The family's attorney, Michael Adler, told the outlet that Amazon has denied any responsibility. Alder did not immediately return Insider's request for comment on Saturday.
Alder told KTLA that Amazon says it is not liable because the driver of the delivery van was contracted through a third party. The e-commerce giant is also refusing to turn over dashcam video of the incident without a confidentiality agreement, he told KTLA. The response is a tactic commonly used by Amazon to avoid lawsuits related to drivers delivering its packages.by ProPublica, reporters found that between 2015 and 2019, drivers delivering packages for Amazon had been involved in at least 60 car crashes that caused serious injury.
While the driver's are paid by, and technically work for, those third parties, they use Amazon apps to track packages and chart their delivery times and progress, according to the ProPublica investigation. Amazon also requires driver's to meet strict delivery deadlines. Alder said the Wu family is hoping that their wrongful death lawsuit will hold Amazon accountable for the delivery driver's actions and prevent other families from going through similar circumstances."We have the resources. We have the ability to fight them — but what happens to the next and the next and the next?" Alder asked, according to KTLA."We don't want that to happen to our client in this case, but we don't want it to happen to anyone in the future.
