Although confusing, there is a distinct difference between class action and individual lawsuits in FedEx truck accidents. However, both types of lawsuits require evidence to be gathered and fault to be determined for a party or parties to be awarded damages.
You must also establish negligence for FedEx or one of its independent contractors to be held liable for your injuries.
Through a thorough investigation with the help of an attorney like the ones at TK Injury Lawyers, you can determine if you have grounds to sue FedEx or one of its drivers for a truck accident.
Yet, before this investigation occurs, you must decide whether to engage in a class action or individual lawsuit. In this blog, we’ve discussed the differences to help you navigate your FedEx truck accident.
If you’ve been injured in a trucking accident, you’re likely wondering if you should file a class action lawsuit or an individual lawsuit to get compensation for your injuries and other damages.
The choice is difficult, but one of the easiest ways to decide if you have not consulted a lawyer yet is to determine if you were the only one injured. If you were the only one hurt during an accident with a FedEx truck, you might want to consider filing an individual lawsuit between yourself and the company or independent contractor.
However, if you were one of many hurt in an accident with a FedEx truck and multiple people were involved, you might want to file a class action lawsuit with them. As you might have guessed, a class action lawsuit involves one or more plaintiffs bringing a lawsuit against FedEx collectively as a ‘class.’ In contrast, an individual case involves only one plaintiff.
Suing FedEx with others is a complex process that differs based on the circumstances of the trucking accident case. If you believe you have a case, you can speak with one of our attorneys at TK Injury Lawyers after reviewing the simplified process below:
