Amazon Delivery Truck
Victim Named By Lawyer …
Looking Into Lawsuit
Published
The woman who was run over by an Amazon delivery truck has been identified … and, her lawyer says they’re investigating whether to sue.
Chelsey Douglas is the woman in the shocking video who was hit by the van … and her lawyer, David Ellin, says she suffered life-threatening injuries in the scary incident.
Ellin says Douglas — who is obviously still recovering from the crash with “severe injuries” — has received a ton of requests for interviews and comments … but, right now she and her family need privacy so she can heal.
Still, TMZ spoke with Ellin … who tells us it’s too soon to know when a suit might be filed because they’ve got a lot of investigating to do … but it sounds like it’s on the horizon.
“We believe she is entitled to significant compensation for what she has been through,” he tells us … and, the family is happy the suspected driver of the truck is in custody.
We shared the video with you … which shows the truck hitting a person in the crosswalk — with the driver then hopping out to check on the person after driving clear over her.
After a few seconds, the driver gets back in the truck and begins to drive away … leaving the woman — who was initially not identified by name — lying in the street.
A spokesperson for Amazon told us at the time, “This is a terrible incident and the driver in question has been suspended from delivering on our behalf. We’re working with his employer and law enforcement as they investigate.”
Chelsey has a GoFundMe set up to help pay for her medical bills … and, it sounds like the lawsuit is coming too.
We’ve reached out to Amazon on Ellin’s new comments pertaining to Chelsey … so far, no word back.
