Driving on the roads of Connecticut means sharing space with a variety of other vehicles. That includes trucks, public transportation, and federal vehicles like United States Postal Service (USPS) trucks.
While no one wants to be involved in an accident, it is something that can happen at any time. No matter how careful you are, you can never be sure about other drivers on the road with you. All it takes is one second of distraction for an accident to happen.
The USPS has more than 200,000 vehicles serving the entire country. That includes large trucks, vans, and other types of cars required to perform their duty. They cover countless miles every year to make deliveries as quickly as possible. The problem is that negligent driving practices caused by fatigue or stress can lead to accidents.
Common causes of USPS truck accidents include:
The driver is not always at fault. Lack of proper vehicle inspection can also cause accidents.
If you are involved in an accident with a USPS truck, contact The Doctor Lawyer Team for a consultation. Let a competent Connecticut USPS accident attorney help build your case.

There is a big difference between dealing with a private insurance company for personal injuries and directly with the USPS. The latter requires strict adherence to their protocols, rules, and regulations to reach a proper resolution. The process can be complicated.
If you are not able to follow the process outlined by the Federal Tort Claims Act, your claim can be thrown out.
Choosing to represent yourself in court means the judge will treat you as if you are any other lawyer. They will not be lenient.
