Pizza Delivery Accident Lawyers in Las Cruces

Pizza delivery companies often pride themselves on how fast their service is, but they don’t mention the number of drivers that cause crashes. If a pizza delivery driver hit you and you suffered injuries, our experienced Las Cruces pizza delivery accident lawyers at Zinda Law Group can help you recover compensation to cover medical bills and other costs.

Our experienced Las Cruces car accident lawyers are here for our clients 24/7 and have the resources and ability to guide you through the entire legal process, from the initial filing to the final verdict. As always, you do not pay us anything unless we successfully win your pizza delivery accident case.

Food Delivery Driver Requirements

People must pass certain requirements before becoming food delivery drivers for apps such as DoorDash or Grubhub or for pizza delivery companies such as Domino’s or Pizza Hut. These requirements will vary depending on the company and its policies, with some companies being more strict on driver requirements while others may be more lenient. As an example, Domino’s pizza delivery drivers must show proof of the following:

18 years of age
A valid driver’s license
A reliable vehicle
Car insurance
A safe driving record
Navigational skills

While many companies thoroughly check their drivers, others may not. Unfortunately, if a company fails to perform a proper background or insurance check, their drivers may end up causing damage and injuries while on the road. If you’ve suffered injuries from a pizza company’s failure to check their employees, you could hold the company and the delivery driver accountable.

If you have been involved in an accident with a pizza delivery driver, our pizza delivery accident attorneys in Las Cruces can help investigate the company requirements and determine whether or not there were negligent hiring practices; our team can also help answer any of your questions and guide you through the often confusing legal process.

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury in New Mexico?

After being injured due to a pizza delivery accident, you may wonder how long you have to file a personal injury claim. The legal time limit to file any claim is known as the statute of limitations. This time limit is extremely important to understand, as it will change with each case and in each state.

According to N.M. Stat. § 37-1-8, the statute of limitations to file a personal injury claim in New Mexico is typically three years; this means that you have three years from the date of the injury to file your claim. For example, if an at-fault driver hit your car on January 1, 2023, you have until January 1, 2025, to file your case; if you fail to meet this deadline, you may be unable to request compensation for your physical injuries, mental distress, and property damage.

However, the details of your accident could give you more or less time to file. To find out exactly how long you have to file, our pizza delivery accident attorneys can tell you in a free consultation.

Common Injuries in Pizza Delivery Accidents

Pizza delivery accidents can result in various injuries that require extensive medical care for a short time or for the rest of your life. If you’ve suffered injuries, you need to seek medical care as soon as possible. If you’ve suffered any of the following injuries in a Las Cruces pizza delivery accident, our lawyers can help you:

Cuts
Bruises
Broken bones or fractures
Spinal injuries
Traumatic brain injuries
Laceration
Whiplash
Internal bleeding
Muscle soreness
Chest injuries

Many minor injuries may resolve within a few days with little medical attention; however, more serious injuries may worsen, exacerbated by the failure to seek medical attention. Further, your future personal injury lawsuit could be affected if you cannot show the full extent of your injuries.

A Las Cruces pizza delivery accident lawyer at our law firm can help protect your legal rights and fight to get you the compensation you deserve for your injuries, no matter how severe they are.

Common Causes of Pizza Delivery Accidents in Las Cruces

Motor vehicle accidents involving pizza delivery drivers may happen in several ways, resulting in serious harm or even death. Understanding the common causes of motor vehicle accidents can help you get a better perspective on your case’s value; below are a few examples:

Speeding

We are all in a hurry at some point in the day; you may be late to school, work, or an extracurricular event. A pizza delivery driver may speed to collect more tips; however, speeding breaks the law and endangers every other driver or passenger on the road.

While speeding, there is a reduced effectiveness of occupant protection equipment, an increased degree of crash severity, and an increased degree of subsequent injuries. If you are on the road and witness a speeder, give them plenty of space and move over, if necessary, as speeding may cause the driver to lose control of their vehicle.

Drunk Driving

Food delivery drivers are not usually breathalyzed before beginning their shifts; unfortunately, this means there is a chance a pizza delivery driver may be drinking and driving. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, approximately 28 people are killed in drunk driving accidents which means that someone dies every 52 minutes.

A 2021 report from the New Mexico Department of Transportation shows that there were 429 total fatalities from motor vehicle accidents in 2021; of this number, 157 were alcohol-related in some way.

Driving while impaired is extremely dangerous, as alcohol reduces the function of the brain and impairs thinking, reasoning, and muscle coordination. Even a small amount of alcohol can affect your ability to drive safely.

Driving in Inclement Weather

The weather is constantly changing in New Mexico, so some pizza delivery drivers may have to work in inclement weather to get paid; however, this may not always be a good idea. Bad weather may create hazards on the road and make it more difficult to control the vehicle. For instance, rain may make the roads slick, while wind may blow an obstacle into the road you cannot avoid.

Below are some tips for driving in poor weather conditions:

Regularly maintain your vehicle before the bad weather begins.
Drive slowly and never speed.
Check the weather forecast before getting behind the wheel.
Pull over to the side of the road if you are feeling unsafe.
Watch for black ice.
Leave enough room between you and another driver.

Running a Red Light

If a pizza delivery driver is in a hurry to make a delivery, they may be tempted to run a red light, a decision that may prove deadly. Running red lights endangers the driver and passengers and poses a significant risk to other road users, pedestrians, and fellow drivers.

The consequences of running red lights can lead to severe collisions, causing extensive property damage, injuries, and even fatalities. Such actions often result from negligence, distracted driving, or reckless behavior, which can make the delivery driver and the company accountable for the damages caused.

In pizza delivery accidents caused by running red lights, determining liability becomes vital in seeking compensation for your injuries and losses. Our experienced legal team is well-versed in investigating these incidents, gathering evidence, and holding the responsible parties accountable. If you’ve been involved in a pizza delivery accident due to someone else’s negligence, don’t hesitate to contact our dedicated attorneys for guidance and legal support.

Alexandria

I just wanted to say thank you so much to Ben Abbas and Neil Solomon. Since my fiance was hit by an 18-wheeler nearly lost his life and now struggles with persistent pain and has to use a cane on top of a litany of other health issues as a result of the accident, Ben and Neil fought hard on my fiance's case because it was a very complex case involving multiple parties. But not only did they fight hard for us on my fiance's case, when the man of the house and the breadwinner is unable to even walk without a walker for a little over a year and has had to spend two years fighting for disability, and as I've been supporting my fiance because that's what you do when you're loyal to who you love but it's difficult when you lose the breadwinner and they're not able to work, Ben and Neil helped us navigate the legal loan process and they have been instrumental in keeping us afloat. They always respond quickly often within a few minutes and get the paperwork processed almost every single time in the same day. We would have lost everything if it wasn't for them. We are so grateful for them and everything they have done for us. There are something like real life superheroes and if you're looking for a law firm from any kind of injury or accident, we strongly recommend them and Zinda Law Group. Because I can almost guarantee nobody will work harder for you than they will
