Complex Liability Issues in Shipt Accidents
Shipt accident cases present challenges that set them apart from typical car accident claims.
Unlike traditional employer-employee arrangements, Shipt classifies its drivers as independent contractors, which the company often uses as a shield against liability.
This classification creates a tangled situation where you may need to pursue claims against the individual driver, the driver’s personal insurance, Shipt’s corporate insurance policy, or some combination of all three.
Determining which parties bear responsibility requires a thorough investigation into the driver’s status at the time of the crash, whether they were actively completing a delivery, and what insurance coverage applies to the situation.
Monge & Associates can cut through these complexities and identify every available source of compensation.
Our firm will gather evidence from the accident scene, obtain driver records and app data, review all applicable insurance policies, and build a comprehensive claim that holds every responsible party accountable.
Common Causes of Shipt Accidents in Cincinnati
Shipt drivers face pressures and distractions that significantly increase the risk of an accident.
Some of the most common factors contributing to these collisions include:
- Constant delivery time pressure that encourages speeding and risky decision-making
- Frequent interactions with the Shipt app for navigation, order updates, and customer communication while behind the wheel
- Unfamiliarity with Cincinnati neighborhoods, leading to sudden lane changes, unexpected turns, and other dangerous maneuvers
- Double-parking or making unsafe stops in traffic lanes to complete grocery pickups and deliveries
- Driver fatigue from working excessive hours in a single day
- Lack of commercial driving training, leaving many Shipt drivers unprepared for the demands of constant delivery work
Our attorneys know how to investigate these factors and use them to build a compelling case on your behalf.
We work with accident reconstruction experts and gather critical evidence—such as delivery logs, app activity records, and driver history—to demonstrate exactly how negligence caused your injuries.
Compensation Available for Shipt Accident Victims
If you have been injured in a Shipt delivery accident, you are entitled to recover compensation for the full scope of your losses.
Medical expenses often form the foundation of your claim, including emergency treatment, surgeries, hospital stays, medication, physical therapy, and any future care your injuries will require.
You can also pursue compensation for property damage to your vehicle and personal belongings, lost wages if your injuries have kept you from working, and diminished earning capacity if you are unable to return to your previous occupation.
Additionally, you can recover pain and suffering damages, which account for the physical discomfort and emotional toll the accident has taken on your life.
The Cincinnati Shipt accident lawyers at Monge & Associates will document every aspect of your losses, from medical bills and lost income to the ways your injuries have affected your daily life and well-being.
Leveraging this evidence, we negotiate aggressively with insurance companies and defense attorneys to pursue the full compensation you are owed.
You can focus on healing while we handle the legal fight.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Ohio?
Ohio law generally gives you two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. While this may seem like plenty of time, building a strong case takes longer than most people expect. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your right to compensation.
Will insurance talk to me?
Insurance companies will almost certainly reach out to you after an accident, but their goal is to protect their bottom line—not to help you. You are under no obligation to provide a recorded statement, and it’s wise to speak with an attorney before engaging with an insurance representative.
How much is my Shipt accident case worth?
Every case is different, and the value of your claim depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, the impact on your daily life and ability to work, and the strength of the evidence supporting your case. An attorney can evaluate your situation and provide a realistic assessment of what your claim may be worth
Do you handle cases on contingency?
Yes. We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not pay any attorney fees unless we successfully recover compensation for you. This arrangement makes quality legal representation accessible regardless of your current financial situation.
