Why You Need a Specialized Instacart Accident Attorney
Instacart accidents differ from other kinds of accidents with delivery drivers, so you need an attorney who understands the specific issues that arise in these claims. Specifically:
- Instacart drivers are classified as independent contractors, so they are not employees of the company. This means you typically cannot use vicarious liability rules to hold these drivers accountable for harming you.
- Unlike some other apps that pay people to drive for them, like Uber, Instacart does not typically provide third-party liability insurance coverage. This means you’ll need to identify other sources of insurance to pay for losses. Monge & Associates attorneys have the knowledge and experience to help you identify all defendants who could be to blame.
- Instacart accident lawyers know the types of evidence you need to make a strong claim, and we’ll help you to gather the information you need to maximize your chances of winning your case. This could include, for example, records from app use that show the driver was distracted or fatigued due to driving for Instacart for too many hours.
Monge & Associates attorneys understand all of these issues, as well as other technicalities that are specific to Instacart accident claims. We can put that knowledge to work for you.
