With nearly 200 years of combined legal experience, the Washington, D.C., DoorDash driver attorneys at Regan Zambri Long have an excellent reputation for achieving results. All six partners have been named to the Lawdragon 500 Leading Plaintiff Consumer Lawyers list and have secured settlements of up to $10 million in compensation for individual car accident victims.
Our personal injury attorneys have an expert understanding of DC law and DoorDash’s insurance policies and know how to secure justice after delivery-related crashes. DoorDash provides up to $1 million in commercial auto liability coverage, but it only applies during active deliveries. Otherwise, a driver’s personal insurance may be the only option. We carefully examine whether the driver was on duty, properly insured, or misclassified as an independent contractor to ensure you receive full compensation.

Unlike traditional employees, DoorDash drivers are classified as independent contractors. That distinction makes a big difference after a crash. When you’re hit by a delivery driver, the legal and insurance landscape is more complicated than a typical fender bender.
Here’s why:
In the final quarter of 2024 alone, DoorDash reported 685 million orders, showing just how many of these vehicles are in operation. If you were involved in an accident in the DC Metro area with a DoorDash driver, contact Regan Zambri Long as soon as possible to speak with our attorney.
DoorDash provides a $1 million commercial auto liability policy, but it only kicks in under specific conditions:
If the DoorDash app was off, then only the driver’s personal insurance applies. If the app was on, but the driver hadn’t accepted a delivery yet, there may still be gaps in coverage.
That’s why working with an auto accident attorney in DC who understands how to uncover the details and hold the right parties accountable is so important.
If you’ve been in an accident involving a DoorDash driver in DC, here’s what you should do right away:

But in some cases, DoorDash could be held liable, especially if the company failed to screen drivers properly, pushed unsafe delivery quotas, or created policies that contributed to dangerous driving.
Our legal team will investigate all potential avenues for compensation, including personal insurance policies, commercial coverage, and possible corporate liability.
If you were injured in a crash involving a DoorDash driver, you may be able to recover damages for:
Every case is different. The value of your claim will depend on the severity of your injuries, how clear liability is, and the insurance coverage available.
There’s no set timeline for these cases. Some resolve quickly through insurance negotiations, while others may require litigation. Factors that can affect your case duration include:
At Regan Zambri Long, we push for fair settlements—but we’re fully prepared to go to court if necessary.
