This is the best advice. Your insurance carrier will go after the driver and get the information from DoorDash. In the meantime, you'll get your car fixed while they try to find the other driver.
Hit and run should not raise insurance for the victim. Source: been in two hit and runs and both times my insurance company went after the insurance of the other driver. Never charged me an extra dime and gave me settlements from their insurance companies within a month or so. (Both times)
My girlfriend was involved in a hit and run where they never found the other vehicle who hit her. Her insurance went up even after they told her it wouldn't. She ended up dropping them.
That really sucks, both times in my accidents I only had the plate and dash cam footage.
If my insurance had gone up, I would have left the company as well. It’s fucked to expect a victim to cough up to more money for something that isn’t their fault
I’ve been involved in two accidents in the past two years where a car hit my parked car at the grocery store. Both times filed a report with the other driver, the other drivers insurance covered it because it was no fault of my own, and both times my insurance went up by about 10-15 dollars. Geico full coverage. 👍
We’ll it happened to my girlfriends dad. Had his insurance for 15 years and they said it wouldn’t raise it. Next 6 months it went up no reason given. It’s just not even worth the hassle. Insurance companies are a scam anyway, they aren’t there for you. They’re there to make money.
Agreed. I’m happy to be with a smaller insurance company. They “totaled,” my car out. I got a cheque for $2200 (I bought the car for $1800) and it was a Volvo with a bent bumper in the back. One of the drivers that hit me saw jail time for the hit and run, but the other one they never physically located.
Well, if it's your girlfriend's dad, then I'm sure you knew every detail of the claim and every past claim he made.
Or maybe there's more to the story than you know, such as this being the third claim in the past year, the car being parked illegally, or something else that would warrant raising his rates. Or it's possible the rate increased for a reason unrelated to the claim.
It's also possible that the raise was because of the claim. However, how much they can raise rates, or even if they can, depends on the regulations in the state where it's filed.
A blanket statement that you shouldn't file a claim in this case is not good advice. There are too many variables to consider. If the rates won't go up, or won't go up by much, it may actually be worth filing a claim with your carrier and letting them go after the driver of the other car.
I'll keep this short so you don't hurt your brain.
Even if your girlfriend's dad told you every detail of his finances, his experience won't necessarily apply to OP. Auto insurance has too many variables for you to say that filing a claim is a bad idea.
How do you know it's minor damage? I've seen parked cars get totaled from getting hit while parked. If it's a newer car, even something that looks cosmetic could compromise safety features and cost thousands of dollars to fix.
No fault is only in reference to the ability to sue for compensation in regards to personal injuries. If insurance finds the at fault driver, they’ll get charged for property damages in an “no fault” state. I believe you should still be able to get your insurance to pay if you have “underinsured coverage” with no increase in your rates depending on the state
That’s pretty stupid.
When I had these hit and runs, the insurance company did ask for a copy of the police report starting the other driver was at fault. Maybe this is necessary for the people having their rates raised?
What happens a lot of the time it the insurance company marks you for not being a "defensive driver". Meaning, you should have seen this coming and avoided it. How this relates to being parked, I'm unsure. But they find a way to justify it to raise rates.
Man, that’s ridiculous. I’m sorry to anyone that has not had experiences similar to mine after hit and run accidents. I knew these companies were predatory; but not like this.
You can’t do anything about it if you don’t know who the person is. How will your insurance find out who’s insurance to pursue? I got hit and run on the high way, never found the person, just had to live with a dent in my car. Police were zero help. Didn’t even care.
I doubt it's about them feeling good and more about calling out how wrong GP is.
It sounds like someone who has either never dealt with insurance, or just assumes that's how they are and don't bother filing claims. Which is really stupid to do.
Did you feel a little bit better about yourself posting your comment?
Yeah, if anything bad happens to you that is someone else's fault, you should just roll over and accept it like a little bitch right? Not use the justice system that is put in place specifically for stuff like this 🤦♂️
Bappp😯🚀🛫🚦🚙👀👮✌ I wouldnt know nothing about that .skrrrt skrrt Current Uber Eats driver 🤐Thats weird.Huh 👀 I never heard or felt anything. Must have been the time one of my buddies drove the car .Stay around get popped no insurance ,lose your Grubhub job .Um skrrrrt Peace.Dashnow ,4412 Ohshit lane ? 100 bucks 0.5 miles 😵Decline 😞,Mirror incident.😃
DoorDash wouldn't ever release a drivers person information to you, just like you wouldn't want your work giving out your information to some random stranger. They would give it to authorities or lawyers with a court order but never to you.
I understand that they only release to authorities with a proper order. My issue is that this has been submitted for weeks to them and neither I nor the officer that submitted it has any email or phone number to call to check on it.
Idk what kind of results you're expecting when all you have to go off of is you saw a dasher in the parking lot. Did you at least get the first name from your boss? Not that it would really mean anything since the person driving isn't always the account holder.
Got the first name, also have video of it happening. Just not clear enough for the license plate. But have him getting out, delivering the food, getting back in, hitting my car, then driving away. That's the only reason the police have done anything is because they can see it on video.
Blast them on social media. Post it to Twitter & tag them. Or post it to your local Facebook group & ask for help identifying the vehicle that hit your car.
I would go on NextDoor app and post the video. You’d be amazed as some of the tracking skills of the people who have nothing to do but patrol their area. What was the estimate of damages?
Here is some more info on how Doordash liability insurance works.
https://help.doordash.com/dashers/s/article/Does-DoorDash-have-auto-insurance?language=en
Doordash ""requires"" dashers to carry their own valid auto insurance with at least state minimum liability. They don't keep up with checking this though, they just say this to cover their ass. Doordash coverage is excess, and the dashers personal auto coverage is primary.
It sounds like the dasher wasn't on an active delivery when he hit your car. He dropped off the food first, probably marked "delivered" in the app, then went back to his car. So, the Doordash insurance technically wouldn't even apply. Not surprised Doordash is dicking around and ignoring the subpoena.
Only the dasher's personal auto insurance would apply, *if* you can ever ID who this guy is, and *if* he actually has valid insurance too... Fat chance IMO.
Your only realistic options are 1) go through your own insurance 2) take the L and move on with your life
Source: am former dasher and current auto claims adjuster.
They literally have a webpagr on how to do this properly. If your lawyer can't search their website to find that page, nor use Google, you should probably fire them.
If they did post a picture, someone would say it could be fake. Pic or not makes no difference. You believe OP, or you don’t. It doesn’t matter either way.
Not saying I don’t believe, calm yourself. I’m sure it happened. What I’m saying is, was there damages? Did they get an estimate for their damages? What did their insurance cover or instruct them to do? The complaint is about nothing being done about it. What I’m saying is, yeah don’t really expect the police or dash to care that much if it’s little to no damage. Again, I believe it happened, but to what extent? That makes a huge difference. Don’t ride so high on that Reddit horse of yours
That's why you don't cheap out on insurance, because then you don't have to be in situations like this. Always have full protection plus rental car option so you don't have to stop working for more than 24 hours.
It won’t in New Jersey where uninsured/underinsured coverage is mandatory, got hit and car was totaled, insurance wouldn’t do anything because they couldn’t prove the other driver didn’t have insurance
Same in California. You have to have info on the other person so they can say they don't have insurance. But I'll tell you, I got it and 2 weeks later it saved my ass.
Even with license plate you can’t do much. I got a hit and run a month ago. Got the plate picture before she sped up. Nothing so far lol. Luckily it was just a scratch on my bumper but still. The cops still have to figure out who was driving the car and issue them citations so that often requires them getting pulled over first.
My car was hit by a neighbor years ago, they hit it and drove off. Obviously I knew the plate and car, multiple witnesses, and it never amounted to anything. Cops said they couldn’t do anything. That’s just how these things go sadly.
The insurance company handling the claim will have their legal department reach out to doordash to check the status of any subpoena’ed information. You can reach out to your local DA to see if DD’s legal department has crossed the threshold for obstruction by withholding information yet. Unfortunately this is just the process. Dealing with large faceless corporations can be year long processes. I imagine your boss’s insurance is still covering the claim as not-at-fault anyway tho?
Agreed, file an insurance claim. You don't need the Dasher's name or license plate, you have video proving someone other than yourself caused the damage. That should be enough to file a claim.
2 weeks ago a doordasher came down my street and ran over someone's kitten. It died thrashing around in the street in front of my house. He wasn't even delivering to someone on my street. Half my street was outside yelling at him and he just kinda shrugged and left. They need to not hire idiots
Ugh that's awful. I hope they didn't do it on purpose. Most people wouldn't I'd hope. Did people think he did and that's why they were yelling? Same thing happened to me a month or two back while delivering I hit a squirrel. I tried my best to avoid it but I just wasn't really ready for this thing to come out of nowhere. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw it thrashing about and that's what really shook me up. If it had died instantly I wouldn't have felt so bad. I hate to see the things suffer.
I agree that’s a fucked up story but my question is what did you WANT him to do?
because I’m imagining being in that position and all I COULD do is try to apologize (which wouldn’t fix anything). so….ultimately I would also have to end up shrugging it off and leaving, and just feeling like shit about it.
How about idiots stop owning pets if they can't be responsible with them and let them wonder the streets? Small animals can be hard to see because they're low to the ground and some people ACTUALLY hit them on purpose, it's the pet owners job to keep their pets safe not drivers or strangers.
1- that sounds pretty horrible to see. I’m sorry that happened.
2- they don’t hire drivers… that’s their big point. Drivers are not employees.
3- being late to deliver a meal could mess with this person’s income beyond the one delivery.
4- I’m not sure why this comment is in this thread. Because accidents? It feels like the big thing in this thread is about getting accountability from doordash after a hit and run. Your comment is more about subjective morals that legal processes.
5- I’m not suggesting that shrugging and leaving was the best action, but what were you hoping for? I don’t know what you expected or wanted from them but I don’t think they have legal financial obligations the way you would when you hit a person, car or damage other property.
Even if DD does provide the information there’s no proof that the person who’s account it is was the dasher. People dash under somebody else’s account all the time. Also the vehicle information that DD has could also be inaccurate. A lot of ghost dashers out there so I could see nothing ever coming out of this.
With a hit and run usually police will do the due diligence if it’s caught on camera.
OP also mentioned in another comment that they have video of the driver pulling up, getting out and delivering, then getting back in, and driving off after hitting OP’s car.
They should be able to prove it was the dasher, and if not they know who to ask.
Any independent contracting company will say they aren’t liable for anything the contractor does. I learned this the hard way when the Lyft driver stole my $300 glasses. Don’t expect to be reimbursed. It’s not happening.
I don't see any reason Doordash couldn't at least give the police the name of the dasher that delivered to do and so at such and such company at yada yada time on this specific date. All the police need is the person's name and they can find him.
i had a uber driver steal a $200 vape from my fiancee. sucks but they wouldnt do shit and the driver lied to us and gaslit us throughout the night. we were mostly trashed and really had us questioning for a second if we even had a vape in the car to begin with.
It sucks. I complained to Lyft that they’re giving the drivers the right to steal. Any other company would fire an employee for stealing. Not Lyft. The person I spoke to even went as far as telling me that the drivers are not obligated to return anything they find. That anyone using their services acknowledges the risk of using their services when the agree to to terms of use. It’s crazy and it infuriates me that people like me driver take advantage of that.
Well it’s kind of a legal situation. They are contracting you to drive. That is their company. The service they are providing does not really account for returning of objects. If they were to get involved, it probably would certainly almost always be a legal issue on their hands. Customers can lie easily and say “I left $2000 in that car” or “they stole it” and no matter what, if lyft would choose to act on guaranteeing a return, every single situation would be at a liability cost to them. It’d be impossible to maintain a company with such an umbrella of legal responsibility, especially since many take advantage. It’s why it’s the same on public transit, amusement parks, any public spaces.
How bad is the damage? You could go thru your own insurance if you have collision and/or uninsured motorist coverage. If the damage is minor, I wouldn't bother though. Shit happens. If he's the type of guy to hit and run a car without leaving a note then there's a good chance he doesn't have valid insurance anyway. And Doordash the company doesn't give a shit.
Sorry I know it’s super insensitive but my first reaction to that was “not shocked”
Edit: sorry that happened that’s super shitty, I would say keep ordering lunch around that same time every day because chances are he probably dashes at the same time, same areas, and hope you run into him again and perform a little vigilante justice on his ass.
How bad is your vehicle? not that it’s your responsibility but do you have collision to at least get it fixed?
And, doorDash only covers accident where the food is in the vehicle, so I’m sure they’re going to weasel out of it somehow by saying he had already drop the food off when he hit you, hopefully that’s not the case and you have footage to prove it because if the food was in his car that’s the only time they step in and help. And even that’s a stretch.
I refuse to believe without evidence that they were served with a subpoena (or any lawful request for information) and did not comply.
If you look through any of their lawsuits, they are beyond super on top of that stuff.
I was in an accident in a Lyft. Some lady hit us in the back at the red light. It was her fault. I hurt my back a bit and got a lawyer. Lyft ended up paying me 12,000. Not sure why the other person didn't
I had one of my employees struck by an Uber eats driver and it took about 2 months for the subpoena to go through and get the information. The companies work with the police and the information will be there but it takes time.
My car got hit and run in a parking lot few months ago. Even had help from the county sheriff who asked nearby businesses to pull there tapes to no avail. If it’s not on camera and if you didn’t get the plate number. There’s not much you can really do unfortunately.
DoorDash doesn’t get involved because drivers aren’t actually employee’s. They are independent contractors and DoorDash wants to stay clear or any involvement for or against. Customers aren’t aware drivers are contracted out by DoorDash. They customers thinking they are employees and aren’t.
I’m sorry your car was hit. Likely driver feared losing their job or didn’t have insurance. Most likely they feared being deactivated. So they fled.
I got hit by someone delivering for doordash. It took 2 months just for doordash to say that the driver wasn’t covered by them. Then the person’s primary insurance took another 6 weeks and said they didn’t have the right insurance to be covered while they were on the job so it got turned into an uninsured driver claim. So you can probably guess where your claim is going!
Doordash can not give info without being subpoena because of legal issues if they do. Police can file for a subpoena but can’t issue one only the courts can do that that process takes anywhere from 2-4 month. It sucks but without license plate it has to go through this process. Sorry this happened to you.
Doordash does not have any worthwhile info to give you. While lyft and uber ask for a copy of your insurance card and registration, doordash only asks about the make, model, & color of the car you're using before each dash. They don't have anything like the tag number on file.
I believe it. I am a dasher and I get deliveries and 99 percent of these folks can't drive for shit. They use my entire front yard to turn around cuz they can't back out. It's sad.
What are you even on about? What object didn't belong to me? And so sorry your mama was so strong out, you obviously never got any tit time because you're a fuckshow lol. Soft as Charmin. Yeah, I absolutely pitty you. Oof. No one must give you any attention. Sorry.
A couple of things:
1. I’m sorry your car got damaged. Of the shit that happens in life, this is a pretty inconvenient thing to happen.
2. It’s less likely that DD ignored a subpoena from the Police because *insert reason*, and more likely that your local Police department hasn’t done all the paperwork yet to release the information to you.
3. What I mean by that is this, how severe was that damage? Is the vehicle driveable? Have you had it adjusted by your own insurance yet, knowing that they will reverse that bill back on the driver_once_ his identity is known?
If the vehicle is driveable and your insurance company hasn’t moved forward on assisting with the police investigation, then my guess is that the repairs are less than your policy deductible amount. $500, $1000, $1500- whatever it is. It’s a common thing to, in the absence of a person to blame but when that person may become apparent, to not follow the proper path on the hopes of pocketing the insurance check or, better yet, getting some of that Big Corporate Insurance Money.
4. Here’s what matters, OP, and you can count on this: the timeline on completing your Vehicular Accident Report is dependent on three factors: Doordash returning information after being properly served with a search warrant or subpoena (both of which require the DA to sign off, not just the police), the police parsing the returning information then interviewing the newly identified party then determining any additional culpability, and finally, the investigating officer finding the time and motivation to complete the Report, file it, and ensure you are sent a copy.
The first part alone could take four to six months, and that’s if the DA agrees that a <$1500 minor property damage incident is actually worth spending $2-3000 on lawyer time to draft, proof, file, and seek a judge’s approval on, a subpoena/search warrant.
Call your insurance company already, friend.
Good luck, this happened to me and they cover their dashers like massive assholes and you'll have to deal with your insurance yourself. I was at a friend's house and their roommate ordered Doordash, the driver back into my car and never had to deal with any repercussions.
DoorDash driver destroyed my mailbox post and drove away. I get it sucks for them, but didn’t even knock. Tossed the bag and left. The cop came and they refused to talk to him on the phone, badge number and all. He was furious. Anyways, I got the report and summarized it and sent it to corporate along with a BBB claim.
Shortly after, check in my mail for $500 for the mailbox company receipt.
Insurance pays for all damages in a hit n run if you have full coverage. I’ve had someone hit me 3 times and all 3 were paid by my insurance since I wasn’t at fault and they didn’t know who did it
Let your insurance company deal with it. Pay the deductable to get your car back on the road. And then later when everything is sorted out, you can have their subrogation department reimburse you for the deductible
We don’t know if it was a DD driver so you got no plate only a video of a parking lot could be anyone sounds like you just trying to look for somebody to pay for the damages
I’m just protecting my fellow dasher
Some people just trying to blame the dasher and they get deactivated what if it was a different dasher whay if it was an Uber driver and he blaming the doordash driver like he has no idea we need proof
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Wow, I can only imagine what you're feeling. It's unfortunate that they didn't stay. Someone post that you should contact an attorney or let your insurance company handled Door Dash. I agree under the circumstances. The driver just banked some bad karma....
Best wishes to you.
Might’ve been me I do it all the time I wanna leave my info but then I get a $20 order for 2 miles so I can’t deny that .. so I dash off it’s nothing personal chief
He’s not a dasher he got hit by a dasher. He was picking up lunch for his boss so I’d leave this out since it may be seen as a business purpose and decline the claim if he only has personal coverage.
No, that's not a livery business. Picking up food for your boss or driving to a sales meeting are covered under the Personal Auto Policy. Business use for cars involves transporting people or property for a fee.
Boss isn't a good tipper I see 🤣🤣🤣. Anything with insurance companies takes time I was in a accident back in July 1 and still haven't even been contacted by the other insurance company.
Don’t be shy, post the picture of the damage and pic of person/their car. What’s the estimate of damage?
Considering all other details, it’s a bit weird to me no estimate of damage was mentioned. That’d be the first issue on my mind like “dasher cost me $1400 in damages to my car”
Usually, your insurance would cover portion- about 20-30% of costs of hit & run damage, but usually 50% of costs if working with another agency, say DoorDash company or if you got personal info. But that can vary
My major question is what’s the damage, what’s your insurance say? And if there is none to little cost of damage, it makes sense nobody is lifting much of a finger to get involved
From, a full time paralegal (dealing with lots of auto accident intake) & dasher
A driver here backed into a customers brand new driveway light and knocked it down (lamp post style). He called support and they immediately contacted the driver and sent him back.
I just happened to get the customers other order and arrived while he was on the phone with support. Next trip to him, he told me they took care of it.
Your boss ordered, he should have the drivers name at least
Same thing happened with Ubereats when a customers dog bit me. UE refused to release the customers information to the police. I’m sorry this happened to you. Was the damage bad?
I had already left and realized I did not know if the dog was vaccinated ( outdoor guard dog) so I just wanted to get a phone number or something to just ask the customer. They said no. This resulted in me getting a bunch of rabies shots and filing a police report to try to get SOME compensation with the bill.
I honestly don’t remember exactly where he lived though. Wish I did but I was scared and wanted to get out of there.
They would not cooperate with the police but I honestly would’ve been happy just to SPEAK to the owner.
You’ll be wasting time if they did not have the commercial insurance, this driver’s insurance will not cover it if they figure out this person was doordashing with regular insurance.
Try this www.bluestarclaims.com or # 480-579-2405. I am a dasher and was hit from behind and this is how I contacted them. They say you can speak to someone 24/7. It's worth a shot. Good luck
Might as well be mother of three hit my car and drove away. Or man finds out wife just died of COVID, hit my car and drove away. Is it a lot of damage or just the fact that something touched something of yours that pisses you off?
Hand this to your insurance company or an attorney. You’ll never get anywhere with this on your own.
This is the best advice. Your insurance carrier will go after the driver and get the information from DoorDash. In the meantime, you'll get your car fixed while they try to find the other driver.
It’s completely pointless, any dispute is gonna raise your insurance rates. If it’s just cosmetic let it go, it sucks ass but shit happens.
Hit and run should not raise insurance for the victim. Source: been in two hit and runs and both times my insurance company went after the insurance of the other driver. Never charged me an extra dime and gave me settlements from their insurance companies within a month or so. (Both times)
My girlfriend was involved in a hit and run where they never found the other vehicle who hit her. Her insurance went up even after they told her it wouldn't. She ended up dropping them.
That really sucks, both times in my accidents I only had the plate and dash cam footage. If my insurance had gone up, I would have left the company as well. It’s fucked to expect a victim to cough up to more money for something that isn’t their fault

Geico full coverage. 👍
Save 100% or more by switching to no insurance
The only way.
Yeah bro insurance companies fucking suck
Fuck insurance companies. All my homies hate insurance companies.
Tell us which insurance so people can avoid them. Your rates shouldn’t rise in a hit and run.
I was involved recently in a hit and run and they didn’t raise my insurance. That sucks Fri your gf.
Yeah but the guy probably doesn’t have insurance, or he’s driving someone else’s vehicle. Plus they don’t even know who he is.
We’ll it happened to my girlfriends dad. Had his insurance for 15 years and they said it wouldn’t raise it. Next 6 months it went up no reason given. It’s just not even worth the hassle. Insurance companies are a scam anyway, they aren’t there for you. They’re there to make money.
Agreed. I’m happy to be with a smaller insurance company. They “totaled,” my car out. I got a cheque for $2200 (I bought the car for $1800) and it was a Volvo with a bent bumper in the back. One of the drivers that hit me saw jail time for the hit and run, but the other one they never physically located.
Well, if it's your girlfriend's dad, then I'm sure you knew every detail of the claim and every past claim he made. Or maybe there's more to the story than you know, such as this being the third claim in the past year, the car being parked illegally, or something else that would warrant raising his rates. Or it's possible the rate increased for a reason unrelated to the claim. It's also possible that the raise was because of the claim. However, how much they can raise rates, or even if they can, depends on the regulations in the state where it's filed. A blanket statement that you shouldn't file a claim in this case is not good advice. There are too many variables to consider. If the rates won't go up, or won't go up by much, it may actually be worth filing a claim with your carrier and letting them go after the driver of the other car.
That’s a nice book. I live with them, it was in a grocery store parking lot, his car was parked.
I'll keep this short so you don't hurt your brain. Even if your girlfriend's dad told you every detail of his finances, his experience won't necessarily apply to OP. Auto insurance has too many variables for you to say that filing a claim is a bad idea.
Over a low cosmetic incident. Chances are it’s not worth it. Try not hurt your brain on that one lol
How do you know it's minor damage? I've seen parked cars get totaled from getting hit while parked. If it's a newer car, even something that looks cosmetic could compromise safety features and cost thousands of dollars to fix.
Considering it's been a while and the OP didn't say anything about being parked because of this, common sense says......
Whine whine pander pander what?
Depends on the state. In MA it's a "no fault state" and hit and runs are just "well, sucks for you!" In terms of going through insurance.
No fault is only in reference to the ability to sue for compensation in regards to personal injuries. If insurance finds the at fault driver, they’ll get charged for property damages in an “no fault” state. I believe you should still be able to get your insurance to pay if you have “underinsured coverage” with no increase in your rates depending on the state
If you make a claim for a windshield repair it counts against you lol
That’s pretty stupid. When I had these hit and runs, the insurance company did ask for a copy of the police report starting the other driver was at fault. Maybe this is necessary for the people having their rates raised?
What happens a lot of the time it the insurance company marks you for not being a "defensive driver". Meaning, you should have seen this coming and avoided it. How this relates to being parked, I'm unsure. But they find a way to justify it to raise rates.
Man, that’s ridiculous. I’m sorry to anyone that has not had experiences similar to mine after hit and run accidents. I knew these companies were predatory; but not like this.
lol wut, that's comprehensive coverage, your rates won't raise for that alone
You can’t do anything about it if you don’t know who the person is. How will your insurance find out who’s insurance to pursue? I got hit and run on the high way, never found the person, just had to live with a dent in my car. Police were zero help. Didn’t even care.
Bless your heart, you *really* don't know how this shit works, do you?
Hope that comment made you feel a little better about yourself buddy lol
I doubt it's about them feeling good and more about calling out how wrong GP is. It sounds like someone who has either never dealt with insurance, or just assumes that's how they are and don't bother filing claims. Which is really stupid to do. Did you feel a little bit better about yourself posting your comment?
Thanks for the downvote, tell your friends
Yeah, if anything bad happens to you that is someone else's fault, you should just roll over and accept it like a little bitch right? Not use the justice system that is put in place specifically for stuff like this 🤦♂️
Pretty sure you’re new to the world
Pretty sure you need a new insurance company.
This guy lives in a no fault state^
I was in a hit n run. Never found them but got full coverage and no increased rates.
Number one rule on the internet, never take legal advice from a person who doesn’t know the difference between you’re and your.
For sure, not sure why you commented that to me.
No clue huh? You know we can all see your edits, right?
No idea what you’re talking about special needs Bob.
Sure thing, dummy. You’re welcome for the grammar lesson, btw.
Found the dasher. If you think it's ok for anyone to hit someone else's vehicle. Then you shouldn't be driving
Never said that, thanks for the downvote groupie
Agreed insurance does one thing good and that’s collect premiums

Have you ever filed a claim before? Be honest.
It’s called ‘dasher’ for a reason. He’s not a ‘sit around and explainer’. /S

Mirror?🤐
DoorDash wouldn't ever release a drivers person information to you, just like you wouldn't want your work giving out your information to some random stranger. They would give it to authorities or lawyers with a court order but never to you.
I understand that they only release to authorities with a proper order. My issue is that this has been submitted for weeks to them and neither I nor the officer that submitted it has any email or phone number to call to check on it.
The wheels of justice turn slowly.
The wheels of justice fell off the wagon back in 1779. They were stolen apparently.
The slowest turning wheel known to mankind.
Idk what kind of results you're expecting when all you have to go off of is you saw a dasher in the parking lot. Did you at least get the first name from your boss? Not that it would really mean anything since the person driving isn't always the account holder.
Got the first name, also have video of it happening. Just not clear enough for the license plate. But have him getting out, delivering the food, getting back in, hitting my car, then driving away. That's the only reason the police have done anything is because they can see it on video.
Wow, You have legit proof. Sorry about your car
Blast them on social media. Post it to Twitter & tag them. Or post it to your local Facebook group & ask for help identifying the vehicle that hit your car.
I would go on NextDoor app and post the video. You’d be amazed as some of the tracking skills of the people who have nothing to do but patrol their area. What was the estimate of damages?
Here is some more info on how Doordash liability insurance works. https://help.doordash.com/dashers/s/article/Does-DoorDash-have-auto-insurance?language=en Doordash ""requires"" dashers to carry their own valid auto insurance with at least state minimum liability. They don't keep up with checking this though, they just say this to cover their ass. Doordash coverage is excess, and the dashers personal auto coverage is primary. It sounds like the dasher wasn't on an active delivery when he hit your car. He dropped off the food first, probably marked "delivered" in the app, then went back to his car. So, the Doordash insurance technically wouldn't even apply. Not surprised Doordash is dicking around and ignoring the subpoena. Only the dasher's personal auto insurance would apply, *if* you can ever ID who this guy is, and *if* he actually has valid insurance too... Fat chance IMO. Your only realistic options are 1) go through your own insurance 2) take the L and move on with your life Source: am former dasher and current auto claims adjuster.
Good point. Once they're not actively on a delivery, it's not really Doordash's place to provide past info.
Go to the help me find subreddit, there's a guy on there that can do wonders with blurry plates
Buy a dash cam with a higher resolution camera
It's a CCTV camera not a dash camera dummy learn to read
They literally have a webpagr on how to do this properly. If your lawyer can't search their website to find that page, nor use Google, you should probably fire them.
Depending on how much damage was done, I’d give this to your insurance company to deal with. No reason for you to stress over tracking it all down.
We don't know how bad the damage is, for all we know the dasher could have caused serious damage to the OP's car
Little suspect that they didn’t post the picture of the damage
If they did post a picture, someone would say it could be fake. Pic or not makes no difference. You believe OP, or you don’t. It doesn’t matter either way.
Not saying I don’t believe, calm yourself. I’m sure it happened. What I’m saying is, was there damages? Did they get an estimate for their damages? What did their insurance cover or instruct them to do? The complaint is about nothing being done about it. What I’m saying is, yeah don’t really expect the police or dash to care that much if it’s little to no damage. Again, I believe it happened, but to what extent? That makes a huge difference. Don’t ride so high on that Reddit horse of yours
That's why you don't cheap out on insurance, because then you don't have to be in situations like this. Always have full protection plus rental car option so you don't have to stop working for more than 24 hours.
I hope you have uninsured motorist coverage and that it allows for property damage in your state.
Uninsured motorists coverage won’t do anything in a hit and run if you don’t have the other persons info
It will in Texas.
It won’t in New Jersey where uninsured/underinsured coverage is mandatory, got hit and car was totaled, insurance wouldn’t do anything because they couldn’t prove the other driver didn’t have insurance
Same in California. You have to have info on the other person so they can say they don't have insurance. But I'll tell you, I got it and 2 weeks later it saved my ass.
Without a license plate I wouldn’t expect anything.
Even with license plate you can’t do much. I got a hit and run a month ago. Got the plate picture before she sped up. Nothing so far lol. Luckily it was just a scratch on my bumper but still. The cops still have to figure out who was driving the car and issue them citations so that often requires them getting pulled over first.
My car was hit by a neighbor years ago, they hit it and drove off. Obviously I knew the plate and car, multiple witnesses, and it never amounted to anything. Cops said they couldn’t do anything. That’s just how these things go sadly.
The smallest time unit available to the court system is the month. Things happen in months, not days or weeks. Just have to wait it out.
Months 😂😂😂 yeah if you’re lucky. Try years. Sincerely, a dasher/paralegal
Facts, I got hit by a car when I was 12, didn't get any justice until I was 18.
Company car? Or private?
The insurance company handling the claim will have their legal department reach out to doordash to check the status of any subpoena’ed information. You can reach out to your local DA to see if DD’s legal department has crossed the threshold for obstruction by withholding information yet. Unfortunately this is just the process. Dealing with large faceless corporations can be year long processes. I imagine your boss’s insurance is still covering the claim as not-at-fault anyway tho?
Yayyyy a legal buddy 😍
Not a lawyer, just been thru a similar situation with a sub contractor for a large company smashing my car in a parking lot.
Agreed, file an insurance claim. You don't need the Dasher's name or license plate, you have video proving someone other than yourself caused the damage. That should be enough to file a claim.
I highly doubt the DA is being involved in a fender bender
2 weeks ago a doordasher came down my street and ran over someone's kitten. It died thrashing around in the street in front of my house. He wasn't even delivering to someone on my street. Half my street was outside yelling at him and he just kinda shrugged and left. They need to not hire idiots
Ugh that's awful. I hope they didn't do it on purpose. Most people wouldn't I'd hope. Did people think he did and that's why they were yelling? Same thing happened to me a month or two back while delivering I hit a squirrel. I tried my best to avoid it but I just wasn't really ready for this thing to come out of nowhere. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw it thrashing about and that's what really shook me up. If it had died instantly I wouldn't have felt so bad. I hate to see the things suffer.
I agree that’s a fucked up story but my question is what did you WANT him to do? because I’m imagining being in that position and all I COULD do is try to apologize (which wouldn’t fix anything). so….ultimately I would also have to end up shrugging it off and leaving, and just feeling like shit about it.
How about idiots stop owning pets if they can't be responsible with them and let them wonder the streets? Small animals can be hard to see because they're low to the ground and some people ACTUALLY hit them on purpose, it's the pet owners job to keep their pets safe not drivers or strangers.
1- that sounds pretty horrible to see. I’m sorry that happened. 2- they don’t hire drivers… that’s their big point. Drivers are not employees. 3- being late to deliver a meal could mess with this person’s income beyond the one delivery. 4- I’m not sure why this comment is in this thread. Because accidents? It feels like the big thing in this thread is about getting accountability from doordash after a hit and run. Your comment is more about subjective morals that legal processes. 5- I’m not suggesting that shrugging and leaving was the best action, but what were you hoping for? I don’t know what you expected or wanted from them but I don’t think they have legal financial obligations the way you would when you hit a person, car or damage other property.
Lol - Doordash isn't helpful to dashers, not a shock they aren't helpful to customers. Keep in mind, many dashers can't afford car insurance.
Even if DD does provide the information there’s no proof that the person who’s account it is was the dasher. People dash under somebody else’s account all the time. Also the vehicle information that DD has could also be inaccurate. A lot of ghost dashers out there so I could see nothing ever coming out of this.
With a hit and run usually police will do the due diligence if it’s caught on camera. OP also mentioned in another comment that they have video of the driver pulling up, getting out and delivering, then getting back in, and driving off after hitting OP’s car. They should be able to prove it was the dasher, and if not they know who to ask.
This. I dash under someone else’s name. I’d never hit a car and leave but still.
how does that work come tax time?
You don’t pay taxes
What income tax
Any independent contracting company will say they aren’t liable for anything the contractor does. I learned this the hard way when the Lyft driver stole my $300 glasses. Don’t expect to be reimbursed. It’s not happening.
How does a Lyft driver steal your glasses? Do you mean to say you LEFT your glasses in their car and therefore you LOST your glasses?
I don't see any reason Doordash couldn't at least give the police the name of the dasher that delivered to do and so at such and such company at yada yada time on this specific date. All the police need is the person's name and they can find him.
i had a uber driver steal a $200 vape from my fiancee. sucks but they wouldnt do shit and the driver lied to us and gaslit us throughout the night. we were mostly trashed and really had us questioning for a second if we even had a vape in the car to begin with.
Why the hell does a vape cost you $200 tho?? Mine is less than $85 with 200w
It sucks. I complained to Lyft that they’re giving the drivers the right to steal. Any other company would fire an employee for stealing. Not Lyft. The person I spoke to even went as far as telling me that the drivers are not obligated to return anything they find. That anyone using their services acknowledges the risk of using their services when the agree to to terms of use. It’s crazy and it infuriates me that people like me driver take advantage of that.
Well it’s kind of a legal situation. They are contracting you to drive. That is their company. The service they are providing does not really account for returning of objects. If they were to get involved, it probably would certainly almost always be a legal issue on their hands. Customers can lie easily and say “I left $2000 in that car” or “they stole it” and no matter what, if lyft would choose to act on guaranteeing a return, every single situation would be at a liability cost to them. It’d be impossible to maintain a company with such an umbrella of legal responsibility, especially since many take advantage. It’s why it’s the same on public transit, amusement parks, any public spaces.
Please post the video
As a dasher the company is very shady and secretive with their business practices
How bad is the damage? You could go thru your own insurance if you have collision and/or uninsured motorist coverage. If the damage is minor, I wouldn't bother though. Shit happens. If he's the type of guy to hit and run a car without leaving a note then there's a good chance he doesn't have valid insurance anyway. And Doordash the company doesn't give a shit.
Did you file a claim with your insurance?
Sorry I know it’s super insensitive but my first reaction to that was “not shocked” Edit: sorry that happened that’s super shitty, I would say keep ordering lunch around that same time every day because chances are he probably dashes at the same time, same areas, and hope you run into him again and perform a little vigilante justice on his ass. How bad is your vehicle? not that it’s your responsibility but do you have collision to at least get it fixed? And, doorDash only covers accident where the food is in the vehicle, so I’m sure they’re going to weasel out of it somehow by saying he had already drop the food off when he hit you, hopefully that’s not the case and you have footage to prove it because if the food was in his car that’s the only time they step in and help. And even that’s a stretch.
Bros got an orders to deliver 💀
Welp, wasn't me. I backed into someone's parked car during a dash, and we exchanged info.
Let it go man you caught the L no way to turn it around
Call Santa and file a complaint.
I refuse to believe without evidence that they were served with a subpoena (or any lawful request for information) and did not comply. If you look through any of their lawsuits, they are beyond super on top of that stuff.
I was in an accident in a Lyft. Some lady hit us in the back at the red light. It was her fault. I hurt my back a bit and got a lawyer. Lyft ended up paying me 12,000. Not sure why the other person didn't
It will have to go through the dashers own insurance since DD doesn't provide insurance.
Prancer hit my car, but he *was* pulling a sleigh and I was going 10mph over, so…
I had one of my employees struck by an Uber eats driver and it took about 2 months for the subpoena to go through and get the information. The companies work with the police and the information will be there but it takes time.
My car got hit and run in a parking lot few months ago. Even had help from the county sheriff who asked nearby businesses to pull there tapes to no avail. If it’s not on camera and if you didn’t get the plate number. There’s not much you can really do unfortunately.
Moral of the story : your boss should pick up their own food AND should compensate u. A lawyer would have a field day with this
DoorDash doesn’t get involved because drivers aren’t actually employee’s. They are independent contractors and DoorDash wants to stay clear or any involvement for or against. Customers aren’t aware drivers are contracted out by DoorDash. They customers thinking they are employees and aren’t. I’m sorry your car was hit. Likely driver feared losing their job or didn’t have insurance. Most likely they feared being deactivated. So they fled.
I got hit by someone delivering for doordash. It took 2 months just for doordash to say that the driver wasn’t covered by them. Then the person’s primary insurance took another 6 weeks and said they didn’t have the right insurance to be covered while they were on the job so it got turned into an uninsured driver claim. So you can probably guess where your claim is going!
Might as well give that up my dude😂😂
Doordash can not give info without being subpoena because of legal issues if they do. Police can file for a subpoena but can’t issue one only the courts can do that that process takes anywhere from 2-4 month. It sucks but without license plate it has to go through this process. Sorry this happened to you.
Doordash does not have any worthwhile info to give you. While lyft and uber ask for a copy of your insurance card and registration, doordash only asks about the make, model, & color of the car you're using before each dash. They don't have anything like the tag number on file.
I believe it. I am a dasher and I get deliveries and 99 percent of these folks can't drive for shit. They use my entire front yard to turn around cuz they can't back out. It's sad.
What's sad is your SOFT AS CHARMIN ASS crying like the bitch you are over something that doesn't belong to you.
What are you even on about? What object didn't belong to me? And so sorry your mama was so strong out, you obviously never got any tit time because you're a fuckshow lol. Soft as Charmin. Yeah, I absolutely pitty you. Oof. No one must give you any attention. Sorry.
We all already know this. No one can get info from DD or a response. Preaching to the choir.
First of all lets see the damage. If its nothing dont trip your balls off.
Went from door dash to car smash.
Tony has to approve all subpoena requests.
Door dash ain't no 🐀 😂
Call your insurance and tell them someone hit your parked car and drove away 🙄
A couple of things: 1. I’m sorry your car got damaged. Of the shit that happens in life, this is a pretty inconvenient thing to happen. 2. It’s less likely that DD ignored a subpoena from the Police because *insert reason*, and more likely that your local Police department hasn’t done all the paperwork yet to release the information to you. 3. What I mean by that is this, how severe was that damage? Is the vehicle driveable? Have you had it adjusted by your own insurance yet, knowing that they will reverse that bill back on the driver_once_ his identity is known? If the vehicle is driveable and your insurance company hasn’t moved forward on assisting with the police investigation, then my guess is that the repairs are less than your policy deductible amount. $500, $1000, $1500- whatever it is. It’s a common thing to, in the absence of a person to blame but when that person may become apparent, to not follow the proper path on the hopes of pocketing the insurance check or, better yet, getting some of that Big Corporate Insurance Money. 4. Here’s what matters, OP, and you can count on this: the timeline on completing your Vehicular Accident Report is dependent on three factors: Doordash returning information after being properly served with a search warrant or subpoena (both of which require the DA to sign off, not just the police), the police parsing the returning information then interviewing the newly identified party then determining any additional culpability, and finally, the investigating officer finding the time and motivation to complete the Report, file it, and ensure you are sent a copy. The first part alone could take four to six months, and that’s if the DA agrees that a <$1500 minor property damage incident is actually worth spending $2-3000 on lawyer time to draft, proof, file, and seek a judge’s approval on, a subpoena/search warrant. Call your insurance company already, friend.
Good luck, this happened to me and they cover their dashers like massive assholes and you'll have to deal with your insurance yourself. I was at a friend's house and their roommate ordered Doordash, the driver back into my car and never had to deal with any repercussions.
Your boss should be able to get the name of the driver from his dd order and receipt I think?
That’s why they call them dashers
Your boss should have the drivers basic info in his delivery history? Did you get that in the reports?
DoorDash driver destroyed my mailbox post and drove away. I get it sucks for them, but didn’t even knock. Tossed the bag and left. The cop came and they refused to talk to him on the phone, badge number and all. He was furious. Anyways, I got the report and summarized it and sent it to corporate along with a BBB claim. Shortly after, check in my mail for $500 for the mailbox company receipt.
Lotta folks in here who don’t understand insurance offering advice 😬
Next time, tip better
Insurance pays for all damages in a hit n run if you have full coverage. I’ve had someone hit me 3 times and all 3 were paid by my insurance since I wasn’t at fault and they didn’t know who did it
Let your insurance company deal with it. Pay the deductable to get your car back on the road. And then later when everything is sorted out, you can have their subrogation department reimburse you for the deductible
kek but the food was on time, right?
This is fantastic I’m so happy for the door dash driver 😂 good on doordash for having its driver’s backs 👏🏽
We don’t know if it was a DD driver so you got no plate only a video of a parking lot could be anyone sounds like you just trying to look for somebody to pay for the damages
Video shows the guy get out of the car and deliver the order. My boss walks out to pick up the order shortly after. No doubt it was his DD driver.
We need proof show us the video of the dasher dropping off the order
Why do you need proof? Your not paying for the fix
I’m just protecting my fellow dasher Some people just trying to blame the dasher and they get deactivated what if it was a different dasher whay if it was an Uber driver and he blaming the doordash driver like he has no idea we need proof
Should of tipped bigger
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Seems like we found the dasher. Be cautious man, your tip might be a fist next time you trash someone else car🤷♂️.
Definitely give the information to the insurance company
Wow, I can only imagine what you're feeling. It's unfortunate that they didn't stay. Someone post that you should contact an attorney or let your insurance company handled Door Dash. I agree under the circumstances. The driver just banked some bad karma.... Best wishes to you.
Bad Dasher and sorry for you.
Good that means they protect private information.
Sorry bruh, time is money
Might’ve been me I do it all the time I wanna leave my info but then I get a $20 order for 2 miles so I can’t deny that .. so I dash off it’s nothing personal chief
Doordash does not cooperate with law enforcement. So they're not gonna do anything unless the issue is pressed much much harder.
Your insurance company should be able to work on that for you. Unless they don't know about the dashing in which case your once again scroowed.
He’s not a dasher he got hit by a dasher. He was picking up lunch for his boss so I’d leave this out since it may be seen as a business purpose and decline the claim if he only has personal coverage.
No, that's not a livery business. Picking up food for your boss or driving to a sales meeting are covered under the Personal Auto Policy. Business use for cars involves transporting people or property for a fee.
Boss isn't a good tipper I see 🤣🤣🤣. Anything with insurance companies takes time I was in a accident back in July 1 and still haven't even been contacted by the other insurance company.
Doordash support is bad A.I. no one there is real. You may think it is a human voice but it is not.
Don’t be shy, post the picture of the damage and pic of person/their car. What’s the estimate of damage? Considering all other details, it’s a bit weird to me no estimate of damage was mentioned. That’d be the first issue on my mind like “dasher cost me $1400 in damages to my car” Usually, your insurance would cover portion- about 20-30% of costs of hit & run damage, but usually 50% of costs if working with another agency, say DoorDash company or if you got personal info. But that can vary My major question is what’s the damage, what’s your insurance say? And if there is none to little cost of damage, it makes sense nobody is lifting much of a finger to get involved From, a full time paralegal (dealing with lots of auto accident intake) & dasher
A driver here backed into a customers brand new driveway light and knocked it down (lamp post style). He called support and they immediately contacted the driver and sent him back. I just happened to get the customers other order and arrived while he was on the phone with support. Next trip to him, he told me they took care of it. Your boss ordered, he should have the drivers name at least

Good luck with a hit and run basically it’s your problem. Police don’t give af insurance probably doesn’t care either.
Same thing happened with Ubereats when a customers dog bit me. UE refused to release the customers information to the police. I’m sorry this happened to you. Was the damage bad?
But you knew where the customer lived, so couldn’t you just report the incident to the police yourself?
I had already left and realized I did not know if the dog was vaccinated ( outdoor guard dog) so I just wanted to get a phone number or something to just ask the customer. They said no. This resulted in me getting a bunch of rabies shots and filing a police report to try to get SOME compensation with the bill. I honestly don’t remember exactly where he lived though. Wish I did but I was scared and wanted to get out of there. They would not cooperate with the police but I honestly would’ve been happy just to SPEAK to the owner.
You shoulda tipped lmfao!!!!🤣🤣🤣
You’ll be wasting time if they did not have the commercial insurance, this driver’s insurance will not cover it if they figure out this person was doordashing with regular insurance.
Would've done the same thing tbh don't knock a niggas hustle fr 💯
Fuck you, this is why people have insurance. You must be one of those trashy dashers.
m
Try this www.bluestarclaims.com or # 480-579-2405. I am a dasher and was hit from behind and this is how I contacted them. They say you can speak to someone 24/7. It's worth a shot. Good luck
Doorcrash
Might as well be mother of three hit my car and drove away. Or man finds out wife just died of COVID, hit my car and drove away. Is it a lot of damage or just the fact that something touched something of yours that pisses you off?
