Yes, you may be able to. Many gig drivers—such as those working for DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Instacart—are considered independent contractors, not employees. That means they typically don’t qualify for workers’ compensation from the app itself. However, if another driver or third party caused your injury, you can often file a personal injury claim against them.

For example:

• If a distracted driver rear-ended you while you were delivering food, you can file a claim against that driver’s insurance.
• If a restaurant or property owner created unsafe conditions (like a slippery walkway), they could also be liable.

Even if the gig company’s insurance policy applies, these cases can be complex. Tim Wright Law helps delivery drivers navigate third-party claims to recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
