A female co-worker of mine was attacked by her instacart driver in her own driveway, there is security camera footage of him attempting to run her over with his car, then getting out and knocking her out cold and beating on her on her front porch.
There was a police report, there is footage, and instacart sent her an apology email. How would she go about setting a lawsuit against instacart? Update: Ok, some update here, apparently the guy was the boyfriend of the actual instacart driver, he was using her profile and car to make the deliveries and get paid. He has apparently fled to new haven according to his GF who spilled the beans to the cops. |

Probably by talking to a lawyer. An apology email? I kind of want to read it, what could they possibly say in response to attempted murder by one of their drivers?

Quoted: Wtf Was the driver ...disrespected perhaps? View Quote The dude delivered 6 bags of groceries to the wrong address, apparently her house is easily confused with her neighbors, when she went to get them the guy was leaving and she told him it was the wrong address. He didn’t take kindly to that and called her a stupid bitch and she said something along the lines of “get a real job asshole”, then he proceeded to try to run her over and beat the shit out of her. She has a concussion, severely bruised face, and two cracked ribs from him kicking her while she was unconscious. ETA: this happened in Waterbury. |

I don’t think she’ll be needing a real job for a while. Did the driver end up in jail? |

Yep. Someone was disrespected.
Prayers for your friends rapid recovery. |

Hire a lawyer (Personal Injury). They will hopefully pick a lucrative path of justice.
Good luck not to Instacart |

WTF, man. I hope she recovers soon and collects a huge pay day.

Quoted:\ How would she go about setting a lawsuit against instacart? View Quote Vicarious liability action in tort for battery. Get a personal injury attorney, sue the driver and Instacart. (Being in the country I've never heard of Instacart and had to look it up ). |

I sure wish an instacart driver would knock me unconscious and break my ribs. I’d be retired by the end of the week. Shit hurts but only for so long. She should get a personal injury lawyer.

If you are having to ask GD advice on what advice to give her, then you probably need to stay out of it and let her friends and family assist her. |

Morgan and Morgan. I would love to see the email from the company that has a violent felon on the payroll. She needs to take pictures of all of her injuries today and now. ! She needs to keep every medical receipt and police report.

Not Instacart’s first rodeo in this realm.
Terms of service, yada yada, maybe a small settlement. |

See if Martin, Harding, and Mazzotti cover CT They are in NY If not they should know someone

I'd bet that she isn't getting anything from Instacart. They aren't the drivers employer, they are just a website .
The driver is 109% responsible. |

Quoted: If the groceries were delivered to the wrong address, then she wasn't the customer. She wasn't limited by the terms of service.

There’s a valuable lesson here: People are used to the idea that workers are going to act with restraint and civilized demeanor Because they are working and representing the Company. It’s not necessarily true at all, for contract workers on the fringe of society. She assumed he was more than just a common criminal, but that was a mistake. |

I wonder if the driver is an employee or an independent contractor. Vicarious liability becomes a little tougher if they are an independent contractor. Think you’d have to prove he was a known shitbag before hiring.
