Door Dasher Trip On Property
Location: California
Last night a delivery driver tripped and was injured. Two boys were walking in the neighborhood and rang my doorbell and alerted my the dasher was injured. I looked and she was lying in the dark on my walkway right at the entry step from sidewalk. I brought out a towel and went to her (boys said to get a towel as she was bleeding) I checked her, she was somewhat confused. She was entering my walkway and must have tripped on the step and fell on the side of her face. I gathered her broken prescription glasses. Had my husband bring out an ice pack and blanket. She couldn’t reach any family on her phone. Her car was parked at an angle a portion sticking out into street, driver door was still open and car was running. WHICH was strange, so I snapped a picture. She asked me to shut off her car. I told her I didn’t want her to drive as she might have a concussion…boys that rang my doorbell called 911 while I was tending to her….ambulance came and took her to hospital. I wrote my name and phone number on a sticky note and put it in her purse for her. I also moved her car from where it was, into my driveway. Prior to he leaving I asked her if I should notify DoorDash and she said she had already completed the order and turned off her accepting deliveries. I asked her to please text me so I know she was OK. Once she was gone, I went ahead and notified DoorDash of the issue….as I thought an accident report should definitely be made. Within 1/2 her car was gone, she must have gotten ahold of family and they came and got it. Long story trying to make it short….she was eventually seen (many hours later) she got stitches in a cut on her brow bone and had a head CT released to follow up with her primary care. (Mild concussion) I am sure today she is sore and bruised. Lots of questions…
- I would like to reach out to her today and take her some dinner, as I really do feel bad for her situation. Would that be inappropriate.
- Am I responsible for her medical, as I don’t feel it was our fault she tripped as evidence by how her car was pulled up at an angle, left running with driver door still open. Our home is right in front of a huge street light providing ample light and our entry is well lit. It is obvious by her car she was rushing and not paying attention. But having had 2 craniotomies myself due to a tumor I am very much aware of the cost involved and don’t want her stressed about cost. Does DoorDash carry workers comp???
THANK YOU!
