Common Favor Accidents
Favor delivery drivers use their own personal vehicles for Favor deliveries. Favor classifies personal vehicles as cars, trucks, bicycles, and scooters. As most of the over 40,000 Favor runners use cars and trucks in order to expedite deliveries, they can do a lot of damage if they are not careful on the roadways.
Some of the most common Favor deliveries are:
Car and Truck Accidents
Car accidents with Favor delivery runners are commonly caused by Favor delivery runners not being careful while driving. This makes sense, as they are operating on a short time frame. Delivery runners can maximize their tips and income by making the most deliveries in the shortest period of time.
As Favor wants to make as many deliveries as possible all over Texas, and Favor delivery drivers seek the highest income from making as many deliveries as possible per hour, many Favor delivery drivers may be giving less than full attention to roadway safety.
Unsafe and rushed driving habits are signs of driver negligence, which generally means driving unreasonably, and would tend to legally signal that the Favor driver is at fault for your injuries. The Favor delivery driver, and possibly Favor itself, may be liable for any injuries caused by the Favor delivery driver.
By the Favor driver speeding, not paying full attention, or disobeying any traffic laws – such as running a stop sign or performing an improper lane change – they are acting unreasonably and may be liable to you in damages.
If a Favor delivery driver caused a car accident and injured you, you may be entitled to significant compensation from the Favor driver and potentially against Favor for encouraging unsafe driving by time pressuring their drivers.
Roadway Congestion
As some Favor delivery personnel operate on bicycles and scooters, they may cause an accident by running into a pedestrian or causing a car or truck to swerve, getting into an accident. Thus, if a Favor delivery “runner” has caused you to be injured, both the Favor deliverer and Favor company may be liable for your injuries.
Do I Need a Lawyer?
Typically, if an injured person tries to attain an insurance settlement without the help of an attorney, the insurance company may try to find legal exceptions to paying or may try to pay out significantly less than they are able. In many cases, the insurance company will wrongly claim your fault for the accident through statements gained without attorney advisement. It is advisable to not make any direct statements to the insurance company, but instead, refer them to your experienced accident attorney for any correspondence.
Thus, it is very important to have an experienced attorney fighting on your behalf with the other parties, in court, and with all applicable insurance companies. An attorney can communicate on your behalf so that insurance companies know you are serious about your compensation, and your attorney, in many cases, may seek greater compensation than the insurance company’s initial offer.
Damages A Lawyer May Seek
An experienced attorney knows what evidence to use in order to seek various damages that may increase your potential compensation. These include tangible losses such as property damage, medical bills associated with the treatment of your injuries, future lost wages, disability, as well as “intangible” damages such as pain and suffering.
Pain and suffering can include the actual pain experienced during medical treatments and surgeries incurred as a result of the Favor accident, as well as emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, and fear caused by the accident. Some accident victims find it more difficult to drive at ease after a roadway incident, and this difficulty and anxiety may be quantified into monetary damages by your attorney.
An attorney with experience handling similar cases can know which parties to sue, including not just the Favor driver, but also the Favor corporate company, expanding your potential sources of compensation. Further, an attorney can conduct an in-depth investigation to acquire evidence that can help prove the suspected fault of Favor and the Favor driver, as well as to help prove your damages to the court and insurance companies.
What to Do After a Favor Accident
1. Document the scene of the accident
Take note of any details in order to preserve crucial evidence useful in proving Favor’s fault and demonstrating the full extent of your injuries. If you require any medical attention at a hospital as a result of the accident, the associated costs for these treatments can be sought from the at fault party by your lawyer. This is highly important, as medical costs can be astronomical, and sometimes future medical costs and treatments may be necessary for your recovery.
2. Contact An Attorney
An attorney who has handled similar cases can help you learn your rights, legal deadlines, and can communicate on your behalf with all applicable parties and the court. Further, your attorney can conduct in-depth investigations to secure all possible evidence necessary in seeking your highest compensation from the other parties.
Filing a Claim
Your attorney can take care of all the steps in filing your claim. This includes educating you of your legal rights, conducting in-depth investigations and discovery of evidence about the accident, which are crucial in order to acquire evidence of the other parties’ suspected fault and the extent of your damages and injuries.
Your attorney can also help ensure compliance with any applicable legal time limits and can negotiate with all applicable insurance companies, as well as communicate and advocate on your behalf with the other parties and the court.
It is highly important after an accident to focus on rest, recovery and regaining your life back. Thus, your attorney, by doing all of the legal work on your behalf, can allow you to focus on your recovery while they seek your maximum compensation.
Some cases may result in settlements with insurance companies and the other parties, whom, seeing the evidence your attorney captures, may want to avoid a loss at trial or extended legal costs.
In other cases, your attorney may be able to seek your greatest compensation by taking your case to trial and showing your damages to a jury. Whether they go to trial or not, attorneys work in your best interests to seek maximum compensation.
Compensation
For personal injury cases in Texas, a victim may seek various damages from the at-fault party. These include tangible losses such as:
Medical bills, costs, and treatments
Lost wages
Property damages
An experienced attorney may also seek intangible losses for you, which are called pain and suffering damages. These include any physical pain incurred during medical treatments and surgeries, as well as emotional and psychological damages such as anxiety, fear, and depression caused by the accident.
Your attorney may not only seek losses you have incurred leading up to the time of the claim but can also seek future damages such as necessary future medical costs and enduring emotional trauma.
Thus, an experienced accident lawyer can seek your greatest compensation.
Legal Time Limits
Texas has a statute of limitations, a legal time limit, for bringing accident injury cases. If you or a loved one have been personally injured by a Favor delivery driver, you will generally have two years from the time of the accident to bring an injury claim against Favor and their driver. Your attorney can advise you about the time limit and work on filing your claim within the legal time limit.
The relatively short legal time limit in Texas makes it imperative to seek an experienced attorney as quickly as possible after the accident.

Call (888) 281-6991 to Speak with Personal Injury Lawyers For Free What Is Progressive Insurance? What Types of Insurance Do They Provide? How Large Are They? Progressive Insurance is an incredibly popular car insurance company that is constantly advertising across the United States. They market themselves “progressive” and are leaders in car insurance coverage. Co-founded …
You Should Expect Progressive to Undervalue Your Claim
Progressive, like every other insurance company, is a for-profit corporation. The claims adjusters have incentives to settle claims for less than they are worth. Selling claims short makes the company money.
You need to put yourself in a very strong negotiating position right from the start. Since the insurance industry follows a manual that lists the value of a claim, they will closely adhere to the script, so to speak. You must have the evidence to convince them to deviate from their guidelines.
Be diligent about collecting all of the police reports, medical records, and bills generated from your crash. Also, take photos of your car, the other driver’s car, the scene of the auto accident, and your injuries. A claims adjuster will know that going to trial may lose the company more money, which in turn can cause them to increase their settlement offer if you are well prepared when negotiating.
You Should Expect Progressive to Offer You A Small, Quick Settlement
If you’ve been in a Denver auto accident, Progressive might send an adjuster out to see you if you suffered injuries from the car crash. If you file a claim against a person insured by Progressive, the company will assign a claims adjuster to evaluate the insured and company’s liability to you.
Depending on the situation, the claims adjuster might give you a quick settlement for your trouble shortly after the car accident. Offering a quick settlement puts money in a person’s pocket a few days after the accident. Progressive might also include an agreement to repair your damaged car and cover your medical bills for the 30 days immediately after your auto accident, along with a small amount of money for other damages.
Do I Need a Lawyer?
A quick and easy settlement sounds like a good deal on the surface. If you only have a few bumps and bruises, then it is great. The problem arises when those bumps and bruises are actually more serious injuries. What if you accept the quick settlement, but what you thought were bumps turn out to be nerve damage or a severe sprain? You are stuck.
Taking a settlement offer and signing a release means that you cannot file another claim against the driver Progressive insured. A release is a contract, and its terms may be enforced in court. Therefore, you should not sign a release without having an experienced Denver personal injury attorney review it first.
In fact, the best option might be to reject the quick settlement offer and wait until you are certain that you do not have long lasting injuries and all of your medical treatment is complete before you negotiate in earnest.
