail Truck Accident Lawyer

Whenever a negligent road user causes you injuries by triggering an accident, you can hold them accountable through an injury claim. This often entails approaching the at-fault party’s insurance company for damages. However, if the negligent driver is a USPS (U.S. Postal Service) mail driver, the process changes and becomes much more complicated.

If your traffic collision was caused by a USPS mail truck, the federal government becomes the at-fault party because their employee caused your injuries while acting within the scope of their employment. As you can already guess, having the United States as a defendant in an injury claim or lawsuit complicates matters.

The good news, however, is that you don’t have to worry about navigating your situation’s complexities. That’s because our experienced USPS truck accident lawyer is here for you. 

We’ll guide you through all the processes required to obtain the highest possible payout from the federal government. Our attorneys won’t stop until we achieve the best outcomes.

How to File a USPS Mail Truck Accident Claim

Understanding the Federal Tort Claims Act

The Federal Tort Claims Act regulates personal injury claims that arise from a federal government employee’s negligence while on the job. To be eligible to file a claim under this Act, you must prove that:

• You were injured by a federal employee.
• The employee was acting within the scope of their job description.
• The employee acted negligently or wrongfully (this could be by distracted driving, making irregular stops, speeding, driving too slowly, etc.).
• The employee’s negligent actions are the proximate cause of your injuries or property damage.

After confirming your eligibility, your claim against the federal government begins by completing and submitting an SF95 “Claim for Damage, Injury, or Death”  form. This ensures that the federal government is duly notified of your claims against them. It contains your basic personal information, describes the accident, and identifies potential witnesses.

You can file your injury claim at the U.S. post office facility closest to you. Claimants are also expected to include a demand for damages in their claim.

While the federal compensation process can be complex, our attorneys are here to simplify it for you. We’ll handle all your case requirements from the beginning to the end, ensuring that you dedicate your time to recuperating.

Any piece of evidence that helps to prove the USPS driver’s fault and the damages incurred will strengthen your case.
