Suing Amazon for Crash Cases: Establishing Corporate Liability and Maximizing Recovery

Course Overview

The largest transportation company in the world says the drivers are not its problem.

2026-09-30 13:00:00

Amazon has rapidly grown into the largest transportation company in the world. It moves freight through Delivery Service Partner vans, Flex drivers, and Amazon Relay 18-wheelers. At every level, Amazon treats the companies and drivers doing that work as independent.

Sue only the DSP or the motor carrier and recovery stops at their limited coverage. Prove agency and Amazon itself answers for the crash. Bradfield v. Amazon and Daniels v. Amazon show what control evidence can do. Direct negligence adds negligent training, supervision, and selection, plus chameleon carriers and improperly brokered loads.

Attorneys leave with a working map of both case types and the liability theories that fit each. This panel identifies the key discovery to pursue from intake and the trial lessons from cases already brought against Amazon. That is practitioner judgment, not material a search can substitute for.

03
Agency Theories
The control Amazon exercises over DSP drivers and Relay motor carriers that supports treating the driver as Amazon’s agent.

Negligent training, supervision, and selection, and when Amazon is acting as a motor carrier rather than a shipper.
05
Key Discovery Targets
The discovery needed to prove agency and direct negligence in both delivery-van and 18-wheeler cases.
06
Trial Lessons
What Bradfield v. Amazon, Daniels v. Amazon, and other cases teach about known issues like chameleon carriers and team loads pulled by single drivers.

Program schedule

clock 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EST

Delivery Van Cases: Amazon Delivery Service Partner Cases

This session opens with the rise of Amazon: how the company rapidly grew into the largest transportation company in the world, why delivery has been such a large focus of its efforts, and how it accomplished that feat. The panel then maps the two main types of Amazon cases, last mile DSP van and Flex car cases and middle mile 18-wheeler cases, before covering Delivery Service Partner cases in depth. Attorneys will learn how the DSP system works, agency theories built on how Amazon controls the DSP and driver, direct negligence theories including negligent training and supervision, the key discovery needed to prove each theory, and lessons from the Bradfield v. Amazon trial.

clock 2:10 pm - 3:10 pm EST

18-wheeler Cases: Amazon Relay Cases

This session covers Amazon Relay 18-wheeler cases. The panel explains how the Relay system works, then examines agency theories based on how Amazon controls the independent motor carrier and driver, and direct negligence theories, including that Amazon is acting as a motor carrier not a shipper, negligent selection, and failure to prevent known issues like single drivers pulling team loads, chameleon carriers, and improper brokering of loads. Attorneys will learn the key discovery needed to prove each theory and lessons from the Daniels v. Amazon case and others.
