Who Can I Sue If I Was Injured While Making An Instacart Delivery?

Instacart has become a great resource for busy consumers who do not wish to invest an hour or more in shopping for their groceries each week. The service is also a helpful method to eliminate impulse purchases and keep your food budget as reasonable as possible. Finally, it provides a valuable service for the elderly and others who are unable to walk through the store or have no means of transportation to get to and from the stop for food. From the opposite side of the equation, Instacart offers workers flexible jobs that can be done on their schedules. These positions also provide the ability to work as often or seldom as you like and make a great second income for households that are finding it difficult to keep up with bills or the ever increasing cost of living.

Worker’s Compensation Is A Good Option For A Workplace Injury Victim To Get Help
The California worker’s compensation program is an insurance coverage that all employers in the state are legally obligated to participate in and pay the cost to cover all employees. The program was created to assist workers who are hurt on the job and face mounting medical expenses and other losses because of the harm they sustained while doing their regular jobs. To receive benefits from the program, you must open a claim within 30 days of the injury incident. If you wait longer than the allotted time period, your claim will be immediately denied, and you will not get any of the benefits offered by the program, which include:

• Up to $1M in medical care coverage for the injuries caused by a workplace accident
• Payment to you of up to 66% of your regular weekly income if you are unable to work because of workplace injuries
• Long-term disability payments if the injuries result in temporary or permanent disability and a diminished earning potential
• Free vocational training if the injuries leave you physically incapable of returning to your job at Instacart

Don’t hesitate to get in touch with Normandie Law Firm if you are unable to open a worker’s comp claim or your employer is trying to prevent you from using this resource to cover the cost of your medical care and other losses. Our staff is ready to help at any hour of the day or night.

Who Could Be Responsible For My Instacart Delivery Injuries?
While some injury incidents are unpreventable and are genuine accidents, not all fall into this category. Some injury incidents are caused when a property owner or another person fails to act responsibly and act in a manner that keeps others safe from harm. For example, a property owner might choose to ignore reports that their sidewalk or steps are damaged and unsafe. Or a dog owner might decide they do not need to invest in a larger fence that will keep their growing dog from getting out of the yard and biting someone making an Instacart delivery. In these cases, anyone who suffers an injury because of these poor choices of another person could have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit.

Instacart delivery injuries could also be the responsibility of an apartment complex owner or management company, a contractor working at the property, a resident, or a guest to the property. If you suffered harm on a city sidewalk, you might have reason to sue the town or city liable for the care of the sidewalk or surrounding landscape that could have caused your injuries. The point is that there could be a long list of parties or individuals liable for the harm you sustained. But the good news is that all you need to do is contact Normandie Law Firm, and our staff will sort out the entire legal matter for you while you focus on your healing and recovery.

How Much Is The Average Instacart Delivery Personal Injury Lawsuit Worth?
It is vital for all personal injury victims to understand how the legal system determines the amount of compensation sought by a lawsuit and how the judicial system awards the compensation. There are no predetermined compensation amounts for any injury or incident. Instead, each case is carefully evaluated, and the compensation is based on the actual losses and expenses incurred by the victim due to the harm they sustained. You will work with your exceptional Normandie Law Firm legal team to compile all of the documentation for your allowable expenses, which typically include but are not necessarily limited to:

• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the Instacart delivery injury incident
• The cost of all current and projected future medical expenses related to the injuries sustained while delivering for Instacart
• Your legal expenses and fees related to preparing, filing, and litigating your personal injury lawsuit
• Your lost income if the harm you suffered while delivering for Instacart prevents you from working until you are fully healed

It is also crucial to understand that even if you use the benefits provided by worker’s compensation, you can seek added compensation that is not covered under worker’s comp. But you cannot seek payment for any items that are paid for by your worker’s compensation benefits. Please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today to discuss the compensation you could be owed for the harm you suffered due to an injury accident while delivering for Instacart.

How Long Do I Have To Take Action?
As previously mentioned, you have 30 days to open a worker’s compensation claim to get help covering your medical expenses and other losses. However, if you wait longer than 30 days to attempt to open the claim, it is likely to be immediately denied, and you will get benefits from the program. If you decide to file a lawsuit, the court allows you two years from the date of the injury incident to have the claim filed. If the case is not filed with the court within the allotted two years, you lose the right to ever seek compensation for the losses and expenses created by that particular injury incident. It is also critical to understand that there are minimal exceptions that would allow you to have added time to file your claim once the time limit has passed. Please do not hesitate to contact Normandie Law Firm today to discuss the facts of your injury incident and how long you have to take action to secure compensation or benefits to cover those expenses.
