Can You Hold Corporations Liable for a Delivery Truck Accident?
Our personal injury lawyers in Green Bay can help you hold a corporation liable for an accident involving a delivery truck. However, the process isn’t always as straightforward as it seems. First, you need to gather enough evidence to prove that:
- A delivery truck driver works as an employee under a corporate umbrella
- That employee was on duty at the time of your accident
- The employee engaged in avoidable and unpredictable negligence
- That negligence violated the duty of care the employee owed you
- That negligence caused your accident, leading you to suffer economic harm
The evidence we use to make these points can often appear at the scene of your accident. We rely on physical debris, environmental damage, and witness testimonies to make your case. We can supplement those findings with electronic data, video footage of your accident, photos from your accident, and other forms of data.
So long as we have enough evidence to meet or exceed Wisconsin’s burden of proof, we can move your case for compensation forward in civil court.
How to Hold Independent Contractors Responsible for a Delivery Truck Accident
Corporations that use delivery drivers will often take numerous steps to distance themselves from liability for those drivers’ behaviors. You must prove that a driver works as a corporate employee if you want to sue a corporation for your losses. If you get into an accident with an independent contractor instead of an employee, your rights change.
Independent truck drivers view corporations as clients, not employers. As such, independent drivers must:
- Purchase their own insurance
- Assume liability for their behavior on the road
If a corporation can prove that the truck driver responsible for your delivery truck accident works as an independent contractor, you can’t sue that corporation. However, you may sue the independent contractor for the damages you need to recover.

When to Contact Green Bay Delivery Truck Accident Lawyers
We encourage you to get in touch with an experienced attorney at Gruber Law Offices as soon as you can after an accident with a delivery truck. Unfortunately, insurance claims adjusters can rush to the scene in an effort to obscure evidence and pressure you into an unreasonable settlement. Trucking agency representatives can do the same thing.
However, if you can get in touch with an attorney before these parties arrive, you can stay one step ahead of their bad-faith tactics. Our team can represent you in conversations with insurance companies and trucking agencies, ensuring that your voice is heard about their attempts to minimize your losses.
We can also start building your case long before you have to worry about your statute of limitations. Wis. Stat. § 893.54(1m) gives you no more than three years to build a case against another party, whether that be an independent driver or a corporation. The earlier you open a case, the longer you can spend on a comprehensive investigation.
We Work on Contingency
Gruber Law Offices does not require a retainer fee to handle a personal injury case. You do not have to pay any upfront fees to get the representation you need to recover. Why? Because our delivery truck accident attorneys in Green Bay, WI, work on contingency.
Our contingency fee agreements ensure that our attorneys only get paid when we win your case.
You don’t have to worry about legal fees when you reach out to our team for support. Don’t let your statute of limitations expire – let our contingency-based attorneys advocate for your right to a fair settlement today.

How to Ask for Fair Compensation After a Delivery Truck Accident
You do not have to initiate a civil trial to get the compensation you need to recover from a delivery truck accident. Green Bay lawyers can instead mediate private settlement negotiations between you and a liable party. In many cases, trucking agencies will prefer to meet with you privately to avoid going to court.
However, our team knows how to take advantage of a client’s time in a courtroom. If a liable party refuses to recognize your right to fair compensation after a delivery truck accident, we can take your case to trial.
We can discuss our expectations for your case when we meet with you during your FREE case evaluation.
