With most restaurants in the Hyde Park area offering food delivery either through apps or via their own drivers, it’s not surprising that delivery drivers are everywhere on the roads in the area.
While most deliveries go off without a hitch, unfortunately, there are incidents when drivers cause accidents to occur. In these situations, crash victims should work with an experienced Hyde Park accident attorney.
Diaco Law has helped many victims of delivery accidents to understand their rights and pursue a damage claim.

Why do You Need a Lawyer who is Familiar with Food Delivery Accidents?
If you are involved in a crash with a vehicle delivering food, you need an attorney who understands these kinds of accidents because there are some special rules and complexities.
Specifically:
- Third-party insurance may provide coverage: Some food delivery apps, like Uber, have third-party insurance coverage in place. This supplements the insurance the delivery driver has, increasing the likelihood of full compensation being available. Not all companies offer this, though. Diaco Law knows how the different apps work, so you can make informed choices.
- Vicarious liability rules may make the restaurant responsible for losses: While delivery drivers using apps like Uber are independent contractors and not employees, some restaurants do employ their own drivers. In these circumstances, Florida’s vicarious liability rules may entitle you to pursue a claim for compensation from the restaurant.
- Evidence may be available that can help you bolster your case. Diaco Law can help you to take steps like subpoenaing apps and cell phone records, as these may provide important evidence of unsafe behavior like fatigued or impaired driving. If you can show the driver was on the phone or had been delivering food for too long, this could help you make a stronger claim.
Diaco Law has the knowledge you need, and we are prepared and ready to put our extensive experience with delivery accident claims to work for you.
