DoorDash, Grubhub, Instacart & Food Delivery Accident Attorneys | Pennsylvania & Tri-State Area

The explosion of food and grocery delivery services has put millions of additional drivers on the road, many of them rushing to meet tight delivery windows while navigating unfamiliar neighborhoods using GPS apps. DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, Instacart, and similar platforms use gig-economy independent contractors who receive little to no driver training and often deliver in their personal vehicles with minimal commercial insurance. At Siddons Law Firm, our attorneys handle accident claims against food delivery drivers and the platforms that employ them. Call (610) 255-7500 for a free consultation.

Insurance Issues with Food Delivery Accidents

Food delivery accident claims involve complicated insurance questions. Most personal auto insurance policies exclude coverage for commercial delivery activities. Delivery platforms provide some commercial coverage, but it is often limited and riddled with gaps. Coverage typically depends on the driver’s status at the time of the accident — whether the app was off, the driver was waiting for an order, or actively making a delivery. Our attorneys identify all available insurance sources to maximize your recovery.

Common Food Delivery Accident Scenarios

Food delivery drivers cause accidents through distracted driving (constantly checking the delivery app for orders and navigation), double-parking and blocking traffic lanes during pickups and deliveries, illegal U-turns and sudden stops in residential areas, speeding to meet delivery time guarantees, driving in unfamiliar neighborhoods while focused on GPS, and running red lights and stop signs to maintain delivery pace.
