What You Should Know About Worker’s Compensation
All workers in the state are covered by a program called worker’s compensation, which is paid for by their employer. Participation in the program is mandatory for employers and assists any worker who is hurt while on the job. To use the benefits offered by the program, you will need to open a claim within 30 days of the injury incident and provide information about the incident, your employer, and other basic information. When you meet the criteria for this program, you can receive up to $1M in medical care benefits, long-term disability payments for severe harm, up to 66% of your regular weekly income to compensate for your lost income, and vocational training if your injuries prevent you from ever returning to work for Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, or Grub Hub.

You must also understand that in most cases because you were hurt while working for Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, Or Grub Hub, you are not permitted to file a personal injury lawsuit against your employer. That restriction holds true in all cases except those involving the employer’s gross negligence, which demonstrates a lack of concern for employee safety. To learn more about using your worker’s comp benefits after a workplace injury, please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today.

Who Could Be Responsible For My Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, Or Grub Hub Injuries?
While worker’s comp does offer some assistance in covering the costs incurred due to a workplace injury, there are many expenses it does not cover. In these cases, the injury victim typically wants to determine who is liable for the harm and costs they suffered. While this is a simple question, the answer can be very complex. Many parties could be responsible for the injury incident partially or completely. In most cases, the issue that caused the harm is related to the property where you were making the delivery. If the harm was related to a safety hazard at the house, apartment building, or hotel where you were delivering food, there is a possibility that the owner could be held accountable for the injuries if they failed to meet their duty of care as defined in premises liability law.

Other parties that could share in the liability for your injuries include contractors who were working at the property, a tenant of the property, the city, or a guest to the property. While it sounds very complicated to sort out, please know that you only need to contact Normandie Law Firm to ask, “Who can I sue if I was hurt while delivering for Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, or Grub Hub?” Our legal experts will handle everything else so that you can focus on healing and making a complete recovery from the harm you suffered while on the job working for Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, or Grub Hub.

How Much Is The Average Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, Or Grub Hub Delivery Person Injury Lawsuit Worth?
It is critical you understand that each lawsuit is evaluated, and the compensation amount awarded by the judicial system is based on the actual losses and expenses incurred by the victim. There are no predetermined compensation amounts for certain injuries or incidents. Working closely with your Normandie Law Firm legal team, you will compile all the documents to confirm the allowable expenses you suffered. These items will typically include but are not always limited to:

• All current and future medical expenses related to the treatment and rehabilitation of the injuries suffered when delivering for Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, or Grub Hub
• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the workplace injury incident
• Your legal fees to prepare, file, and litigate your personal injury lawsuit
• Any lost wages if the harm you suffered prevented you from returning to your regular job at Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, or Grub Hub until you were fully healed

It is crucial you understand that any of the items for which you seek compensation must only be paid or reimbursed to you once. So, you will not be permitted to use the medical care coverage from the worker’s comp program to cover the cost of your care and then sue another party for the dollar amount of those medical expenses. However, you can file a personal injury lawsuit against the liable party for any costs not covered by another resource, such as worker’s comp. Therefore, you can sue for any lost wages in excess of the amount paid by worker’s compensation and any other expenses that were not part of the benefits you received from the program. Please get in touch with Normandie Law Firm today to discuss the facts of your claim and how you wish to seek compensation for the losses and expenses you suffered while you were hurt while delivering for Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, or Grub Hub.

How Long Do I Have To File A Lawsuit?
Victims of personal injuries are given two years from the date of their injury incident to file a lawsuit with the court. This time limit is strictly enforced, and once it expires, you will no longer have the right to seek compensation for the losses and expenses caused by this incident via a lawsuit. It is also vital you understand that there are minimal exceptions that would provide additional time to file a claim once the time limit has expired. Please contact Normandie Law Firm at your earliest convenience to ensure you do not miss this vital opportunity to seek and secure the compensation that is owed to you for your injuries while delivering for Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, or Grub Hub.
