When You Should Contact a Lawyer
If you have a Walmart Spark driver strike you or your car, and the accident involves only minor injuries, or just a crumpled vehicle, you may be alright without a lawyer. It’s when you come away with a more serious injury that a lawyer may be a necessary protection and boost your settlement check.
A serious wound means higher doctor bills and a harder time making it into work, so you don’t miss more and more paychecks. The higher the recovery damages go, the more insurance adjusters and Walmart’s corporate lawyers work to dodge responsibility. They want to avoid those expenses.
Maison Law can fully investigate your crash and fight back with evidence if insurers try to blame you for the collision. Your California Spark Delivery Accident Lawyer also stands up for you when insurers try to downplay how badly you’ve been hurt, simply to get away with offering you less.
A lawyer may be able to earn you much more for serious injuries like these and others:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs), including moderate to severe concussions
- Neck injuries, including a long-lasting case of whiplash
- Back injuries, including spinal column injuries with disc fractures and compressions
- Bone fractures in the arms, legs, and elsewhere
- Tissue damage that tears or strains ligaments, tendons, and muscles
You can always file a claim yourself, but insurance companies can take advantage of you when you don’t know your full rights. They can get you to sign off on a quick settlement offer before you know the extent of what you’ll need to fully recover. Once you’ve signed, you can’t go back to ask for more when you find out you need additional surgeries and physical therapy in the future.

What Our Lawyers Demand For You After a Walmart Spark Accident
The consequences of a devastating California traffic accident can affect someone’s life for a week as they get over some soreness and some bruising. But more serious collisions can also change someone’s routine and even lifestyle for months or years.
Victims can go through surgeries only to have a broken bone heal incorrectly and continue to cause pain and numbness in a limb. They might suffer a permanent physical disability and have to learn how to manage after an amputation or paralysis.
Walmart makes billions in profits each year, and it’s not unreasonable to ask that they step up and take responsibility for the mistakes their drivers make.
An experienced attorney would demand these and other benefits from Walmart on behalf of a client in pain:
- Totals on medical bills
- The lifetime costs of a permanent disability
- The toll of physical pain
- The toll of emotional trauma caused by a frightening collision and a difficult recovery
- Loss of enjoyment of life due to an injury
- Travel costs of making doctor’s appointments and seeing out-of-town specialists
- Money to repair a vehicle or money to replace it
- Reimbursement for all paychecks lost while a victim can’t work
- Wrongful death benefits for families who lose a loved one to an accident involving a delivery vehicle
Walmart Spark Delivery Dangers
Walmart and Sam’s Club Spark delivery drivers can be rushing melting ice cream or badly needed diapers to any home in California. Employees may hop on any freeway or boulevard in California. They merge with normal traffic, but they can present very different dangers than someone going to work or school.
Spark drivers are completing job duties while at the wheel. It means their distractions can be doubled at times. They also have job pressures affecting their driving.
These are just a few of the obstacles that Spark delivery drivers encounter daily:
- Cellphone distractions when getting notifications from new customers and accepting gigs
- Cellphone distractions when trying to find a home address
- Deadline pressure to please a customer
- Temptation to speed or drive recklessly to get a delivery rating
- Distraction near a crosswalk and a risk to pedestrians
- Distraction near a bike lane or parking on a bike lane, putting cyclists at risk
- Drowsy or unfocused driving when Spark workers go too long without a break or don’t get enough sleep the night before.
Proving an At-Fault Driver Was Working for Walmart
Proving that a driver was guilty of these and other poor choices can be difficult on your own. A lawyer can help you gather evidence and even bring in an accident reconstruction team when there’s a dispute over who caused a collision.
Proving a driver was working at the time of an accident can also be tricky. A worker may deny carrying groceries for Walmart so they don’t risk losing their job. It’s a good idea to take photos at the scene of your accident and show any Walmart Spark signage or clothing that a driver is wearing. A trunk full of Walmart boxes and bags may also indicate someone is on the clock for the business.
A lawyer can also work to get cellphone logs and app records to make sure Walmart doesn’t escape blame.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Walmart carry insurance for its Spark drivers?
Walmart likes to keep its Spark drivers classified as independent contractors. They do this to try to avoid accountability when their drivers cause accidents. Spark drivers are required to have their own car insurance policy that covers their “gig”, short-term work. But victims can file a claim with the driver’s usually “basic” level of insurance and be rejected, or simply hit the policy’s limits before they’ve got all their hospital bills paid. Walmart may claim they aren’t financially responsible for freelance drivers, but a skilled Maison Law attorney can help you turn up the pressure on the giant business and seek major recovery help from Walmart.
How long do I have to file an injury claim after a Walmart Spark vehicle hits me?
You can usually file an injury claim up to two years after your accident. You should speak with an attorney as soon as possible, though. This will give your lawyer time to collect fresh evidence and track down witnesses.
What if I can’t afford to pay a lawyer right after a serious accident?
After getting hit by a Spark delivery vehicle, you likely won’t have the money to spend on paying a lawyer. But that’s okay. You can always afford the protection and security Maison Law offers. We don’t ask for any payment unless we win your case for you. Then our fee comes out of the settlement check that an insurance company must write for you and your family.
