Food delivery (which can include meal kits, groceries, alcohol, etc.) is a booming industry in the United States; in fact, food delivery is expected to grow at nearly 13% per year, with a market value of 1.65 trillion in the U.S. by 2027 (according to Routific). Even Amazon is in the food delivery market, with its Whole Foods Market delivery.
Some of those food deliveries drivers are causing accidents: car crashes and pedestrian knockdowns. Innocent people suffer terrible and catastrophic injuries and, sometimes, even lose their lives.
