DoorDash: Growth, Convenience—and Risk
Apps like DoorDash, Postmates, and Grubhub exploded in popularity, especially during and after the pandemic. From food to groceries, users enjoy fast service with just a few taps. As of 2024, DoorDash holds over 60% of the U.S. food delivery market, with:
- $10.72 billion in revenue
- Over 2.5 billion orders completed
- Tens of thousands of active delivery drivers
But with that success comes increased road activity—and unfortunately, increased risk. The rise in delivery drivers has led to more accidents, and many injured victims don’t know where to turn. Whether you’re a driver, rider, or bystander, Hillstone Law is here to help.
What Causes a DoorDash Accident?
DoorDash accidents can occur in many scenarios:
- A DoorDash driver hits another car
- A pedestrian is struck by a delivery driver
- A cyclist or motorcyclist is hit
- A passenger in another vehicle is injured
These accidents often result from:
- Distracted driving (checking the app)
- Speeding to complete deliveries faster
- Driving in unfamiliar neighborhoods
- Poor vehicle maintenance
- Fatigue from long delivery shifts
If you were injured in any of these situations, our team can help you investigate what happened and who is responsible.
Who’s Liable After a DoorDash Crash?
Liability in DoorDash-related accidents isn’t always clear. Depending on the case, one or more parties could be responsible:
- The DoorDash driver
- Another at-fault driver
- DoorDash itself (in limited cases)
- A property owner (e.g., unsafe delivery locations)
At Hillstone Law, we conduct thorough investigations to determine fault and build a strong claim. If a hazardous property condition contributed to your injury, we may also pursue claims against the property owner.
Understanding DoorDash Insurance Coverage
DoorDash provides up to $1 million in commercial auto insurance for damages caused during active deliveries. However, this coverage only applies:
- While the driver is on an active delivery
- To third parties—not the DoorDash driver
- If the driver has their own valid personal insurance
DoorDash drivers are independent contractors and often use their own cars, bikes, or scooters. These distinctions matter—and knowing how to navigate them can mean the difference between a denied and a successful claim.
