Delivery Driver Injured Due To An Accident?
We're here to help.
ACCIDENT? INJURY? START HERE.
The more time Instacart or DoorDash delivery drivers spend on the road, the more likely they are to be in an accident. For that reason, it’s vital that you understand how to protect your interests at the scene of a crash, where your actions and words can literally make or break a lawsuit or insurance claim down the road. Delivery drivers who try to handle these claims on their own may end up receiveing far less than what they should.
DELIVERY DRIVERS CAN RECOVER MONEY FOR:- Costs of Medical Treatment
- Lost Wages
- Pain and Suffering
- Loss of Normal Life
- Disability Accomodations
- Ambulance Services
- Emotional Distress
- Disfigurement
- Loss of Property
The Process
Every driver has a legal duty to drive safely. When a driver breaches that duty and injures someone, the injured person can file a lawsuit and/or an insurance claim against the driver. Said another way, if another driver hits you, you can sue him/his insurance company for your injuries and losses. Generally speaking, insurance companies will defend the at-fault driver and pay all legal costs, attorney’s fees, and any verdicts or settlements levied against him. Insurance companies do not represent or work for the injured person. The injured person needs to hire their own attorneys to fight for their interests.
Injured? You Need a Lawyer
If you’re injured in an accident, you’ll need to decide whether to retain an attorney to make the insurance claim/file the lawsuit against the at-fault driver (and company). As mentioned above insurance companies do not represent or work for the injured person. They also routinely offer unrepresented people less money than people who hire lawyers LegalRideshare concentrates in these types of injury claims, and we’ve won millions of dollars for our clients.
Time Is Money
Waiting to talk with an attorney can be the difference between recovering money for your losses and medical bills or recovering nothing at all. Insurance companies look for ways to devalue and/or deny your claim. They will hold gaps in treatment against you. They will hold seeing “the wrong doctor” against you. They will claim you were not injured or your injuries were preexisting. LegalRideshare always offers free consultations and we’re happy to guide you in the right direction. There’s no reason to delay, as missteps can kill your claim.
