Can I sue FedEx if a FedEx Ground driver hit me in Aurora?

Often yes. FedEx Ground uses contractor entities and argues it isn't the employer, but FedEx's control over routes, branding, and standards, and any negligent selection of an unsafe contractor, can support holding FedEx liable alongside the contractor and driver. Express drivers are generally employees.

What evidence decides a FedEx crash case?

The truck's data and cameras, route and delivery records, the driver's qualification file, maintenance logs, and, for the big rigs, federal hours-of-service logs. All of it is preserved by immediate spoliation letters.

What's the deadline for a FedEx truck claim in Colorado?

Three years for the crash (C.R.S. § 13-80-101), two years for wrongful death, with evidence preservation measured in days.

Why FedEx Cases Are Different

Delivery van stopped on a neighborhood street | Colorado FedEx truck accident attorney | Lionheart Injury Law

Two FedEx models, two cases: Express (employees, direct corporate liability) and Ground (contractors, a shield we breach with control and negligent-selection evidence). The linehaul tractor-trailers add the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, a standard of care and an evidence source in one. Our FedEx truck accident guide covers the playbook; it applies mile-for-mile in Aurora.

The rest of the case follows the commercial-carrier playbook on our truck accident playbook.

FedEx Traffic in Aurora

Delivery routes blanket the city, from the dense apartment corridors along Havana and Peoria, where backing accidents and pedestrian strikes happen in lots and alleys, to the new subdivisions east of E-470, where vans push quota-length routes on unfinished streets. Linehaul traffic runs I-70 and E-470 past the Stafford and Majestic logistics parks. The crash types repeat: rear-ends on arterials, wide right turns across bike lanes, and backing strikes, each documented by the truck's own cameras, if preserved in time.

How We Build a FedEx Case

Same-week spoliation letters to FedEx, the contractor entity, and the insurers for camera footage, telematics, route records, the driver's file, and maintenance logs. We map the contractor relationship for the control evidence, read the federal logs on linehaul crashes, and reconstruct the crash with the physical evidence. Every available policy gets identified before negotiations start.

Damages, Venue, and Deadlines

Under HB24-1472, non-economic damages are capped at $1.5 million (2025); economic damages and physical impairment damages are uncapped, and a fatal crash carries the $2,125,000 wrongful death cap. Three years to file (C.R.S. § 13-80-101); Aurora venue is Arapahoe County District Court for most of the city. Don't take the fast offer that banks on the contractor confusion. If trial is what it takes, we are ready.
