Phoenix, AZ Postmates Accident Lawyer

The massive popularity of food delivery services over recent years is no secret, although the number of different apps and websites that compete to deliver food may be a surprise to some people. While DoorDash is possibly the most well-known food delivery service, Postmates is another that’s still available and that drivers can sign up to work for, even though it’s been acquired by Uber.

The rise in the use of delivery services in general has resulted in an increase in accidents involving drivers making deliveries for the service, and that’s true of Postmates accidents just as it’s true of Instacart accidents or Amazon delivery truck crashes. Drivers for this service are often under enormous pressure to get orders delivered within a certain amount of time, which can lead to accidents on the road between Postmates delivery vehicles and other drivers or pedestrians.

Postmates offers limited insurance protection to its drivers and only covers accidents while the driver is on their way to delivering an order. This extremely basic protection may leave you with a complex legal situation if you’re involved in a Postmates accident. If you or a loved one is ever injured in an accident with a driver contracted with Postmates, you might need the assistance of a Postmates accident lawyer to work out the complexities of the situation.

At Phillips Law Group, we fight for motor vehicle accident victims every day. If you or someone you love has been injured in a crash with a Postmates driver, the victim may be entitled to compensation for the injuries and damages they have sustained in the accident.

More Information About Postmates Accidents

Who Owns Postmates?

Uber announced that it was purchasing Postmates for $2.65 billion in 2020. Previously, both Uber Eats and Postmates had a much smaller share of the food delivery market than other services like DoorDash, but the merger increased Uber/Uber Eats’ market share and influence. 

Postmates remains a separate app and users can link their Uber accounts to Postmates. However, when drivers sign up to deliver with Postmates, they get access to delivery opportunities through Uber as well.

Common Injuries from a Postmates Accident

A victim can sustain the same sort of injuries from a Postmates accident as that might from any car accident. Those injuries can include but are not limited to:

• Head trauma – including severe concussions and traumatic brain injury
• Loss of limbs
• Nerve damage
• Facial injuries
• Disfigurement
• Burns
• Psychological injuries – including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and more
• Orthopedic injuries – including whiplash, spinal cord injuries, sprains, strains, and more
• Ear trauma – including tinnitus and hearing loss
• Torn ligaments
• Broken bones and fractures 
• Catastrophic injuries – including paralysis or blindness 

If you have been involved in an accident with a Postmates driver or involving another food delivery vehicle, you could be entitled to compensation for injuries you suffered during the crash.

Damages Available to Victims of Postmates Delivery Accidents

A Postmates delivery accident is just as serious as any other motor vehicle crash and can involve much more complicated legal intricacies due to the numerous auto insurance policies involved and the nature of independent contracting work. 

A victim of a Postmates delivery crash may suffer severe injuries and, in some cases, a Postmates accident could even result in death. A personal injury lawyer can identify your damages and pursue compensation from anyone involved in a Postmates accident who caused the victim harm.

A Postmates accident attorney may help you recover compensation for:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Loss of future earning potential
• Rehabilitation
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Disfigurement
• Wrongful death
• Property loss
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• …and more

I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

Erika A.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community.
