Why it matters who they work for
In Texas, an employer can be legally responsible for a crash caused by an employee driving within the scope of their job. Companies may also be liable for hiring unsafe drivers, failing to train them or skipping vehicle maintenance.
The hard part is often figuring out the relationship — employee, contractor or gig worker — and which policy applies. That’s where we start.
Package delivery has exploded across DFW and Greater Houston. Drivers juggle dozens of stops an hour, use phones for routing and park in traffic lanes. Many delivery companies use contractor networks, which makes finding the right insurer harder. We trace the chain from the driver to the delivery partner to the company whose name is on the box.
If a city, county or state vehicle hit you, Texas law can require written notice within months, not years. Call us right away.
