INSTACART DELIVERY DRIVER ACCIDENTS IN COLORADO
When an Instacart shopper is involved in a car accident in Denver, Aurora, or any car accident in Colorado, the shopper and others involved may not be sure how to handle the accident claim. Instacart drivers often think that Instacart will cover delivery driver accidents but find out the company wants nothing to do with the claim and will ban the driver from the app, leaving it up to the driver to pay for damages.
For injury victims, they may struggle to figure out who is responsible for their medical bills. For an Instacart driver, they may find themselves personally liable for damages because Instacart does not want to pay for damages, and their insurance company won’t cover the damages. Even if Instacart claims no responsibility, your Denver personal injury lawyer may be able to make sure you are compensated for your losses.
If you are an Instacart driver injured in an accident or someone hit by an Instacart driver on delivery, talk to your Denver accident attorney for help getting compensation.
IS INSTACART LIABLE AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT?
One of the ways that Instacart and other delivery companies try and avoid liability is by calling their drivers “Independent Contractor Defined” However, in Colorado, there are ways around that. You will want to contact a car accident lawyer at Matlin Injury Law for more information and for guidance on how to hold Instacart liable.
Have you been involved in a crash with a company vehicle? Who is Responsible For Damages in a Company Car Accident?
One of the reasons that Instacart and other delivery service companies limit requirements is to maintain an independent contractor relationship with drivers. Instacart wants to get rid of any suggestion their drivers are “employees,” because they would be responsible for the driver’s actions. Unfortunately for drivers, this also leaves them with the impression that their personal vehicle insurance is enough to cover an accident, which is simply not the case.
Again, car crash lawyers at Matlin Injury Law in Colorado can assist throughout the entire process.
INSTACART ACCIDENT INSURANCE
As part of the contract drivers make with Instacart, drivers are agreeing that they are, “in lawful possession of all equipment, insurance, and licenses necessary to perform the shopping and/or delivery services.”
However, most personal auto policies, if not all, Auto insurance basics—understanding your coverage, and not commercial, delivery, or driving for-hire. Drivers may need specific commercial or add-on insurance that covers driving for app-based work like Instacart.
If you do not have the necessary insurance and get into an accident, your insurance company may deny your claim.
This leaves a lot of Instacart drivers holding the bag when it comes to car repairs, medical bills, and other losses. Their insurance won’t cover the accident and neither will Instacart. Without insurance, the driver may be personally liable for damages.

SHOULD I REPORT DELIVERY DRIVER ACCIDENTS?
Under Colorado law, drivers are required to report any accident. Even if no one was injured in the accident or the other driver does not want to file a claim, drivers have to report the accident to law enforcement or the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles. Drivers are also required by their insurance companies to report any accident. Failing to report an accident can be costly.
The insurance company can still find out that you were involved in a delivery even if you never told them. The other parties in an accident may report the other driver mentioned a food delivery or had delivery bags in their vehicle. If the accident involves a lot of damage, the insurance company may do more research to find out if the driver was signed up for a delivery service.
