Many people do delivery work as a full-time job. It is unreasonable for delivery platforms, which profit handsomely from the couriers work, to completely shirk their responsibility when accidents occur. Each courier’s accident insurance activates as soon as the customer places an order. Now, couriers who are injured in accidents could receive insurance benefits of up to ￥250,000 for medical treatment. The government should step up with substantial measures, such as stipulating that platforms must pay for accident insurance for couriers.
