A Man Paralyzed in a Work Van Crash Is Suing Amazon
A man who was left paralyzed after a collision with an Amazon van is suing the company, arguing that the way it monitors drivers, including through cameras installed in vans, makes it liable for the crash, Bloomberg reports.
Per Bloomberg’s report, 24-year-old Ans Rana was injured in a crash involving an Amazon van in March. He sustained serious brain and spinal cord injuries, Bloomberg reported.
Amazon has consistently argued it cannot be held liable for crashes involving Amazon drivers because it does not directly employ them. Amazon relies heavily on a network of smaller contracted delivery companies called Delivery Service Partners (DSPs).
