No Fees Unless We Win
Hit by an Instacart Driver? Don’t Let Them Hide Behind “Independent Contractor” Excuses
Understanding Instacart Accidents in Atlanta
Instacart delivery accidents occur when shoppers—the independent contractors who fulfill orders—cause collisions while driving to stores, shopping, or delivering items to customers.
These accidents can involve other motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, or even customers at their own homes.
Atlanta is a difficult city to navigate for delivery drivers, with congested corridors and busy highways that create high-pressure driving conditions.
Residential areas throughout Atlanta also see heavy delivery traffic, which can be risky. Instacart shoppers often navigate unfamiliar neighborhoods while checking their phones for order updates and delivery instructions.
Why Choose Monge & Associates
- Our attorneys have spent over three decades handling complex accident cases involving corporate defendants and multiple insurance policies—exactly the kind of tangled liability issues that arise when Instacart drivers are involved.
- We operate on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing upfront and owe us no legal fees unless we recover compensation for you. This arrangement allows you to focus on healing rather than worrying about legal costs.
- If you come to us with an existing settlement offer and we do not secure a higher amount, we won’t charge you anything for our services—that’s how confident we are in our ability to maximize your recovery.
Why You Need a Specialized Instacart Accident Attorney
Accidents involving Instacart drivers present legal complications you won’t encounter in most car crashes.
Because Instacart classifies its shoppers as independent contractors rather than employees, the company may argue it bears no responsibility for a driver’s actions.
Insurance issues add another layer of difficulty. Instacart maintains liability coverage for its shoppers, but this coverage varies depending on whether the driver was actively shopping, delivering, or traveling between orders.
You may find yourself dealing with the driver’s personal auto insurance, Instacart’s commercial policy, and potentially other third-party coverage.
An Atlanta Instacart accident attorney can cut through these disputes and identify every available source of compensation.
Without experienced legal representation, you risk accepting a settlement that covers only a fraction of your actual losses while the responsible parties avoid accountability.
Common Injuries from Instacart Delivery Accidents in Atlanta
Victims of delivery driver accidents frequently suffer serious injuries that require extensive medical care:
- Whiplash and other soft tissue injuries to the neck and back
- Broken bones and fractures requiring surgery or extended immobilization
- Traumatic brain injuries ranging from concussions to severe cognitive impairment
- Spinal cord damage that may result in partial or complete paralysis
- Internal organ injuries that may not be immediately obvious
- Anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress following the accident
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
If an Instacart driver caused your accident, you may be able to recover compensation for the full scope of your losses.
This includes payment for all medical expenses: emergency treatment, surgeries, hospital stays, physical therapy, and any ongoing care you will need in the future.
You can seek reimbursement for wages lost while recovering and compensation for any permanent reduction in your earning capacity.
Additionally, you can pursue damages for pain and suffering, which accounts for the physical discomfort and emotional distress caused by your injuries.
You may also recover costs associated with repairing or replacing your vehicle and any other property damaged in the collision.

Georgia Laws That Affect Your Instacart Accident Claim
If you plan on filing an Instacart accident claim in Atlanta, there are a few state-specific laws that you should know:
- Georgia imposes a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury claims, meaning you must file your lawsuit within two years of the accident date or risk losing your right to compensation entirely.
- The state also follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can recover damages as long as you are less than 50 percent responsible for the accident, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
- Georgia requires all drivers to carry minimum liability coverage of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident, but these amounts rarely cover serious injuries. Instacart’s commercial policy may provide additional coverage, making it essential to have an attorney who can identify all applicable insurance sources.
