The rise of the app-based gig economy has brought convenient transportation and delivery services, but it has also introduced unique risks. Drivers and delivery workers for ride-share, food delivery, or other app-based platforms can be involved in accidents that cause serious injuries or property damage. If you or a loved one has been injured in a gig economy accident in Daly City, Bay Area Legal Ally provides experienced legal representation to help you pursue compensation.
Understanding App-Based Gig Accident Risks
Accidents involving gig workers can occur due to multiple factors, including:
- Driver distraction from mobile devices or app notifications
- Negligent or reckless driving
- Fatigue or overwork from long shifts
- Vehicle maintenance issues
- Poor weather or unsafe road conditions
Injuries in gig-related accidents can be severe, including fractures, traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, and sometimes fatalities. Victims often face medical bills, lost wages, and long-term care needs.
