If the delivery was not made "on or before may 1", the company is in breech of contract. Just because the delivery van got in an accident is irrelevant. If the delivery was not made before midnight may 1, they are in breech. The family should counter-sue because they were forced to make other arrangements with another company at the last minute as a result of the company breaching the original contract.
The judge will likely dismiss both claims.
