DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, the national law firm of Baron & Budd announced that it is accepting cases for current and former delivery drivers who are mislabeled as an independent contractor when in reality they fully depend on the company they work for. Large companies such as Amazon, Instacart, Uber, Lyft, TaskRabbit, or DoorDash, may have wrongfully labeled their delivery drivers as an independent contractor.
In recent years, there has been an increase in the types of deliveries offered, from food delivery from different restaurants like Uber Eats to groceries from Amazon. These deliveries have made these large corporations very popular with consumers. A consumer is happy to purchase something and have it quickly delivered to them. Because it has become a norm, these companies have hired many delivery drivers as independent contractors. This allows them to pay that driver based on a contract and not provide them with employee benefits.
Delivery drivers that work exclusively for many months or even years for the same company, contribute little financial investment towards the work and have little control over their schedules, may ultimately be employees under state or federal law instead of independent contractors. It is critical for these workers to re-evaluate their relationship with their employer and how they are classified, even if they have signed an independent contractor agreement. These workers may be missing substantial unpaid compensation that would ultimately help their individual bottom line.
If you are a current or former delivery driver for Amazon, Instacart, Uber, Lyft, TaskRabbit, or DoorDash and feel you were wrongfully classified as an independent contractor, please get in touch with an attorney with Baron & Budd by calling 866-419-6060.
