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.
OUR EXPERIENCED DELIVERY DRIVER ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS CAN HELP!
While many people in Texas seek the convenience of quick merchandise delivery from Favor, this should not excuse Favor delivery drivers from driving safely and cautiously.

A pedestrian accident occurs when a motor vehicle collides with a person on foot. These accidents may occur in a number of different ways and can cause serious injury, or even death, to the pedestrian, as the person on foot does not have the same protection as the individual in the motor vehicle. That’s why it’s important to know experienced Arizona pedestrian accident lawyers.
If you have been hit by a car in Arizona, call one of our experienced pedestrian accident attorneys at Zinda Law Group as soon as possible. Our knowledgeable attorneys are available to our clients 24, 7 and have the resources and ability to guide you through the entire legal process of filing a claim for compensation for your injuries. Call our Arizona team today at (800) 863-5312; as always, your initial consultation is 100% free, and you do not pay us anything unless we are successful in wining your unique case.
Common Causes of Arizona Pedestrian Accidents
Understanding the possible causes of pedestrian accidents and related safety tips may help you from becoming injured. If you have been injured by a motor vehicle, however, contact a pedestrian accident lawyer at Zinda Law Group as soon as possible to discuss your case.
There are many different causes of pedestrian accidents. They may be caused by a distracted driver, a negligent driver, or from an inexperienced driver. Whatever the cause, our experienced pedestrian accident attorneys may be able to help you investigate your case, determine fault, and begin your pedestrian accident lawsuit. Below are examples of causes of pedestrian accidents:
Distracted Driver
Distracted driving causes injuries to hundreds of thousands of individuals in the United States each year. In 2018 alone, there were 2,800 people killed due to a distracted driver; of this number, one in every five killed were pedestrians—either walking, riding their bikes, or otherwise outside of any motor vehicle.
Distracted driving includes behaviors such as driving while eating, texting, playing with the radio, talking to other passengers, or anything that takes the driver’s attention away from the act of driving. If you were injured due to a distracted driver, call one of our pedestrian accident lawyers today.
Failure to Yield at a Right of Way
A right of way may indicate that either motor vehicles or pedestrians have the right to cross the street first. For example, if a traffic signal directs a pedestrian to cross the street, a motor vehicle driver must allow the pedestrian to cross before driving through the crosswalk area. On the other hand, a pedestrian cannot cross the street in front of traffic if there is no signal indicating that it is safe to do so.
Failure to yield to a right of way may cause a vehicle to crash into a pedestrian, causing serious harm or even death. If you were injured at a crosswalk, contact a pedestrian accident law firm to determine whether or not you have a potential lawsuit.
Driving Under the Influence
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is always a bad idea because intoxication slows your reaction time, affects your motor skills, and reduces your concentration, among other risks. Drinking and driving is also against the law, with federal regulations prohibiting anyone from driving with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 percent or higher. If you were injured by a driver and believe they had been drinking, contact a Zinda Law Group pedestrian accident lawyer as soon as possible.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has put forth a number of pedestrian safety tips to keep in mind when out for a walk or jog:
1. Carry a flashlight or wear reflective clothing to increase your visibility.
2. Only cross the street at designated crosswalks.
3. If possible, only walk on the sidewalk or on a pathway; if you have to walk on the road, walk on the shoulder and face traffic.
4. Avoid distractions such as earbuds or walking after consuming drugs or alcohol.
Unfortunately, you may still be involved in a pedestrian accident even if you are taking all the proper precautions. If you were hit by a motor vehicle while walking, you may need to contact a pedestrian accident law firm in Arizona. Our experienced attorneys can walk you through the entire legal process and help you receive the maximum amount of compensation available in your case.
Types of pedestrian accident injuries in Arizona
Depending on different factors, such as the speed of the vehicle and how you were hit, you may be suffering from a wide array of injuries; these injuries may be relatively minor, such as light bruising, or they may be life-threatening. No matter your injuries, the right pedestrian accident lawyer will be able to help you seek the maximum amount of compensation available in your type of case. Below are examples of potential injuries resulting from a pedestrian accident:
If you have been hit by a car while walking, you may suffer from a violent blow to your head, causing a traumatic brain injury. Traumatic brain injuries can be extremely dangerous and may result in long-term physical and psychological effects. These injuries are categorized as either “mild,” “moderate,” or “severe,” with each category having a wide range of symptoms.
Symptoms of mild traumatic brain injuries include:
Headache
Nausea or vomiting
Dizziness
Blurred vision
Sensitivity to light
Memory or concentration problems
Changes in sleep patterns
Symptoms of moderate to severe brain injuries include any symptoms of a mild brain injury, as well as:
Loss of consciousness from several minutes to hours
Convulsions or seizures
Pupil dilation
Weakness in fingers or toes
Profound confusion
Slurred speech
Coma
Always seek immediate medical attention if you or your child has received a blow to the head, as you may be suffering from a traumatic brain injury. Even a mild brain injury may need prompt medical attention.
Fractures, or broken bones, are painful injuries that require immediate medical care. There are several different kinds of fractures that may occur due to a pedestrian accident. Examples of different kinds of fractures include:
Closed Fracture: A closed fracture refers to an injury that does not break open the skin.
Open Fracture: If the skin opens due to the injury, the break is referred to as an open or compound fracture.
Complete Fracture: A complete fracture occurs when the break goes completely through the bone, separating it in two.
Partial Fracture: If the break does not go completely through the bone, it is referred to as a partial fracture.
If you believe you may have broken a bone, seek medical attention. A medical professional will be able to properly diagnose the injury and treat it accordingly. Next, contact a knowledgeable to help get you the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
Another serious injury that may result from a pedestrian accident is a spinal cord injury; this injury occurs when there is damage to any part of the spinal cord or nearby nerves. Spinal cord injuries may affect your ability to control certain limbs, depending on where the injury occurred on the spinal cord. There are two types of spinal cord injuries:
Complete: A complete spinal cord injury occurs when all feeling and motor function is lost below the site of the injury.
Incomplete: If the victim has some motor function or sensory function below the affected area, the injury is referred to as incomplete.
If you have been involved in a pedestrian accident, there are a number of signs and symptoms that may indicate a spinal cord injury. These signs include:
Extreme back pain or pressure
Weakness, incoordination, or paralysis
Numbness in hands, fingers, feet, or toes
Loss of bladder or bowel control
Oddly twisted neck or back
When you have suffered from significant trauma to your head or neck, seek immediate medical attention from a medical professional. If you or your loved one was injured in a pedestrian accident, contact a knowledgeable pedestrian accident attorney at Zinda Law Group as soon as possible. Our attorneys have ample experience in getting our clients compensation for their physical and mental injuries, and we may be able to help you too.
