Hit by an App-Based Driver?

When an app-based driver causes a crash, the most important insurance question may be what the driver was doing inside the platform at that exact moment. Fusco Law investigates app status, trip activity, personal coverage, and company policies to identify every potential source of recovery.

Building the Case From the First Call

Instacart, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Uber, Lyft, and similar platforms operate under different agreements and insurance structures. Coverage can change depending on whether a driver was offline, waiting for a request, traveling to a pickup, transporting an order, or carrying a passenger.

The labels used by a platform do not necessarily end the legal analysis. The facts surrounding control, work activity, insurance, and the relationship among the driver, platform, restaurant, retailer, and delivery customer can matter.

Gig Economy Accidents FAQs

01

Does DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Instacart provide insurance?

Some platforms provide certain coverage for qualifying activity, but terms, limits, exclusions, and app-status requirements differ. The driver's personal policy and other coverage must also be reviewed.

02

What if the driver says the app was off?

That statement should be tested against app records, order history, GPS data, phone evidence, and platform communications. Preserving those records early can be critical.

03

Can I make a claim if I was a passenger or delivery customer?

Potentially. Passengers, other motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and others injured by negligent app-based driving may have claims, depending on fault and available insurance.

The insurance company has a team. You should too.
