CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF PIZZA DELIVERY ACCIDENTS IN AUSTIN
If you have been injured in an accident in Austin, you are most certainly not alone. In 2020, Texas experienced a large increase in motor vehicle crashes and fatalities; in fact, someone was injured from a car accident every 2 minutes and 34 seconds. Because of the many reasons listed below, pizza delivery drivers are more likely to cause motor vehicle accidents, and, as you may know personally, these accidents can have devastating consequences.
Why Pizza Delivery Drivers Are More Likely to Cause Accidents
It is common for restaurants and food chains to hire young teenagers to work as their delivery drivers. These delivery drivers oftentimes have just gotten their licenses and have very little experience on the road. This, combined with all of the other factors that make delivery driving risky, can be extremely dangerous.
Unfamiliar Territory on Stormy Nights
Not only are these young drivers oftentimes driving on new roads that they have never been on before, but they are also more often than not driving at night; this can easily result in the inexperienced drivers speeding through a stop sign they didn’t know was there or didn’t see. Of course, there is the additional fact that the most popular time to order pizza is when the weather is at its worst. No one wants to drive in the middle of a thunderstorm to pick up dinner, but this means that the busiest shifts for the young drivers are when the roads are at their worst.
Distracted Driving
Another reason that pizza delivery drivers are susceptible to causing accidents is the many distractions that they are subjected to while on the job. Delivery drivers need to watch their GPS to help them get to the delivery location, they need to answer any phone calls from the restaurant, and they need to answer if the customer calls for an update on their food; this is all while trying to keep their eyes on the road. Of course, young inexperienced drivers may even be texting or changing their music on top of all of the other distractions.
Drowsy Driving
Believe it or not, drowsy driving can be just as dangerous as driving under the influence. When a pizza delivery driver had a full day at school or at his or her other job before starting the delivery shift, they can be exhausted by the time they start their delivery shift. Driving for a long period of time can certainly make this exhaustion worse. Thus, drowsy driving can also be the cause of pizza delivery accidents in Austin.
Motivated Mistakes
Lastly, pizza delivery drivers are, just like the rest of us, trying to make a living. They want to perform well so that their restaurant keeps them as employees, and so that the customers are satisfied and give them healthy tips; this means that there is a lot of pressure on these drivers to perform well, and in their line of work, performing well means making deliveries as quickly as possible. This pressure on drivers to make deliveries quickly and efficiently can easily cause drivers to make mistakes or drive negligently. This pressure, on top of all of the other factors, can be very dangerous.
Consequences of Pizza Delivery Accidents in Austin
Pizza delivery accidents in Austin can have devastating physical and financial consequences. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, in 2020 alone, 205,498 people in Texas were injured and 3,623 people lost their lives as a result of car accidents. Below are some of the most common injuries and other financial consequences that can result from car accidents, but if the consequences you suffered from aren’t on this list don’t let that stop you from calling one of our experienced Austin injury lawyers.
These are just a few of the more common injuries, but keep in mind that there are many, many, more that are not on this list. No matter what your injury was, you deserve getting compensated for it, which is what the Austin personal injury lawyers at Zinda Law Group are here to help you with.
Car accidents have financial consequences which you may be eligible to be compensated for. Your settlement could include the wages you lost from days you had to take off of work, the out-of-pocket expenses you had to pay to get your car fixed, and the increased insurances rates that you were subjected to following an accident.
If you lost a loved one in an accident, you may also be suffering from the loss of financial support that your spouse would have provided in the future, had he or she survived, or you may be suffering from the loss of companionship of your spouse. Those are heartbreaking consequences that you deserve compensation for.
Whatever the consequences are that you are personally struggling with, we understand that they likely feel completely overwhelming, and you may not know where to start. At Zinda Law Group, an Austin car accident lawyer can help you navigate this process and fight for you to receive the compensation you deserve for your hardships.

LIABILITY IN PIZZA DELIVERY DRIVER ACCIDENTS IN AUSTIN
If someone or something, like a restaurant, is “liable” to you for your injuries, that means that you have a legally enforceable claim against them because of your harm. Basically, it means that they breached a duty or obligation they had, which caused your harm. In most car accidents it is the other driver who is liable to the injured party, and in a pizza delivery driver accident, that can also be the case. However, there are times when another party is liable too: the restaurant who employed the driver who hit you.
Respondeat Superior
Texas recognizes a legal doctrine called respondeat superior, which says that an employer can be held liable for the wrongful acts of an employee when those acts are committed within the scope of their employment. For example, if the pizza delivery driver was not “on the clock” at the time of your accident, then the restaurant would likely not be considered liable. However, if the driver was actively making a delivery when the accident occurred, then he was acting “within the scope of his employment” and therefore the restaurant could be liable to you.
In order to successfully prevail on a respondeat superior claim, you need to show that the driver was in fact an “employee” of the restaurant; this may sound like an easy task, but that isn’t always the case. Sometimes the restaurant may try to argue that the delivery driver was functionally an independent contractor, not an employee, and therefore the doctrine of respondeat superior does not apply to them. Experienced Austin pizza delivery accident lawyers, like those at Zinda Law Group, know what it takes to defeat this argument and successfully hold the restaurant liable.
Other Liable Parties
Instead of or in addition to the restaurant, there may be other parties that could be liable to you as well; for example, if the delivery driver’s brakes failed and ultimately caused the accident, then the vehicle manufacturer may be liable to you under a doctrine called products liability. To prove products liability, you would need to show that the defendant manufacturer sells the brakes that were on the car driven by the pizza deliverer, that the brakes were defective when they were sold, that you suffered an injury, and that the defective brakes were the actual or proximate cause of your injury. This may sound complicated, but our Austin injury attorneys are well versed in this field of law and know how to prove your case if necessary.
Why It Matters
You may be asking yourself, “Why does it matter who or how many parties are liable?” and that is a good question. It may seem as though incorporating these different defendants just makes your case more complicated, and in some ways it does. However, figuring out who is liable and holding them accountable is extremely important; not only does it prevent the party from behaving irresponsibly in the future and causing more injuries, but it also gives you the greatest chance of receiving the maximum amount of compensation possible.
Not every defendant has enough assets or liability insurance coverage to pay you the damages that you deserve; for example, a teenage pizza delivery driver is likely to be in the worst position possible to pay you adequate compensation. Although the driver should have insurance, their insurance is certainly not as comprehensive as the insurance for the restaurant or the part manufacturer. By introducing additional parties to your lawsuit, you are greatly increasing the chances of recovering from a defendant who actually has the means to pay your damages.
Of course, figuring out who is liable—and how to prove that they were liable—is not easy. Sometimes it may not be clear whether the driver was acting within the scope of his employment or whether there was a defective product that caused the accident. This is one of the many reasons why it is so important to retain experienced Austin personal injury lawyers like those at Zinda Law Group.
I had the privilege of working with Zinda Law Group recently and was thoroughly impressed with the level of service and support they provided. When we began, I had reservations about the likelihood of reaching a settlement, but the team's professionalism, intelligence, and dedication quickly put those doubts to rest. They went above and beyond to ensure that I was informed and comfortable throughout the process, and their hard work and strong advocacy ultimately led to a successful outcome. I cannot thank Zinda Law Group and their staff enough for their exceptional service and support, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance. Their commitment to their clients and their willingness to fight for what's right truly sets them apart. In short, I give them a rating of five stars for their outstanding work.
Zinda Law Group is amazing! My husband was in an accident and they made the process super easy and hassle free. They took care of everything, we are so appreciative for them! They exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be telling everyone we know about them. Thank you Zinda Law for everything!
Zinda Law Group is an amazing firm! My case was not without its challenges, but they handled it all in stride. They kept me up to date, kept me informed every step of the way, and ensured I understood the process and all of my options. Burgess, Ryan and their extremely capable staff of Paralegals made a very challenging process as painless as possible. They were kind, compassionate, and patient, and just a real pleasure to work with. I would, and will, recommend them highly to anyone needing an attorney.
My experience with Zinda Law Group was pretty awesome. I definitely would recommend their Law firm. Brendan and his team were very friendly, helpful and informative about my case and were able to win as well. I really appreciate all of their hard work and dedication, I highly recommend.Thank you all again for your help and your time.Sincerely,Pat.b

I recommend anyone dealing with auto accidents (or similarly) to Zinda Law group.I felt I was very important to them and that my feelings and thoughts were validated.

Zinda Law did an excellent job for us from start to finish. They communicated clearly and their staff was great! My son Nic was in a car accident and had an injury to his eye. Zinda Law took care of everything start to finish and obtained the maximum amount possible from insurance for his injury.
I am so glad I called Zinda law group. being hit by a drink driver was the worst experience of my life physically and emotionally. As soon as I reached out they got the ball rolling with all my medical needs. They were in contact with all of my appointments and made my recovery as smooth as possible. I would definitely without a doubt recommend them. A huge shout out to Shivangi for taking over and fighting for what my family and I deserved.
My experience with Zinda Law Group has been OUTSTANDING! Big shoutout to Joe Caputo and his team!I was the passenger in a terrible car accident that left me needing medical attention. The person at faults insurance company reassured me that my medical bills would be taken care of. However, that was not the case. I started receiving multiple calls from debt collectors, and bill after bill by mail. The driver’s insurance company no longer returned my calls, and emails went unanswered. I was so stressed and over my head with how to handle the situation. It was time to call the pros! As soon as I made the call to Zinda Law Group, Joe and his team I were on it! I no longer received calls from debt collectors, so I knew action was taken immediately. I was informed every step of the way, and every call/email was answered. Had I called sooner, I would have never gone through all that stress. I was treated like a friend, not just a client.Thank you Zinda Law Group!
I hired Zinda for a crazy situation involving an 18 wheeler where an object flew off a trailer and blasted through my windshield.I reached out to Zinda and spoke with Michael Cupero, my attorney at Zinda, after the accident once I realized this is affecting my day to day life in a significant way (PTSD from a "Final Destination" type of incident) and Michael was nothing short of fantastic through the entire process.The Zinda team, including Michael and Mary-Catherine Holt and several others, guided me through the entire process from initial settlement offers, filing the lawsuit, depositions, the whole 9.They listened to my concerns, provided clarity and perspective when needed, and not once did I feel that my best interest was not at the forefront of their actions and behavior through my experience as a client.Thank you Michael, Mary-Catherine and Zinda!If you want a team that will treat you with professionalism, respect, and understanding then do yourself a favor and reach out to Zinda!
Extremely professional and communicative . They explained the process as we went along and made it very clear weighting pros and cons. They understood my pain and my worries but kept their expertise always on the top of things finding elements for me to win my case. I am thankful to have had Zinda Law Group to support me during those two years as it finalized and I can keep on living.
My experience with Zinda law group has been wonderful from start to finish. Natasha and Emily explained everything very well and answered any questions I had, communicated well throughout the whole process , and handled the case very professionally, they worked very hard on my case I would definitely highly recommend to friends and family.
I found myself in a situation where I needed legal representation. After looking over reviews in the area, I decided to contact Natasha at Zinda law group in the hopes that she could represent me . Natasha put me at ease with her responsiveness and her ability to accommodate my last minute needs. I had no idea what to expect. It felt like a wave of relief knowing that you're working with a professional that knows what she's doing, and knows how to get things done quickly and efficiently. I appreciate the time and attention that Natasha put into my case. I hope I won't be needing their services again in the future, but I would absolutely contact them again if I do. Thanks again
I am very satisfied with the service and the outcome of my case.Since the first phone call, and every step of the way until the end, Zinda Law was on top of every detail pertaining to my auto accident case.The case is now closed, and looking back, they made every step of the process easy and manageable. They were very thorough in explaining the different scenarios, and extremely transparent with all the possible outcomes.Thank you to every person who aided in the success of my case, all of whom were exceptional in their tasks and working as a team.
The Zinda Law Group was outstanding in helping me with my aunts case. My two Attorneys Neil and Shivangi were very compassionate, kind, eager to help, and really listen carefully and attentively to my case about my aunt. My aunt got hit by a driver while crossing the street and killed. I went after the guys insurance; although, this doesn't bring back my aunt, but allows for this not to happen to other people like this in her case. These attorneys worked very hard and efficiently to bring the justice that they saw fit. When I had a question they explained in terms I understood and not above and beyond me. I appreciate it when people can come down to my level and not intimidate and use trepidation on someone in feeling like they are the fly while they're the spider waiting for the right moment for the fly to walk into its web.Neil and Shivangi always whenever they called asked me how I was at the beginning of our conversations and is there anything I needed at the end of each call. Each call they made to me, was made very professional, personable and felt heart felt as if you were part of the family. At the end of each subject matter they always asked, "Do you have any questions for me before we go to the next thing we need to talk about?" They always wanted to make sure I understood everything before the next item we needed to talk about. These guys really are good and want to please the client anyway they can I thought; when I first started talking to them. I give them above and beyond a 5-Star rating if there was such a thing. I Highly Recommend The Zinda Law Group to Anyone who needs them. This is what I give them if I could!!💯💯💯💯💯 and👍👍👍👍👍 and⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❗❗❗THANK YOU TO NEIL, SHIVANGI, MARA AND TO EVERYONE AT THE ZINDA LAW GROUP WHO WORKED ON MY CASE!! I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!
I would like to recognize a fantastic attorney named Joe Caputo from Zinda Law Group. I was involved in an auto accident that had many complicated moving parts that were hard to navigate and understand as a victim. Joe was so gracious and spent quality time explaining what courses of action I needed to take as a victim to protect myself. Joe was also diligent in following up with me regarding my case and provided guides and checklists that were extremely helpful to keep things organized and moving. Joe was always readily available for my questions and responded promptly. Joe Caputo's excellent counsel ensured I protected myself when dealing with the opposing insurance company and ensured the best possible outcome for my case. Joe's expertise in personal injury lawsuits helped alleviate the stress and anxiety that follows the aftermath of an auto accident. Thanks again Joe! You are truly an amazing, kind person and attorney!
Zinda Law was incredibly amazing. I had the pleasure of working with Michael and his incredibly hard working team after my wreck in November. They went above and beyond keeping up with my health, bills, insurance companies, all that fun stuff I had no time for. After what felt like such a short amount of time, they were able to win every last penny from the "bad guys" insurance (loved that term). I couldn't happier, and even though I went through something traumatic, it was still the best experience I could have ever asked for. Thank you Michael and everyone that helped with my case, yall are the best!!
My attorney was Christina , she and her team gave me the best outcome for my case .I am giving an honesty review at first I was very upset because I kept getting moved around and I never knew who I was talking to because they switch attorneys and kept changing my paralegals.. I was going to go with another law firm but Christina helped me with my case from then on out and she worked around my schedule to talk to me which I appreciate. Also my last law firm took 30 percent, and this one took 33 percent which I wasn’t to happy so just a heads up. Overall I rate this 4 stars cause I’m just happy the case is over with and I get to go back to my life.Update: I just received another call from my attorney and they have worked to negotiate my case with the billing and have put more money in my pocket. All the money that I had spent while working on the case has came back to me. I can fully move on and say that I have gain every penny that was lose during those hard times. I’m so happy and thankful to Zinda law group!!!!!!
Zinda Law Group did an excellent job with my case. The staff was super friendly and super effective as far as communicating with me throughout the entire case. I highly recommend Zinda Law Group for your next case and for any of your future cases. 5 Stars across the board thank you so much for everything!
Joh Harper, Priyonka Bhikha, and the rest of the team gave my case a quick and satisfactory conclusion. The attorney, Mr. Harper did an absolutely amazing job keeping me on the same page as far as the case goes. Honestly, if anybody is hurt in a car wreck or another personal injury case, I WILL STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU SPEAK TO THEM.
I was in a motor vehicle collision about two years ago. From the minute I picked up the phone to speak with a representative to the case finally settling, it was a great experience. I worked with Burgess Williams and his team (Kathy, Ryan, and Linda) throughout the process. They were all very professional and helpful when I needed them the most.
Great Firm. I was in motorcycle accident- T-boned at a full stop with my daughter riding on back. Zinda's team was instantly responsive. Christina was very compassionate, organized and scheduled time before every legal event to discuss goals and overview. The process was 2 years but during that time the lawyers and staff (John and Shane were also great) were always available and understanding. The team is focused on doing what is right and by the book. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who is suffering from a motorcycle accident.
Jason Aldridge and his paralegal Mara did an absolutely amazing job on my case. They were very responsive to all emails, calls and even texts. They treated me with dignity and respect from start to finish. I never once felt like my case was at the back of the list or anything. Not only did they explain and walked me through everything, they got me the help I needed and a final outcome over what I had expected. I would highly recommend this law firm, Jason and Mara to anyone seeking legal assistance.
Highly Recommended-100% Satisfied!.From the initial phone call I felt confident I chose the right firm. They explained the process and I was always in the loop, even when we were at a stand still. Very grateful I was quickly referred to them by a friend who had a similar case. Both of us are happy with the end result. Thank you!
My team of lawyer were very professional and communicated extremely clearly. They kept me updated on their status and did not make me worry at all about my situation. They explained everything to me very well and put things into simple terms for my understanding. I am very satisfied with their performance.
I would recommend them to anyone that's been involved in an accident and feels skeptical in engaging an attorney.When one gets into an accident, you're traumatized, confused, angry and helpless.That was me last year, getting all kinds of advice becomes your next norm, to use or not to use an attorney.I was in so much pain from my injuries but at the same time knew I had to act fast.I called Zinda Law Group for consultation, they took my case seriously and treated me with respect, they were very professional and understanding.Elizabeth, kudos to you, you're true to your word, Integrity should be your last name.Jason Aldridge my attorney went to work immediately, he assured me that all be well and I should concentrate on my healing and he will do the rest. Thank your Sir, You did just that.His team, Mara, Zuleyma and Andrew, they all become my support system, so professional and lots of respect in each and everyphone call or email. Thank you guys.I would recommend anyone to use Zinda Law Group.
I honestly loved not dealing with the hospital bills while I was recuperating. It gave me peace of mind going through this process and Zinda took care of everything. They found awesome health providers for me and haven't had to worry about anything while they've been taking my case. I've been well informed, communicated with, responded to and understood by Zinda. They have been efficient and effective while working on my case and I'm so glad I choose to go with this law firm.
When I was injured in a car accident in March of 2020 the insurance companies were not concerned with my well being. I called Zinda Law group & spoke with Reagan, who went over my concerns & later had Jono contact me. After reviewing my information with Jono my case was immediately put in motion. I worked mainly with Sam Thomas who truly was a blessing to me, he was very supportive & genuinely concerned with my well being, everything wasn't simply about the case it was about me being healed & getting the proper treatment that I needed. Sam was also emotionally supportive when I went through several losses in my family & is a great friend. In all everyone was extremely supportive & all worked for me which was quite a different legal experience for me from Law groups in my past. I was well supported, always informed, treated with respect & made the priority in all decisions. Zinda Law Group made sure I was compensated completely & that I didn't have financial stresses over hospital bills after all was said & done. Sam, Katrina, Mary Catherine, Reagan & Jono I just want to thank you & all of Zinda for the incredible experience & the wonderful caring people that you all are, you are truly Golden in your field.
They helped me after I got into car accident, they are such a great professional business. I would honestly recommend them to anyone that would need help after a car accident for sure, they kept me up to date with everything that was happening on with my case. I had multiple people working on my said case and they were very professional and nice whenever they had called me and kept it very simple for me to understand what was actually going on. I'm extremely happy that I had found them and went with them to help me and I'm so thankful for them. 10/10 would recommend!
I am so glad I got in touch with Zinda! My car accident occurred just 4 days prior to moving, during the busiest week of the year at my job, and just a week before the quarantine was declared a new reality for all of us. Everyone at Zinda remained persistent, supportive, and most of all advocated for me throughout such a chaotic time. I’ll always be grateful for the care they took to make sure my health and well-being were taken care of. So super grateful to know that a split second mistake someone else made doesn’t have to dictate my life. Thanks!
My experience with Zinda Law Group was better than expected. After an accident that totalled my car, I reached out and was paired with a wonderful attorney. She communicated frequently and responded to my calls and texts in a timely manner. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions. I was kept in the loop during every step of the process. I would call Zinda Law if I ever need this type of support again.
I had an excellent experience working with the attorneys at Zinda Law Group! They were knowledgeable, professional and patient. They walked me through every step of the long process of getting treatment after my car wreck and kept me updated with timeframes and next steps. I would absolutely recommend anyone working with them!
They helped me with so much! I had a dog bite happen 2019 and it was very heart breaking! This law group made everything so easy to help me through a rough time! John Rogers and Shane Eckert were very easy to talk to and open about if I needed to talk about frustrations I had with bills. Everything got closed before Christmas and I was so blessed! I highly recommend them no matter what! Thank you guys so much!
Zinda Law Group helped me with my personal injury case after an auto accident. I was hurt pretty badly and I wasn't sure which attorney to call, I looked at reviews for Zinda Law and called right away.Kaitlin Nares and her team were so responsive and helpful. Kaitlin called me right away and helped me navigate through a very difficult process and time in my life. Being hurt in a car accident changes you!!! My case settled for more than I thought it would, and a lot quicker. I know sometimes things are more complicated, but my case was settled in only 3 months after my accident. Mary-Catherine was also so helpful in making sure everything was finalized! I have referred two people who have recently been in auto accident because it's not IF, its WHEN these days... I usually don't write reviews unless I feel strongly about sharing my experience to help others! Thank you!!!
I was referred here by a family member. Our lawyer jason and his team did and amazing job. They kept me updated in everything made sure I understood what was going on. My son was hit by a van in the hospital jason came right over. He's awesome so much down to earth straight forward. I would recommend him and his firm to everyone and I have thank you zinda but most of all thank you Jason for being there for us for being a friend
Zinda Law Group was recommended to me from another satisfied client and I certainly received excellent service. The attorneys and staff are very proactive with communication and I knew every step of the way what was happening on my case. I never felt pressured with decision making and they went above & beyond to answer questions with satifactory explanations. This is a very professional group of attorneys & support staff. In addition, they were willing to meet me at a location more convenient for me. I appreciated their concern for my time.
Could not speak highly enough of the firm. I was involved in my first accident and thankfully had Zinda Law Group supporting me through the scary time. Jono took care of me every step of the way. He made me feel like I was a priority through the entire process. A big thank you to Jono and the rest of the Zinda crew!
THREE STEPS TO TAKE AFTER A PIZZA DELIVERY ACCIDENT IN AUSTIN
If you have been in a pizza delivery accident in Austin, take the following three steps to ensure your safety and your likelihood of prevailing in a personal injury lawsuit down the road.
1. Pull Over, Call 911, Get a Police Report, and Seek Medical Attention.
The most important thing you can do after a car accident is to call 911. In Texas you are required to call the police if there was an injury, even if you think the injury was minor. Making sure that the police come to the scene and fill out a report is extremely important for your lawsuit down the road.
You should also always agree to be checked out by medical personnel, either at the scene of the accident or as soon as possible afterward. Your health is the first priority, and sometimes the shock of an accident can cause you to not notice immediate injuries. Getting medical attention can make sure that whatever injuries you do have do not get left untreated and progress over time.
2. Document Everything.
The earlier you can start documenting everything the better. Be sure to write down the name and insurance information for the other driver, as well as the name and location of the pizza delivery restaurant they work for. If there were any witnesses, try to take down their names and contact information as well; that way, if necessary, we can use them to support your case later on.
If you are well enough to do so, consider taking pictures of the scene and any injuries you have. Even after the day of the accident, continue to document everything you can because the information you gather is very helpful to your case and to your Austin personal injury lawyer later on.
Our Zinda Law Group Austin injury attorneys know how to investigate your claims, negotiate with insurance, and help you get compensated to the maximum. We also know how overwhelming this experience can be, which is why our Austin injury lawyers are dedicated to walking you through every step of the process and making sure that you are fully informed on every decision you make.
It is important that you call Zinda Law Group as soon as you can. In Texas, the statute of limitations is only two years from the date of the accident, and although that may seem like a long period of time, it can fly by when you are struggling with a personal injury or the loss of a loved one. The more time your lawyer has to prepare your case before having to file it in court, the better.
