How much would you bet against DoorDash's "insurance" being the small print on page 78 of the T&Cs when you sign up to be Dasher including something along the lines of "You, as and independent contractor partner, certify that you carry all appropriate insurance and accept responsibility for any claims arising from your delivery operations."???

I know Instacart has some kind of injury/disability insurance for their runners, but if you get in a wreck you're pretty much on your own since most insurance will deny claims for "Rideshare drivers".

Shipt supposedly covers it–their contractor agreement states that you need to have the state required auto insurance and they have a policy that takes effect while working that will increase your coverage to commercial-level insurance. I have also asked their insurance department about this directly and this has been confirmed.

ahahahahahah probably yes. doordash has some cool lawyers that can defend that. but mom's delivery company gets the full force of the law
