I'm an Amazon DSP/Flex driver hurt in a crash. What are my rights?

If you were delivering for Amazon when another driver caused your crash, you may have a Pennsylvania workers' compensation claim through your DSP employer and a separate third-party personal injury claim against the at-fault driver. Amazon Flex drivers may also have coverage through a commercial policy.

Does it matter that I work for a Delivery Service Partner, not Amazon directly?

No, it does not limit your right to recover. DSP drivers are typically employees of the DSP and eligible for workers' comp, and any driver may pursue a third-party claim against the person who caused the crash.

What does workers' comp cover for an Amazon driver?

It covers your medical treatment and about two-thirds of your lost wages while you cannot work. It does not cover pain and suffering, which is why the third-party claim is so important.

How much does it cost to hire a lawyer?

Amazon DSP Drivers Face Unique Risks

Amazon Delivery Service Partner (DSP) drivers face some of the highest accident rates in the industry. Tight delivery windows, heavy packages, unfamiliar neighborhoods, and pressure to meet quotas create dangerous conditions. If you were hurt in a crash while delivering for Amazon, you deserve full compensation.

Your Two Claims as an Amazon Driver

Here is what most Amazon drivers do not realize: if another driver caused your accident, you likely have TWO separate legal claims:

Workers' Compensation Claim: Through your DSP employer. Covers medical bills and partial wage replacement regardless of fault.
Personal Injury Claim: Against the at-fault driver. Covers pain and suffering, full lost wages, and future earnings - things workers' comp does not pay.

Why Two Claims Matters

Workers' comp only pays about 2/3 of your wages and zero for pain and suffering. The personal injury claim against the at-fault driver fills that gap. Together, these claims can double or triple your total recovery.

Common Amazon Driver Accident Scenarios

Rear-ended while stopped for a delivery
T-boned at an intersection while on route
Hit by a distracted driver in a residential area
Struck while entering/exiting the delivery van
Multi-vehicle accidents on highways between stops

DSP vs. Amazon: Who Is Responsible?

Amazon uses a contractor model where you work for a Delivery Service Partner (DSP), not Amazon directly. This can complicate your workers' comp claim. Your DSP should have workers' compensation insurance, but some try to deny coverage or classify drivers as independent contractors.

We know how to navigate these complexities and fight for your full benefits - whether your DSP cooperates or not.
