Your Trusted Chicago Delivery Driver Accident Lawyer
Whether you were a delivery driver hurt on the job, or someone hit by a driver rushing an order, app-based delivery crashes raise tricky insurance questions. Furqan Mohammed helps delivery accident victims across Chicago sort out the coverage and pursue the full compensation they deserve.
Understanding Delivery Accident Claims in Illinois
App-based delivery for DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, and others has put many more drivers, bikes, and scooters on Chicago’s streets, and more crashes with them. Whether you were an injured delivery driver or someone hurt by one, you may be entitled to compensation, though the insurance can be complicated. In most cases you have two years from the date of the crash to file a claim in Illinois (735 ILCS 5/13-202).
Common Delivery Accident Situations
Delivery crashes happen in a few recurring ways, including:
Distracted by the app
Rushing to deliver
Bikes and scooters in traffic
Injured on the job
Другие небрежные водители
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.
Виды компенсации
В зависимости от характера и тяжести ДТП вы можете иметь право на компенсацию ряда убытков, в том числе:

Часто задаваемые вопросы
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.
В большинстве случаев — два года с даты ДТП в штате Иллинойс (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.
Вы всё ещё можете получить компенсацию. В штате Иллинойс действует принцип модифицированной сопоставительной вины, поэтому вы имеете право на компенсацию, если ваша вина не превышает 50 % (735 ILCS 5/2-1116).
