What Are Rideshare Accidents?

Rideshare accidents are any type of accident that involves a vehicle being used for ridesharing purposes. This could be a vehicle that is owned by a rideshare company or a vehicle that is being used by a driver who works for a rideshare company. These cases can be extremely complex, as they often involve multiple insurance companies and various parties.

Some common causes of rideshare accidents include:

• Distracted driving
• Speeding
• Drunk driving
• Drowsy driving
• Poorly maintained vehicles
• Defective vehicle parts
• Inclement weather

Who Is Liable for a Rideshare Accident?

Liability for a rideshare accident is often complex. In some cases, the rideshare driver may be at fault for the accident. In other cases, another driver may be at fault. In some cases, both drivers may share fault. Determining liability is crucial to your claim, as it will determine who you can file a claim against.

Some of the parties who can be held liable for a rideshare accident include:

• The rideshare driver
• Another motorist
• Rideshare company
• Third-party delivery company
• Vehicle manufacturer
• Government entity

In order to determine liability, you will need to conduct a thorough investigation of the accident. This may involve obtaining the police report, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing any available surveillance footage. Our rideshare accident lawyers can help you gather the necessary evidence to prove liability in your case.

How Are Rideshare Accidents Different from Other Car Accidents?

Rideshare accidents are different from other car accidents in several ways. One of the primary differences is that rideshare companies have a significant amount of insurance coverage. In fact, rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft have up to $1 million in insurance coverage for accidents that occur when a driver is actively transporting a passenger. This means that, in many cases, you may be able to recover more compensation for your injuries than you would in a traditional car accident claim.

Rideshare accidents also involve complex insurance issues. In traditional car accident cases, you would file a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company. However, in a rideshare accident case, you may need to file a claim with the rideshare company’s insurance company. The insurance company may try to deny your claim or offer a low settlement. Our rideshare accident lawyers can help you navigate the insurance process and protect your rights every step of the way.

What Compensation Is Available for Rideshare Accident Victims?

If you were injured in a rideshare accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. If a loved one was killed in a rideshare accident, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim and recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and more.

Our rideshare accident lawyers can help you pursue compensation for:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Loss of earning capacity
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Scarring and disfigurement

Our attorneys will thoroughly review your case, including your medical records and other evidence, to determine the value of your claim. We are committed to helping you obtain the maximum compensation you are entitled to.

Why You Need a Rideshare Accident Lawyer

After an accident, you may be contacted by an insurance adjuster who will try to get you to settle your claim for as little money as possible. The insurance company is not on your side and does not have your best interests in mind. Before you agree to any settlement, it is in your best interest to consult with our rideshare accident lawyers. We can review any settlement offers and determine if they are fair. If the insurance company is not willing to offer a fair settlement, we can take your case to court and fight for a favorable outcome on your behalf.
