Who We Help: Injured Drivers Across the Delivery Industry

Workers in nearly every segment of the delivery sector are vulnerable to injuries on the job—whether on the road or while dropping off items. Our attorneys represent:

• Amazon Flex drivers and Amazon delivery associates
• FedEx, UPS, and DHL drivers
• USPS and contracted mail carriers
• DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Instacart gig workers
• Local courier and medical delivery personnel

From W-2 employees to 1099 contractors, we evaluate every case individually. If you’ve been told you’re not eligible because of your classification, we’ll investigate and challenge that determination if needed.

Common Delivery Driver Injuries in Missouri

Drivers who make frequent stops, handle heavy packages, and operate vehicles in high-traffic zones face a wide range of injury risks. We routinely help clients dealing with:

• Car and truck crashes while driving for work
• Slip-and-fall injuries on icy steps, porches, or loading docks
• Dog bites or customer assaults during deliveries
• Repetitive strain injuries from lifting or loading
• Lower back and shoulder injuries
• Neck trauma or whiplash
• Concussions and TBIs from collisions

If you were hurt while performing a delivery task—even if it was outside your vehicle—you may have a valid delivery driver workers compensation claim in Missouri.

Legal Options for Injured Delivery Drivers

Depending on the circumstances of your accident and your employment status, we may pursue one or more legal strategies:

Missouri Workers Compensation Claims

If you’re a covered employee, you may be entitled to medical coverage, wage loss benefits, and permanent disability compensation.

Third-Party Personal Injury Lawsuits

If another driver, property owner, or business caused your injury, we may be able to file a civil suit for pain and suffering, medical costs, and more.

Misclassification Challenges

Gig workers labeled as independent contractors (such as DoorDash, Instacart, or Uber Eats drivers) may be misclassified and wrongly denied coverage. We investigate and challenge improper classifications.
