What Does a Food Delivery Company’s Insurance Policy Cover in a Food Delivery Accident?
Food delivery services, such as DoorDash and Postmates, offer convenience to customers who prefer to have food delivered rather than having to go pick it up themselves. Customers are given up-to-date information on the current status of their order through the food delivery app. This gives them an idea of when the order will be picked up and dropped off. While customers are reaping off the benefits that food delivery companies offer, food delivery drivers are often put in a high pressure situation to make sure that all customers are satisfied with their services. In order to meet this goal, food delivery drivers will have to arrive before or exactly at a customer’s address according to the estimated deadline of when the order is expected to be delivered. If a food delivery driver finds themself falling behind on time, they may feel compelled to commit negligent actions, such as speeding, to avoid facing consequences for not meeting a customer's expectations. However, this form of recklessness could risk the lives of many, such as other motorists, pedestrians, or bicyclists. If you were injured in a food delivery accident due to the negligence of a food delivery driver, you may be entitled to file a personal injury claim against them.

- $1 million of liability coverage per incident. Uber holds a commercial insurance policy with $1 million of coverage per incident. Drivers’ liability to third parties is covered from the moment a driver accepts the request to deliver meals or goods to the time the delivery is complete.
- Contingent comprehensive and collision insurance. If a delivery partner holds personal comprehensive and collision insurance, this policy covers physical damage that occurs to the vehicle during a trip up to the actual cash value of the vehicle, for any reason, with a $1,000 deductible.
- $50,000/$100,000/$25,000 of coverage between trips. During the time that a ride-sharing partner is available but between deliveries, many personal auto insurance policies will provide coverage (this is not true). However, if the driver does not have applicable coverage, they have a policy that covers the driver’s liability for bodily injury up to $50,000/$100,000/$25,000 (per individual/accident/property damage).
