Over $2 Billion* Recovered for Our Clients!
Due to the popularity of service apps like DoorDash, more and more delivery drivers are on the road than ever before. Because many of these drivers are forced to rush around town to complete their orders, the risk of being in a serious accident has dramatically increased.
Accidents involving DoorDash drivers are typically caused by:
- Speeding or rushing deliveries
- Distracted driving like using a GPS or other phone apps
- Sloppy or fatigued driving
How Do DoorDash Accidents Differ from Other Car Accidents?
Delivery companies are usually responsible for the driver while they are on the job. Claims are typically filed against the company or driver’s commercial policy. If a delivery company fails to complete a background check for their driver, you might have a claim for negligent hiring. Our lawyers can help you evaluate what filing option best fits your situation.
Common DoorDash Accident Injuries
- Back & Neck Injury
- Concussion
- Facial Damage
- Hand & Wrist Injury
- Hearing & Ear Damage
- Knee & Ankle Injury
- Nerve Damage
- Traumatic Brain Injury
What Should I Do if I’m Injured by a DoorDash Driver?
If you are involved in a serious accident with a delivery driver, you should:
- Call 911 & report the accident
- Provide an accurate accident report to police
- Take photos of your injury and any other damage caused by the accident
- Seek medical care
- Copy all personal or company insurance policies for the driver
- File a personal injury claim with the insurers
What Should I Do if I Was Involved in a DoorDash Hit and Run?
If you have any knowledge about what the vehicle looked like, you should report that information to the police. Any distinguishing features are more helpful in this instance than your typical hit and run accident, because the number of DoorDash vehicles is relatively limited. Consider any video footage that may have been captured by nearby businesses or door cams, and include this on the police report. It could take some time to identify the vehicle and driver which struck you, so don’t lose hope.
How Can an Attorney Help
If you’re dealing with the aftermath of a DoorDash vehicle accident, a seasoned attorney can assist in many ways. In addition to handling the often-complicated insurance and liability issues that accompany DoorDash cases, an accident attorney can help you prove driver negligence and ensure you get the compensation you’re entitled to.
Lost Wages
Were you injured or unable to work as a direct result of the DoorDash accident? If so, you may be entitled to compensation to help recoup lost wages.
Medical Bills
DoorDash accidents that lead to injuries can also lead to high medical bills. Your attorney can help prove the driver was negligent, and the delivery company may be responsible for paying your medical costs.
Pain and Suffering
Car accidents can cause both physical and emotional pain. You may need time to recover, and a skilled attorney can assist with filing a claim for pain and suffering.
