Welcome from ClassAction.org!

We believe Instacart (MapleBear, Inc.) has been misclassifying drivers as independent contractors instead of employees. As a result, these drivers may have lost out on overtime pay, benefits, and suffered additional compensatory damages.

You may be eligible to recovery compensation for these lost wages and benefits.

Please answer the following questions to help us determine if you are eligible to make a claim for compensation:

Did you work over 40 hours in at least one week for Instacart in the past 2 years?

YesNo

Were you a resident of New York, Illinois, Washington, Massachusetts or Oregon during this period of time?

YesNo

Are you or have you been a part of any other ongoing claim against Instacart?

YesNo

Congratulations!

Looks like you qualify and we’d like to immediately move your claim forward. This will cost you nothing out of pocket. We get paid only if we recover an award or settlement on your behalf. Our fee is 40% of the award we recover for you. If we don’t win, you don’t pay.

To move forward, please provide the following information:

Re: [CLIENT NAME] v. MAPLEBEAR INC. d/b/a INSTACART

Dear [CLIENT NAME]

This is an agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and Milberg Coleman Bryson Phillips Grossman LLC (“MCBPG”) for legal representation for your claims against Maplebear Inc. d/b/a Instacart (“Instacart”) for its misclassification of shoppers as independent contractors in violation of federal and state employment laws.

You understand and authorize MCBPG to proceed with filing your claims as individual arbitration. Arbitration is a simplified means of pursuing legal claims, where the claim is decided by an arbitrator rather than a judge or jury. However, this agreement also authorizes MCBPG to settle your claim as a part of a class action if Instacart chooses to do so. You understand and consent to MCBPG representing other individuals who may have the same or similar claims against Instacart. You authorize MCBPG to resolve your claims with Instacart for, at a minimum, a five-hundred-dollar ($500.00) value.

Our firm will handle this matter with a contingent fee of the greater of either forty percent (40%), as allowed by state law, of any recovery obtained in this matter or a total of attorneys’ fees awarded by the arbitrator or court. We reserve the right to associate with any co-counsel, but our fee will be split among our firm and any firm(s) we associate.

We will advance all costs incurred by our firm during this litigation (e.g., filing fees, travel, etc.). We will be reimbursed for these costs if, and only if, we ultimately obtain a recovery. Advanced costs are deducted after the calculation of the contingent fee.

You authorize MCBPG to withdraw from our representation if we determine for sufficient reasons that the case should not continue. Regardless, we will maintain the file on this matter for at least six years. If requested, these will be returned to you after the conclusion of the representation.

Finally, we do not make any promises or guarantees regarding the outcome of your claims. If you have any questions about the foregoing, please advise. We would appreciate your returning a signed copy of this engagement letter to us for our files.

Sincerely,

Jonathan B. Cohen
