How Instacart Accidents Happen

Instacart drivers face unique pressures that can lead to dangerous driving behaviors, including:

• Distracted driving from checking the app, reviewing orders, or using GPS while behind the wheel
• Speeding or reckless driving to meet tight delivery windows and maximize earnings
• Driver fatigue from working long shifts or juggling multiple gig platforms
• Poor vehicle maintenance, as many gig workers use personal cars that may not be properly serviced

Common Injuries in Instacart Delivery Accidents

Victims of Instacart delivery accidents can suffer serious injuries, such as:

• Whiplash, broken bones, and soft tissue damage
• Traumatic brain injuries and concussions
• Spinal cord injuries that result in paralysis
• Fatalities that lead to wrongful death claims

Who Is Liable in an Instacart Accident?

Determining who’s responsible after an Instacart-related crash can be complicated.

The driver may be liable if their negligence caused the accident.

Instacart carries limited insurance coverage that may apply depending on whether the driver was actively working at the time.

Other motorists or third parties could also share fault, depending on the circumstances.

Your attorney will conduct a thorough investigation to find out who’s responsible for your damages.

What Compensation May Be Available?

If you’ve been injured in an Instacart accident, you may be entitled to recover:

• Medical expenses, including emergency care, surgery, and ongoing treatment
• Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering, or the physical and emotional trauma you endured
• Property damage to your vehicle
• Wrongful death damages if you’ve lost a loved one
