If you suffered a slip and fall accident while working for Uber Eats, you might be interested in pursuing a claim against Uber Eats. However, Uber Eats will likely not be liable for the slip and fall accident whatsoever. Traditionally, even if an employer is not liable for the incident, employees could file workers’ compensation claims against their employers to at least recover some sort of compensation. However, this would not apply in an Uber Eats slip and fall incident. This is because Uber Eats delivery drivers are not employees. Does this mean that Uber Eats delivery driver can never file claims against Uber Eats? No – this is not the case. Uber Eats could be sued in cases of gross negligence.

If you were injured while picking up a food order at a restaurant or while dropping off the order with the customer, you could actually pursue a claim. Your right to file a claim will be based on the concept of premise liability, which establishes that all property owners owe their guests a duty of care. Property owners have a duty to keep their entire premises safe for guests. If they breach their duty of care by failing to identify and address the hazards present throughout their premises, property owners (whether they are the owners of restaurants or private residences) are putting guests at risk of suffering harm. When a slip and fall accident occurs that directly leads to harm, the property owner could be liable for the harm suffered, meaning that victims could sue. In other words, you could sue a property owner for the harm that you suffered on their premises while you were picking up or dropping off an Uber Eats order.
