Common reasons for pizza delivery accidents in Waco
Pizza delivery drivers are often more likely to cause or be involved in car crashes than other drivers on the road. Many pizza companies guarantee their customers quick deliveries of a fresh hot pizza to their door. To uphold these promises, companies often pressure and incentivize drivers to rush and make these deliveries as quickly as possible. As a result, pizza delivery drivers may be more likely to drive recklessly. Additionally, many delivery drivers are also young without much driving experience.
Some of the most common causes of pizza delivery accidents in Waco include:
- Driver fatigue from spending long hours making deliveries
- Exceeding the speed limit to make deliveries as quickly as possible
- Driving in dangerous conditions such as wet or icy roads
- Driving in unfamiliar areas
- Driving while using navigation apps for directions to delivery locations
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, including stimulants in an attempt to remain alert during long shifts
- Driving while distracted such as by texting, talking, or using social media on a mobile phone
If you have been involved in a collision with a delivery driver, contact our team at Zinda Law Group where your lawyer will gather the facts and evidence of your case to support your claim of how the delivery driver caused your injuries and damages.

Why is liability more complicated for a pizza delivery driver accident?
Liability after car accidents is rarely straightforward, especially when the at-fault driver is driving for business purposes. In many cases, when someone is driving their vehicle for the benefit of a business, the business will be held liable for any accidents caused by that driver because the driver is that business’s employee. However, most pizza delivery drivers are classified as independent contractors of the pizza companies instead of as employees. As a result, these companies do not cover their delivery drivers under their insurance plans. Instead, delivery drivers must use their own insurance policies to cover any accidents.
Even though the drivers are classified as independent contractors of the pizza companies rather than employees, insurance companies will consider the driver to be using the vehicle for business purposes. Plus, pizza companies often fail to inform their delivery drivers that they will need to obtain specific commercial insurance coverage to provide coverage for any accidents while delivering pizzas. As a result, accident victims are often left unable to seek compensation from the pizza company’s insurer or the driver’s personal insurance company for their injuries and damages, leaving these victims with significant financial burdens. Fortunately, the knowledgeable car accident attorneys at Zinda Law Group can use their experience helping other victims of delivery accidents to help you determine who may be liable for your accident.
REQUIREMENTS OF PIZZA DELIVERY DRIVERS
A quick examination of the requirements that pizza companies place on incoming delivery drivers can help us understand the standards and expectations that are placed on the drivers and whether they met those standards when they crashed into you.
Note that under both of the samples we have drawn, there are no extra requirements of drivers than would be expected of the average driver on the road at the application stage. Employers have their own interviewing and training processes that applicants must complete after the application stage:
Papa John’s Requirements for Drivers
Papa John’s only has a few preliminary requirements of prospective pizza delivery drivers. It simply requires that the applicant:
- Be 18 years old or older
- Have insurance
- Have an acceptable driving record
This is just the first stage of the hiring process, so there are additional checks on drivers at the interviewing and training stages. These should also meet industry standards, and if an employer fails to take further precautions to prevent foreseeable harm at later stages of the hiring process, the employer might be negligent. We will discuss the standard of care that employers and employees must perform in more depth in the following sections.
Domino’s Requirements for Drivers
Domino’s lists a few more requirements that Papa John’s does on its hiring website, but one could argue that those extra requirements are implied for an applicant who wants to be a delivery driver. Domino’s requires its drivers to:
- Be 18 years old or older
- Have a valid driver’s license
- Have a safe driving record
- Be able to read a map
- Be able to locate the address
- Be able to “navigate adverse terrain, including multi-story buildings”
- Have access to a vehicle that can be used for delivery
- Have insurance on that vehicle

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.

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.

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. 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! ‹

Who is liable when an accident includes a delivery driver?
With the added complexity of determining liability after an accident involving a pizza delivery driver, a victim’s ability to pursue the maximum compensation will often depend on hiring an experienced car accident attorney. Your attorney can thoroughly investigate your accident and gather evidence to help you determine who may be liable for the injuries you sustained. Depending on the facts of your case, parties who may be liable for any injuries or damages you suffered in the accident include:
Pizza Delivery Driver
As with most car accidents, the at-fault driver will generally be held liable for the accident and any resulting injuries and damages. However, since pizza companies’ insurance coverage does not cover their drivers, and because most drivers’ personal insurance policies do not provide coverage for accidents when the vehicle is being used for commercial purposes, the driver will be personally responsible for your injuries and damages. Unfortunately, many pizza delivery drivers are often young students or otherwise unlikely to be able to fully compensate you for your injuries without an applicable insurance policy. Thus, you may need to determine whether any other parties may also be named in the suit.
Pizza Company
While a pizza company is usually not liable for any accidents caused by their delivery drivers because of the drivers’ status as independent contractors, there are certain exceptions. In some cases, an experienced attorney may be able to hold the pizza company liable for your injuries if the company itself acted negligently and the negligence resulted in your injuries. For example, your attorney may be able to help you prove the pizza company negligently hired the delivery driver despite a history of traffic accidents or citations.
In other cases, your attorney may also be able to prove the driver should be treated as an employee regardless of his or her classification by the pizza company. While courts will rarely treat a pizza delivery driver like an employee for purposes of holding the company liable, the company may have exercised enough control over the driver for them to be treated as an employee. For example, your lawyer may be able to show the driver should be treated as employee in cases where the company:
- Dictated the exact working hours of the driver
- Controlled the routes taken by the driver
- Required the driver to deliver pizzas by a certain time
- Required the driver to wear a company uniform
- Conducted inspections of the driver’s vehicle
- Required the driver to attend mandatory employee meetings
- Subjected the driver to company policies relating to vacation time
- Maintained consistent real-time monitoring of the driver’s routes
- Required the driver to follow the company’s procedure or employment manuals
If the pizza company exercises too much control over the delivery driver and dictates both the required result and how the driver must achieve that result, then your attorney may be able to prove the delivery driver should be treated as the pizza company’s employee by the court. If successful, this means that you will then be able to seek compensation from the pizza company itself for any injuries or damages you suffered in the accident.
Third Parties
Finally, a third party may be liable for the accident in some cases. If your accident was caused by the delivery driver’s brakes failing because of improper maintenance by a mechanic, that mechanic or auto shop where the driver’s car was serviced may be liable for the accident. Similarly, if the accident was caused because of a manufacturing or design defect in the delivery driver’s vehicle, you may be able to hold several parties liable for the defective or malfunctioning part, such as:
- The defective part’s manufacturer
- The vehicle’s manufacturer
- The distributor of the defective part or the vehicle
- The vehicle’s retailer that sold the vehicle to the delivery driver
If you have been injured in a car crash involving a delivery driver, you should call the experienced attorneys at Zinda Law Group as soon as possible for your free consultation. Your injury lawyer will help you pursue maximum compensation for your injuries.

Demanding compensation after a pizza delivery driver accident
In addition to determining liability after your accident, your attorney will also help you seek any compensation you may be entitled to for your injuries and damages, such as:
Medical Expenses
You may be entitled to compensation for any medical expenses you incurred because of the accident. This includes any medical bills for diagnosing or treating your injuries, such as ambulance costs, hospital stays, physical rehabilitation costs, medication, necessary tests or scans, and any other medical expenses.
Property Damage
In addition to compensation for your physical injuries, you may also be entitled to compensation for the damage to your vehicle. Depending on the extent of your vehicle’s damage, this compensation may be the amount necessary to repair your car or to replace it.
Loss of Income
If your injuries caused you to miss work while undergoing treatment or while recovering from your injuries, you may be able to seek compensation for any time you missed because of the accident.
Pain And Suffering
You may also be able to seek compensation for noneconomic damages, such as any pain and suffering you experienced because of the accident. This can include the physical pain caused by your injuries as well as the emotional or mental anguish you suffered, such as depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress.
