When we venture onto the road in our cars, on motorcycles, on bicycles or on foot, we may encounter delivery trucks posing hazards to the smooth flow of traffic. Delivery trucks such as UPS and FedEx trucks, for example, may stop frequently to make deliveries.

Monetary compensation can help you cope with costs and losses associated with broken bones, a back or neck injury, a head injury or spinal cord damage.
