  > people aren’t getting compensated for accidents, by, e.g., car insurance companies Car insurance doesn't cover 100% of costs. There's the deductible and, for many low-income drivers, the cost of lawsuits. A fully-loaded insurance plan is pretty expensive, and the unit economics likely doesn't work for a lot of these people unless they're insured with the bare minimum. That idea does fit into the low-wage argument, because you're creating a race-to-the-bottom market among your delivery drivers such that the ones who want proper insurance aren't able to compete on price with the ones who are willing to take risks.
