Understanding how auto insurance works for\ndelivery brands like DoorDash will help you know what to do after a collision\nwith a driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How DoorDash Insurance\nCoverage Works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you drive for DoorDash you use your own personal vehicle\nfor food deliveries, because you are not an employee. This leads to a problem\nfor car insurers, though; most will not cover a personal vehicle that is being\nused for commercial purposes. Because of this, Door Dash offers drivers its own\ncoverage to protect the other drivers they share the roadways with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Door Dash requires all drivers to have proof of personal car\ninsurance coverage; a driver that damages his own vehicle during a delivery\nwill have to file a claim with their own provider. A driver that injures\nsomeone else during a delivery, though, is covered by Door Dash\u2019s own coverage.\nDrivers are required to file claims with their own insurance company first,\nthen the brand\u2019s own insurance kicks in. That coverage is designed to protect\nyou if you are hit by a driver whether you are in your own vehicle, on a\nbicycle or simply walking by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What to Know if you are\nin an auto accident with a Door Dash Driver<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You are considered a third party, and if the driver was working\nfor DoorDash at the time, they are covered just like any other driver who\ncollides with you. The other driver may not know what to do though, this can\ncause delays. According to DoorDash, they need to file with their own insurer\nfirst, then if declined, file with DoorDash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the other driver, this means you should follow the same\nsteps we usually recommend for Redlands car accidents. Make sure the police are\ncalled, that the incident is documented and that any injuries get prompt\nmedical attention. Next, you should contact an attorney, as this is a more\ncomplex case and you need to be sure your rights are protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve been in an accident and injured by a Door Dash,\nInstacart, Uber or similar brand driver, you can receive coverage and\ncompensation from the brand.
