Many People Work as Rideshare Drivers in Pennsylvania
Over the past several years, the number of people working full-time and part-time for third-party rideshare apps has exploded in Pennsylvania. We are committed to protecting the rights of drivers who were injured while working for:
- Uber
- Lyft
- Door Dash
- Postmates
The Challenge: These Drivers are Often Classified as “Independent Contractors”
Unfortunately, third-party rideshare drivers, including those from Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and Postmates, face significant hurdles in claiming workers’ compensation. These drivers are typically classified as independent contractors under the 1099 employment model. In Pennsylvania, independent contractors are not covered by workers’ compensation.
Fighting for Workers’ Comp Benefits for Misclassified Drivers
Despite the challenges, our work injury law firm is dedicated to taking legal action to help injured rideshare drivers get the right benefits they deserve. As noted by the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General, our state has strict rules regarding worker classification. A worker misclassified as an independent contractor when they should be an employee may be able to get compensation for their damages, including workers’ comp. Our law firm is at the forefront of challenging the system. We believe we can bring change that is better for workers.
