Worker’s Comp Is A Fast And Simple Solution For Medical Expenses
When you get hurt on the job delivering for Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, or Grub Hub, you should understand that workers comp will cover the cost of any essential medical treatment for those injuries. The program covers all workers in the state and is paid for by their employers. The only requirement to receive benefits is that you suffered the injuries while working at your regular job. This program will cover up to $1M in medical expenses per workplace injury and can also be used to cover part of your lost income if you cannot work during your recovery period. Finally, it does not impact your ability to file a lawsuit against anyone whose negligence caused or contributed to the injuries you suffered while delivering for Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, or Grub Hub.

All property owners must comply with premises liability laws. These were created to ensure the safety of guests at all public and private properties. In addition, they must follow appropriate steps to correct or eliminate any safety hazards that are discovered on the property or reported to them or their staff by a guest. If the staff or owner of a property fails to take the required steps to eliminate a hazard in a reasonable amount of time, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. In addition, when that negligence is found to have caused or contributed to the harm of a visitor, the property owner can be held financially liable for the victim’s losses and expenses.

For example, if you were making a delivery to an apartment building and fell in a hallway because the lights were not functioning, you could have grounds for a lawsuit. If you feel that staff negligence and a lack of duty of care caused or contributed to your Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, or Grub Hub delivery injury incident, please reach out to Kenmore Law Group today. Our staff will book your free consultation to evaluate the facts of your case and explain your options to seek compensation for any harm caused by someone else’s negligence.
How Much Is The Average Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, Or Grub Hub Injury Lawsuit Worth?
Many personal injury victims are misinformed and think that there are predetermined compensation amounts awarded for certain injuries or accidents. However, that is not the case. Instead, each case is carefully evaluated, and the compensation amount awarded is based on the victim’s actual losses and expenses. Working with your Kenmore Law Group Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, or Grub Hub accident injury attorney, you will gather all the supporting documentation for the losses and expenses you face because of your injuries while making the food delivery. The items typically included in this process are:

• All current and projected future medical expenses related to diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating any injuries sustained during the incident
• The cost of all legal services to prepare, file, and litigate your Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, or Grub Hub accident injury lawsuit
• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the injury incident
• Your lost income if the injuries sustained prevented you from returning to your job at Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, or Grub Hub until you were fully healed

If you suffer severe injuries and will require a lengthy recovery period, it is permitted to seek added compensation for your pain and suffering. Because this is not a verifiable amount, you will need to rely on your Kenmore Law Group legal team to provide guidance in selecting an appropriate amount. They will research recently resolved cases with similar details to provide you with a reasonable and fair amount to include for your pain and suffering.

You must also understand that in most cases of a workplace injury that allows you to sue someone for their negligence, you will need to seek compensation for items not covered under your worker’s comp benefits. So, if you have your medical expenses paid by worker’s comp, that amount will be excluded from your lawsuit compensation. However, you could seek compensation via a lawsuit for any lost wages that were not covered by worker’s comp benefits. Your Kenmore Law Group attorney will help you understand which items can or cannot be included in your Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, or Grub Hub personal injury lawsuit.

How Long Do I Have To Get Help And Compensation For My Injuries and Losses?
If you wish to open a worker’s comp claim, you must have contacted the program within 30 days of the injuries.

You are given two years from the date of the injury incident to pursue your Postmates, Uber Eats, Door Dash, or Grub Hub injury lawsuit.

It is vital to understand that this time limit is also strictly enforced, and there are limited opportunities to seek added time to file your claim once the two years have passed.
