Handling PI Cases Involving Amazon DSPs and How to Hold Amazon Accountable

When an Amazon delivery driver causes a catastrophic wreck, Amazon’s DSP structure often leaves an undercapitalized contractor — not Amazon — on the hook. Learn to map Amazon’s operational control, depose DSP owners and drivers to establish it, plead dual-employer and joint-venture theories, and build demonstratives that put Amazon’s system before the jury.

Course Overview

Amazon Built a Contractor Shield. A Georgia Jury Pierced It for $16 Million.

2026-07-24 14:00:00

Amazon’s Delivery Service Partner program is engineered to put a layer of “independent contractors” between the company and every collision its drivers cause. The same contracts, apps, and operations manual that run the network also document the control that defeats that defense.

Sue the DSP as a true independent contractor → you collect from an undercapitalized shell and Amazon walks. Depose only the corporate designee → you get scripted contract language, not daily control. Skip the 293-page Operations Manual and the driver-tracking apps → you lose what put 85% of the fault on Amazon in Bradfield v. Amazon Logistics.

You leave with the discovery requests, deposition outlines, and protective-order positions that surface Amazon’s control, the liability theories — dual employer, negligent training and supervision, joint venture — that reach the parent, and the demonstratives and closing themes that carried a 2024 Gwinnett County trial to a $16.2 million verdict, including exclusive video from the case.

Strategies for deposing Amazon DSPs, delivery drivers, and Amazon
