Car Accident Prevention & Safety Tips For Teen Drivers

You were on your way to work in Wauwatosa, backing out of your driveway in Madison, or heading home through Green Bay when it happened. An Amazon delivery truck—rushing to stay on schedule—slammed into your car. Now, your vehicle is damaged, you may be injured, and you're left wondering:

Who is responsible?

Can I hold Amazon accountable?

What steps do I need to take right now?

With Amazon delivery vans and third-party contractors flooding Wisconsin neighborhoods daily, accidents are becoming more common in Milwaukee, Madison, Appleton, and beyond. If you've been hit by one, you're not alone—and you don't have to figure it out on your own.

At Natasha Misra Law, we help people across Wisconsin recover after truck accidents involving companies like Amazon. We’ll fight to protect your rights, handle the insurance companies, and pursue the full compensation you deserve. Let’s look at what you should do first, and how our truck accident attorneys can help.

Assess Your Safety First

Your health is the most important priority. If you’ve been hit by an Amazon delivery vehicle:

Move to a safe area, if possible.
Call 911 and request medical attention.
Accept help from emergency responders—even if you think you're “okay.” Many injuries aren’t immediately obvious.
Getting prompt medical care not only protects your health, but it also creates vital documentation that connects your injuries to the accident.

Document the Scene

The more information you can collect, the stronger your case may be. After a crash involving an Amazon delivery truck:

Take photos of the vehicles, the Amazon logo or markings, damage, skid marks, road signs, and injuries.
Get the driver's name, phone number, and employer (many Amazon deliveries are made by third-party contractors).
Ask witnesses for their names and contact information.
Save everything—including your medical records, car repair estimates, and receipts. We’ll help you build a clear and thorough claim.

Why Amazon Delivery Accidents Are Different

Amazon doesn’t operate like a traditional trucking company. Many of their delivery drivers work for independent delivery service partners (DSPs)—third-party companies under contract. That means you may be dealing with:

A driver’s personal insurance
The DSP’s commercial policy
Amazon’s corporate legal team

And none of them are eager to pay out a claim. Because of these layers, determining who is legally responsible takes experience. At Natasha Misra Law, we know how to dig deep, find out who’s liable, and make sure your rights are protected.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, car accidents are the second leading cause of death for teen drivers in the United States. A staggering figure of 2,400 teens aged between 13 and 19 lost their lives in vehicle crashes in 2019.

Why are teen drivers so vulnerable to car accidents, and how can you help, as a parent, to prevent teenage car accidents? Below are helpful safety tips for teen drivers.

Driving experience – Teen drivers lack driving experience. Work with your child to develop substantial driving experience in all weather conditions. Train your teen to drive in both urban and rural areas so they can learn to navigate different types of traffic. Ride along with your child as they learn to drive for about 30 to 50 hours and ensure that they are able to handle a variety of traffic and weather conditions.
Buckle up – In Wisconsin, all drivers and passengers over the age of 4 years old are required to wear a seatbelt, and for good reason. Helping your teen develop a habit of buckling up before taking to the road is the most effective way to help them avoid severe injuries in the case of a traffic collision. Start talking to them about the importance of wearing a seatbelt before they begin driving and never let your teen turn on the car without first putting on their seatbelt.
Use signals – Teach your child to use appropriate signs to indicate their intentions when driving. They should also watch out for other drivers signaling to change lanes or turn.
Learn the controls – This is one of the most important safety tips but is often overlooked. It is essential for your teen to know how their vehicle operates. For instance, they should master how to use various indicators, adjust mirrors, seatbelts, touch screens, and other vehicle functions to ensure safety.
Obey speed limits – Failure to follow the recommended speed limits increases a driver’s risk of an accident. Speed limits are often disregarded by teens. Talk to your child about the importance of maintaining appropriate speed limits while driving.
Avoid distractions – Teens are susceptible to distractions. They have grown up chatting, texting, and multitasking with cell phones and other devices. At the dinner table, it can be annoying. Behind the wheel, it can be deadly. Help your teen understand the perils of texting and driving, and encourage them to keep their phones away when they are behind the wheel.
Identify your vehicle blind spots – Most cars have blind spots that prevent drivers from seeing other cars on the road. As your teen learns to drive, help them identify and understand how blindspots affect their ability to safely change lanes and make turns.
Restrict night driving – Most deadly teenage accidents occur at night and usually involve drinking, speeding, and reckless driving. Establish a curfew for your teen and ensure they don’t drive past the suggested hours.
