Injured in a Delivery Driver Crash? We Handle the Complex Claims
Food delivery is booming across New Jersey—but when an accident happens, insurance issues get complicated. Whether you were injured as a delivery app driver (Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub) or as someone hit by one, your claim isn’t handled like a typical
car crash. Delivery companies classify drivers as contractors, carry special third-party policies, and are quick to point fingers. Gonzalez, Tullio & Blache knows how to cut through the confusion and fight for your compensation.
Delivery App Insurance
How It Works
On Delivery
(From Pick-Up to Drop-Off)
Uber Eats, DoorDash, and similar companies provide up to $1 million in liability coverage for accidents caused by their on-duty drivers. This covers injuries to others (drivers, passengers, pedestrians) and property damage.
We know the exact policies in play and will investigate every available coverage—so you aren’t left relying on a driver’s minimal insurance.
Who We Help—and How
Injured as a Delivery Driver
If you’re hit while working, you may be eligible for the at-fault driver’s insurance, plus any occupational accident coverage from the delivery company. We dig into app policies, report your claim, and help you access all available benefits—even those you didn’t know existed.
Injured by a Delivery Driver
If you’re a pedestrian, cyclist, or motorist hit by a delivery driver rushing to make a delivery, we go after the company’s insurance for your full compensation. Companies won’t volunteer these policies—we make sure they pay.
Commercial Delivery
Accidents involving FedEx, UPS, or other commercial drivers may also involve large corporate insurance policies. We know how to pursue them for major injuries.
Why Fast Action Matters
Delivery companies want to minimize claims. Their apps and insurers may require quick notification, and critical evidence (like dashcam video or app logs) can disappear fast. Our attorneys immediately send preservation letters, gather all driver and delivery data, and handle every step—from initial report through negotiation or lawsuit.
Example:
A client was hit by a DoorDash driver with only minimum coverage. We proved the driver was on an active delivery, secured a
claim against DoorDash’s $1M policy, and recovered damages for our client’s medical treatment and
lost wages.
Frequently Asked Questions About Delivery Accidents
Who pays if an Uber Eats or DoorDash driver causes an accident?
The company’s insurance covers accidents during active deliveries. We hold them accountable so you’re not stuck with the bill.
Can a delivery company avoid paying because drivers are “independent contractors”?
No—insurance is there for exactly this reason. We know how to break through corporate excuses and get results.
What if I’m a driver injured on the job?
Some companies provide occupational accident insurance; you may also claim against the at-fault driver.
Do delivery app drivers get workers’ comp?
Usually not, since they’re contractors. But we explore every possible benefit or insurance route for you.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Most NJ claims must be filed within two years—don’t delay.
