Q: Can I bring a lawsuit against pizza companies that outsource their delivery driving to doordash?

For instance, when I order a pizza through papa johns, there's a delivery charge included. But when it comes time to deliver the pizza, it's doordash doing the delivering, not papa johns. Should the delivery charge be included if it's a different company bringing the food?

How is the delivery fee calculated? Does it clearly reflect the cost of using a third-party delivery service like DoorDash? If the fee appears to be inflated or disproportionate to the actual cost of delivery, it could be argued that the pizza company is unjustly profiting.

A medical power of attorney allows the agent (his mother) to make any health care decision he could make for himself if he is unable to do so.

You can have him sign a new power of attorney naming you as his agent and revoking his previous power of attorney to his mother.
