The federal rules that apply
- Hours of service limit how long a truck driver may drive and require rest (49 CFR part 395). Most trucks record this on an electronic logging device.
- Driver qualification rules require a file on each driver, including medical certification and driving record (49 CFR part 391).
- Interstate carriers of general freight must carry at least $750,000 in liability coverage (49 CFR 387.9).
Evidence to preserve
- Electronic logging device and engine data.
- Forward and driver-facing camera footage.
- The driver’s qualification and training file.
- Dispatch records and delivery schedules.
- Inspection and maintenance records for the tractor and trailer.
Delivery drivers
Not every vehicle delivering Walmart orders is a Walmart truck. Many home deliveries are made by drivers in their own cars through delivery apps. In those crashes, the driver’s own policy, any coverage the delivery platform provides, and whether Walmart can be held responsible all have to be sorted out early.
After a crash
- Call 911 and get medical care.
- Photograph the truck, its trailer number and any DOT number on the door.
- Get witness contacts and the police report number.
- Do not give a recorded statement to Walmart’s claims company.
- Have a preservation demand sent for the truck’s data and video.

Common questions
Who pays if a Walmart truck hits me?
If the Walmart driver was at fault while working, Walmart is generally responsible, and Walmart Claims Services handles the claim. Your own auto coverage may also help with immediate medical bills.
How fast should I act after a Walmart truck crash?
Right away. Truck data and video can be overwritten, and a written preservation demand puts Walmart on notice to keep it.
