When to Contact a UPS Truck Accident Lawyer
UPS stands for the United Parcel Service, Inc. UPS is one of the largest delivery corporations in the United States, with an enormous fleet of delivery vehicles operating across Tulsa and northeastern Oklahoma every day. With the number of drivers they have on the road, UPS keeps a team of lawyers on hand to protect the company from liability whenever their drivers are involved in an accident. For that reason, it is critical to speak with an attorney at Ylla | Gosney as soon as possible after an accident to understand what legal options are available to you.
Depending on the details of your accident, you may be able to sue UPS, but you will need to prove they were at fault for the accident and your injuries. If you have a case, our law firm will be able to help you:
- Investigate the incident
- Determine a liable party or multiple liable parties
- Protect your rights and your right to compensation from the insurance company
It can be difficult to recover compensation on your own, as insurance companies are motivated to minimize what they pay out. Our law firm will help you pursue UPS for economic and non-economic damages, which include:
- Emergency room treatment
- Physical therapy
- In-home care
- Lost income
- Vehicle repair
- Loss of consortium
- Pain and suffering
- Future loss of earnings
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Emotional pain
- Court costs and fees

UPS and Truck Accident Statistics
The scale of commercial truck accidents in Oklahoma and across the country is staggering, and UPS’s massive delivery fleet contributes to that risk. According to FMCSA data, a total of 2,943 crashes involving UPS vehicles took place over a two-year period. Nationally, large trucks were involved in 156,942 crashes in 2023, resulting in 4,936 fatalities and 74,187 injuries. The consequences for people in passenger vehicles are especially severe, and the vast majority of fatalities in large truck crashes are not the truck drivers themselves, but the occupants of other vehicles.
According to the National Transportation Research Group, in Oklahoma, there were 2,904 crashes involving large trucks and buses in 2025 alone. In a recent year, Oklahoma recorded over 5,500 total crashes involving large trucks, 99 of which were fatal, with 1,332 individuals sustaining 130 injuries of which were classified as serious. In Oklahoma, commercial vehicles are responsible for a small minority of accidents overall, but the effects of these crashes are often devastating.
The Tulsa area has seen firsthand how dangerous UPS truck accidents can be. According to Fox23, in August 2024, a UPS truck and a semi-truck collided on eastbound I-44 near 165th Street in east Tulsa, killing two occupants of the semi at the scene. Incidents like this make clear that when a UPS truck is involved in a crash on Tulsa roads, the results can be catastrophic, which is why it is recommended to speak with a Truck Accident Lawyer at Ylla | Gosney to understand your legal options after being injured in a UPS accident.
What to Expect After an Accident with a UPS Driver
UPS drivers undergo extensive training through a program called Integrad to help drivers avoid accidents while on the job. Drivers are put through 5 to 9 days of driving and delivering simulations before they’re allowed to begin delivering packages in real-world scenarios. Even with that training, accidents do happen.
After the immediate aftermath of a UPS truck accident, you will receive medical treatment. At some point, UPS’s insurance may offer you a settlement. By agreeing to that settlement, you waive your right to pursue an attorney, as well as any additional compensation from UPS. It is important to remember that you do not have to accept any settlement offer. If you are unsure about what to do next, our door is always open. Contact us today, or stop by our offices for a free consultation.
UPS Drivers’ Insurance Policy
UPS drivers are insured under UPS’s corporate insurance policy. If you are involved in an accident with a UPS driver in Tulsa, you will need to file an accident claim with the company’s insurance. If you decide to file a lawsuit, you will be suing UPS — not the individual driver. This is because the company is liable for the actions of its drivers through vicarious liability, which is covered under Oklahoma’s Respondeat Superior Law, which states:
“The employer or a principal could be held vicariously liable for an unlawful or unjust act of an employee or an agent. For the employer or the principal to be vicariously liable under the respondeat superior, the employer or the agent must commit the wrongful act while working in the scope of the employment agency.”
Typical Value of a UPS Truck Accident Settlement
If you’re injured in a UPS truck accident in Tulsa, you may be able to receive compensation for your damages. While multiple factors contribute to the value of your claim, there are three main categories of damages that will have the most substantial impact:
- Economic damages: financial losses you incurred due to the accident, including medical bills, lost wages, loss of future earning potential, loss of property, and cost of repairs.
- Non-economic damages: subjective, non-compensatory losses including pain and suffering, emotional distress, depression, anxiety, and loss of consortium.
- Punitive damages: damages awarded to punish the at-fault party for reckless behavior or actions performed out of malice or spite.
