Ups Truck Collision Complaint
Summary
In Virginia, when involved in a collision with a UPS truck, you should file a complaint against both the driver and UPS, citing negligence and vicarious liability. Use UPSs registered agent address for legal documents. Mentioning the insurer, Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company, is optional but can strengthen your case. The complaint should include sections like caption, introduction, jurisdiction, venue, parties, facts, claims for relief, damages, and prayer for relief. Serve the complaint using a process server or sheriff, and file proof of service with the court. For jurisdiction and venue, refer to Virginia Code §§ 8.01-328.1, 8.01-261, and 8.01-262. Consider consulting a local attorney for personalized advice.Full Conversation
