Determining If You Need the Help of a Lawyer
Accident victims suffering from serious injuries often reach better settlements with a lawyer handling their case. Something like a broken bone, a neck or back injury, or a brain injury will bring higher medical bills and more lost time at work. These rising costs make insurers for the driver and for Jitsu get defensive. They’ll do everything possible to deflect blame and leave victims with nothing.
A skilled California Jitsu Delivery Accident Lawyer can investigate the accident and Jitsu’s business practices to keep the blame in the right place. Then, Maison Law demands the maximum in support. Victims can always file their own claims, but an experienced lawyer has a great chance to earn them much more than they could earn by taking on Jitsu corporate lawyers on their own.

Maison Law Fights to Win You These Benefits While You Are Down with an Injury
Delivery drivers and Jitsu make a lot of money using California freeways and boulevards. They also put more traffic, and sometimes large vehicles, in lanes each day. When you factor in stressed, distracted delivery drivers at the wheel, it’s no wonder accidents occur.
When collisions occur due to Jitsu’s business model, drivers and the company need to be held fully responsible for the costs of emergency response, an ambulance ride, and a trip to a California ER. And when the expenses go beyond a quick trip to the hospital, such as surgeries and physical therapy, Jitsu should also be called upon to cover costs for as long as recovery takes.
After an accident, your lawyer would inform Jitsu and its insurers of every hardship they were responsible for.
Your California truck accident lawyer would demand these benefits and more included in a settlement check:
- Full payment of existing medical bills and those expected in the future.
- Any expenses associated with a permanent disability. The cost of support over a lifetime.
- The toll of physical pain.
- The toll of emotional trauma, including the anxiety and depression that can accompany a difficult recovery.
- Loss of enjoyment of life due to an injury, including having to give up hobbies and family activities, even vacations.
- Travel costs of making doctor’s appointments and seeing out-of-town specialists while unable to drive.
- The cost to get your vehicle working again or the money to replace it.
- All income and benefits are replaced for victims who haven’t been able to work.
- Wrongful death benefits for families who lose a loved one to an accident involving a delivery vehicle.
The Dangers that Jitsu Delivery Drivers Cause on California Roads
Jitsu is a “last-mile” delivery service, but they generally let the independent contractors who download their app do all the lifting. They help businesses of all sorts make the last leg of a delivery, often from a distribution center to a customer’s home or company.
Drivers sign up to get delivery orders from participating businesses. Drivers supply their own vehicles, which might be cars, trucks, or vans. One of the common worries is that Jitsu won’t do a thorough background check and allow a driver with a bad record to get behind the wheel of a truck.
Delivery drivers also often get into a hurry with a long list of drop-offs to make and conflicting routes through California traffic. They want good reviews from clients and customers, and sometimes that makes drivers in cars and loaded-down vans get a little reckless. They might ram another vehicle on a freeway while checking their phones for shipment information. They can break the speed limit to make a deadline and sideswipe another vehicle after losing control.
Proving these mistakes and others can be key for victims to win the support they need to cover their doctor invoices and physical therapy fees. But Jitsu lawyers will be poking holes in any case directed at the company.
Maison Law would attack right back. Our skilled lawyers can use accident reconstruction teams to show exactly what caused your accident. We can obtain any security footage of the accident that might exist. We can also demand internet records showing when a driver was on the app and working for Jitsu.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Jitsu drivers have car insurance for accidents?
Jitsu drivers are classified as independent contractors. They must have their own personal car insurance policies. But this reliance on regular car insurance can leave accident victims without support or not enough support. The trouble is that many insurers will throw out claims when they find out the driver was working when it occurred. Jitsu drivers can get commercial endorsements for their coverage, so victims are covered. But this is expensive, and not every worker will take this precaution. Jitsu can be forced to accept blame in certain circumstances. If the driver’s own policy won’t cover the accident, or it’s a bare-minimum policy that doesn’t fully cover the victim’s recovery, Jitsu may have to accept responsibility. A skilled lawyer can represent the threat of a lawsuit and force Jitsu to do the right thing. A lawyer might also question the hiring practices and safety policies of its “gig” business model.
What should I do right after getting hit by a Jitsu driver?
Evidence will be key in holding Jitsu responsible for a collision. The best evidence is often found in the moments after an impact. First, make sure everyone is safe. Call 911 and ask for an ambulance response if you or anyone else is hurt in any way. Get checked out and go to the ER if necessary. Give investigating officers a full account of what happened. Alert them that the driver was on the clock for Jitsu if they don’t realize it. Then, if you are left strong enough, and it’s safe to do so, try to get photos of your injuries and any damage to the vehicles involved. If you see any signs showing that a driver was on the road for a delivery company, get pictures. This might be signage on the vehicle or logos on the clothing the driver is wearing. Get witness contact information.
How long can I wait to file a delivery driver accident claim?
Two years. Car accident victims have a two-year statute of limitations to file an injury claim. They should act quickly. Evidence can get misplaced or disappear the longer victims wait. It’s best to talk to a lawyer and allow them to get started on a case while the evidence is still fresh and witnesses can be identified.
