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
