Auto Collisions Involving Food Delivery Drivers

Many people visit New Orleans, Louisiana, every year. Between residents and tourists, the city is often bustling with hungry people. To keep up with the demand, more and more restaurants are participating in delivery programs.

Some restaurants hire their own delivery drivers while other restaurants utilize delivery services through companies like DoorDash, GrubHub, Postmates, and Uber Eats.

Delivery drivers are often expected to meet high customer demand and tight deadlines while navigating heavy New Orleans traffic. Consequently, some delivery drivers speed, run red lights, or make other unsafe choices behind the wheel.

Some other common causes of accidents involving delivery drivers involve:

  • Failure to obey Louisiana traffic laws
  • Driving too fast for poor weather conditions
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Fatigued driving
  • Distracted driving, such as using the delivery app while driving
  • Road defects, such as potholes or insufficient road signs
  • Inadequate vehicle maintenance
  • Vehicle manufacturing or design defects
  • Delivery company’s failure to hire qualified drivers

Compensation for Medical Bills After a Delivery Car Crash

If you were hurt in a car accident involving a delivery driver, you might have experienced injuries that had a profound impact on your life. Food delivery accidents can result in:

  • Lacerations
  • Fracture
  • Head trauma
  • Neck injuries
  • Back injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Internal organ damage
  • Nerve damage
  • Strains and sprains
  • Broken ribs

Car accident injuries often require significant medical intervention. You may have needed immediate medical care after your accident and ongoing doctor appointments or rehabilitative care.

Some car accident injuries are so severe that the victim must stay in a hospital or rehabilitation facility for weeks or months after the accident. The costs incurred by medical care can be overwhelming. Fortunately, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your medical expenses through a personal injury claim or lawsuit.

What You Need to Prove to Recover Compensation

Although personal injury cases vary, most car accident cases are based on the concept of negligence. For example, a delivery driver may be considered negligent if they acted with disregard for the safety of other motorists, passengers, and pedestrians.

A manufacturing company might be negligent if they allowed vehicles with manufacturing defects to be sold to customers. However, proving that the delivery driver or other at-fault party acted negligently is not enough to successfully recover compensation through a personal injury case. Therefore, you and your attorney must show that:

  • The defendant, meaning the party against whom you are bringing the claim or lawsuit, had a duty of care, such as a duty to drive safely or hire competent drivers.
  • The defendant failed to uphold their duty.
  • You sustained injuries that the defendant’s breach of duty caused.
  • Your injuries caused medical bills and other damages.

A New Orleans food delivery car accident lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can help you bring a strong case against a negligent party. Call us at (504) 777-7777 for a free case assessment.

Car Accident Settlement Values Vary Based on Several Factors

The amount of financial compensation that you may be able to recover through a personal injury claim or lawsuit will depend on several factors, including:

  • The types of injuries you suffered
  • The impact your injuries have on your ability to work
  • How long it will take to recover from your injuries
  • Whether permanent disability or disfigurement resulted from your injuries
  • The other costs you sustained as a result of the accident
  • Your degree of fault for the accident

Shared Fault for a Food Delivery Accident

Car accidents are often caused by a complex combination of factors. Sometimes, an injured person’s own actions add to the severity of the accident. You may wonder if you can still bring a personal injury claim or lawsuit for an accident if you share fault for the collision.

Louisiana follows a legal doctrine referred to as “pure comparative negligence” under CC Art. 2323. This means that an injured person’s negligence does not automatically prevent them from recovering compensation. If you share fault for the accident, you may still have a right to partial damages.

Compensable Damages in a Food Delivery Accident

A personal injury claim or lawsuit payout is intended to compensate an injured person for the financial and non-financial losses stemming from the accident. You may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Past, present, and future medical bills
  • Lost income from time missed from work
  • Impairment to your earning capacity
  • Vehicle damage and other property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish

Damages in a Fatal Car Crash Involving a Delivery Driver

If your loved one died as a result of a food delivery accident, you may bring a wrongful death claim or lawsuit against the at-fault party. Damages in a Louisiana wrongful death case often include:

  • Funeral and burial charges
  • Medical bills
  • Lost earnings and work benefits
  • Lost household services
  • Damaged property
  • The decedent’s pain and suffering
  • The survivors’ loss of the decedent’s care and companionship
