Four in five car-based food couriers reportedly lack delivery insurance
A person delivering food by car in South Korea opened a car door beside the road, and it hit a passing vehicle.
The driver filed a claim with an insurer, but an employee said compensation could be difficult because the driver did not have insurance for delivery work.
The driver then said they had been on the way to eat.
The insurer checked delivery records and found the driver had made a delivery 10 minutes before the crash and canceled later delivery work because of it.
The report's headline says about 80% of people doing delivery work by car lack this insurance.
