If they are providing a service where they direct drivers to her door, they have liability in vetting who those drivers are. Yes, the GF has a huge share of the responsibility, but steps should have been taken to prevent things like this.

A whole lot of things got missed in their business model if we are at a point where females customers are getting curb stomped in their front yard by people delivering their service.

IMO, there are two parallel but completely separate existences in this country for black and white people. They both have completely different outlooks, different standards for their own behavior, different standards of what is expected of them socially, different standards for expectation of impulse control, and totally different standards for appropriate use of violence as a means of achieving our wants.

It’s to a point where we can’t use our own logic to understand each other anymore, the difference is that great… I do believe that in my lifetime it is going to come to a head and be dealt with directly though and a lot of good people on both sides are going to suffer.

IMO, this is an extrapolate result of the Welfare State making the Black Man redundant in their nuclear family unit. No other result can be expected-without men around, boys will teach themselves how to be men.

No court in the world is going to let a corporation off the hook when the victim is a woman who got beat into the ER by one of their “contractors”.

I'd bet you're 109% wrong.

All she has to do is leak the video to the news and Instacart will be begging her to take a check before she calls a lawyer.

That letter wasn’t an actual apology. It was likely worded saying that they are sorry it happened and that drivers are not employees and such, just basically shifting the blame.

No mugshot of offending instacart driver ?

Do you really need one?

Yes. Just to be sure.

One can never be sure enough.

Damn DT.

My wife is dealing with shit heads at her work. Every one and their grandma said “I’d own that company”

Lawsuits aren’t like you see on tv. The big pay outs you see on the news are a very small percentage of lawsuits. It’s better than lottery odds but it’s not like people think.


It’s someone with practically no money against someone with almost unlimited money. Then add in the fact that Lawyers are pieces of shit that are just as bad as the criminals.

Civil lawsuits cost huge amounts of money because they bill at $300-500 an hr and they can stretch out for years. So if you aren’t looking at enormous amounts of money a lawyer won’t take a case on a contingency basis. Because the 1/3 or whatever they charge won’t cover the costs. A normal person can’t afford it.

And even though this should be a slam dunk case, laws are complicated. If there’s one small detail that could throw the case that will give lawyers pause on wanting to take it. Just the fact that she’s white and he’s black is a factor to consider with how our society works today. It’s not right but that’s how it is.

She could get a settlement out of them, but to get anything huge would be a multi year process that hopefully goes right in every way. Just the fact that he wasn’t the correct driver may get instacart out of it. They will claim he wasn’t their employee or contracted hire, the blame can possibly shift even more towards the original driver for letting someone use their vehicle and credentials to do the job. They are in a way committing a fraud against instacart.


So long story short, there’s a real possibility she could be SOL. It’s the same with my situation. I can go after the shithead employee that harassed my wife,  but the company, the one with the real money has the time, resources, and lawyers to get out of it.

And what if the person doing the beating isn’t even a contractor of the corporation but instead was falsely using  credentials to make orders? I understand your sentiment, and instacart may offer to settle to save face, but the legal argument is an uphill battle.

Yep, instacart would have a defense that they were defrauded by the real driver. And I’m sure they consider them contract employees.


Instacart, Uber, and all these type companies probably had the legal stuff worked out before ever sending the first delivery out.


It would probably have to be an extraordinary situation that could make it past all the legal hurdles and lawyers before getting a big settlement.

That’s a good saying.

I call BS on that also. It’s like it’s standard practice for any company now to never, ever admit any guilt. even in the slightest.

LOL.



How big do you think the dog was?
