Call Us atIn recent years, residents in the area have started using food delivery services such as Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub, and Postmates to get their meals. Residents enjoy the convenience and access to the many culinary options provided by these apps. However, this rise in demand has led to an increase in accidents involving delivery drivers, who are often in a rush to deliver food to customers in a timely manner. Whenever this happens, victims typically need to file an injury or property damage claim to recover compensation for accrued losses. Our experienced food delivery accident attorneys at Libbey Law Offices could help with filing a food delivery accident claim in Anchorage so you can recover financial compensation.
Determine the Cause of the Accident
Food delivery vehicle collisions often involve other road users, including vehicles, cyclists, motorcycle riders, and pedestrians, which can lead to severe injuries and property damage. Understanding how the crash with the food delivery vehicle occurred can help a plaintiff build their case and successfully file an injury claim in Anchorage.
Common causes of these collisions include a lack of driver training, distracted driving, and delivery deadlines. Some drivers lack the necessary experience to navigate their vehicles in adverse situations. They often need to check their phones during the course of their job duties, and they may need to rush to fulfill orders—particularly during surge pricing periods—leading to poor driving decisions that could result in a collision.
How do We Establish Liability for the Accident?
While investigating the cause of the accident, a lawyer collects evidence that indicates who should be held responsible. In many cases, the delivery driver is at fault. However, responsibility may also extend to the food delivery app companies if they created conditions that contributed to the crash. For example, a food app delivery company may not have properly screened driving candidates for the required experience.
Additionally, liable third parties could include:
- Bystanders
- Pedestrians
- Car manufacturers
- Other motor vehicle operators
- Local or state governments that are responsible for road design or maintenance
A food delivery accident lawyer in Anchorage will work to identify who is responsible so that a claim can be filed with that party’s insurance provider.
