Food Delivery Service Accidents & Car Sharing Accidents

Drivers who deliver food have become increasingly commonplace, especially since the pandemic. Since most companies like Uber Eats, DoorDash, Postmates and others hire their drivers as independent contractors, the ability to pursue a claim for the injuries, lost wages, pain and suffering and other damages you suffered as a result of the carelessness of the food delivery driver can be complicated.

While the accident itself may be clear cut – the delivery driver was at fault and you suffered injuries as a result, finding appropriate coverage can be problematic.

Under the circumstances, it’s important to consult with an experienced and knowledgeable Uber Eats accident lawyer or DoorDash accident attorney to help assess your claim and who may be responsible for it.

The latter details are important since the different food delivery service companies provide their drivers with different protections. Uber Eats provides coverage similar to the coverage it provides its Uber drivers; that is, up to $1 million in liability coverage for accidents that occur while making a delivery or en route to pick up a delivery, but more limited coverage when the driver is just available or waiting for a delivery request.

Dashers by contrast must carry their own primary insurance with minimum limits that DoorDash supplements when the driver is on an actual delivery (which covers the time from when the delivery request was accepted until the order is marked delivered). Another factor is that many personal automobile policies now specifically exclude coverage for accidents that happen if the insured was using his car to make deliveries, though they may be able to obtain special coverage for delivery work.
