Hit by a car on your e-bike. Doored by a driver on Smith Street. Slipped on grease at the restaurant pickup. Dog bite at the drop-off. Robbed mid-shift. Delivery work is one of the most dangerous jobs in NYC — and most workers don't know they have legal options beyond "hope it heals." We do this work. Call us — it's free, we come to you, and we don't ask about your immigration status.

We move fast — preservation letters to the platform (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Relay, Seamless, individual restaurants) for trip data, GPS, and incident timing. Police report. Photos from your phone. Witness statements. ER records. We handle all of it so you can heal.
Delivery worker cases usually have multiple recoverable sources: the at-fault driver's auto policy, the platform's contingent commercial policy (often $1M+ during active delivery), workers' comp (if you're an employee), occupational accident coverage (if you're a 1099 gig worker on certain platforms), and your own UM/UIM if you have personal auto coverage. We identify and pursue every one.
We don't get paid unless we win. No upfront cost. No hidden fees. If your case settles or wins at trial, our fee comes from the recovery — never out of your pocket. We coordinate trial counsel when the case warrants it under NY co-counsel rules.
Every case is different. The recoverable damages depend on your injuries, the insurance available, and the facts of your case.
By NYC law (Executive Order 41), police, EMS, and hospitals do not ask or share immigration status. We don't ask either. You have full access to the civil court system regardless of status — federal courts have repeatedly confirmed undocumented workers can sue and recover damages for injuries on the job in New York.
If you're classified as an employee (W-2), you likely have workers' comp coverage AND a third-party PI claim against the at-fault driver. If you're a 1099 gig worker for DoorDash / Uber Eats / Grubhub / Relay, you generally don't have NY workers' comp — but you may have occupational accident coverage through the platform, and you still have a full third-party PI claim. We figure out which buckets apply to you.
Insurance adjusters call within days of an accident offering a quick settlement. They aren't your friend. The first offer is almost always a fraction of what your case is worth. Don't sign a release. Don't give a recorded statement. Call us first — it's free.
In NY, most personal-injury claims must be filed within 3 years of the accident. Claims against city agencies (NYPD vehicle, FDNY vehicle, MTA bus) require a 90-day notice of claim. Don't wait.
We answer 24/7. Free consultation. We come to your hospital bed, your home, or wherever you are. No fee unless we win.
