Gig Delivery Insurance Is Complicated
Like rideshare, delivery insurance depends on what the driver was doing at the time. Personal auto policies often exclude commercial delivery, and the delivery company’s coverage may only apply during an active delivery. Whether you were the driver or someone they hit, figuring out which policy pays, the driver’s personal insurance, the platform’s coverage, or another driver’s, often takes a lawyer.
Illinois follows modified comparative negligence: you can recover as long as you are not more than 50% at fault (735 ILCS 5/2-1116). Acting quickly to identify the driver’s delivery status helps establish which insurance applies.
Tipos de indemnización
En función de la naturaleza y la gravedad del accidente, es posible que tengas derecho a una indemnización por una serie de perjuicios, entre los que se incluyen:
Gastos médicos

Preguntas frecuentes
Depending on your status, you may have a claim against an at-fault driver, and possibly workers' compensation or the platform's occupational coverage. A lawyer can identify every option.
It depends on whether they were on an active delivery. The platform's coverage may apply during a delivery, otherwise the driver's personal auto insurance is usually responsible.
En la mayoría de los casos, dos años a partir de la fecha del accidente en Illinois (735 ILCS 5/13-202).
Not always. Platform coverage generally applies only while the driver is on an active delivery, which is why the driver's delivery status matters so much.
Aún así, es posible que puedas obtener una indemnización. En Illinois se aplica el principio de negligencia comparativa modificada, por lo que podrás obtener una indemnización siempre que tu culpa no supere el 50 % (735 ILCS 5/2-1116).
