Rideshare Accident Lawyer

Should I Hire a Rideshare Accident Lawyer?

Rideshare accident cases can be complicated and stressful for the injured accident victim. There are many insurance carriers, requirements, and legal deadlines involved. Because of this, hiring a rideshare accident attorney at Parker Waichman LLP can be beneficial for many reasons. Your rideshare accident lawyer can handle most of the details surrounding your case, prove liability, and pursue compensation from all liable parties.

If you were seriously injured in a rideshare accident, you may be entitled to compensation that can cover the cost of:

• Past and future medical care costs
• Pain and suffering
• Lost wages
• Lost earning capacity
• Emotional anguish
• Loss of quality of life

And other accident-related damages.

A rideshare accident attorney at Parker Waichman LLP will advocate for your right to fair compensation and work tirelessly to hold the negligent driver and rideshare company accountable for your losses.

If the rideshare company’s insurance provider refuses to make a reasonable settlement offer, your attorney will file a lawsuit on your behalf and prepare your case for trial. During this time, they will continue to negotiate with the other party. Most rideshare accident lawsuits are settled out of court. An insurance company does not want to waste time, money, and other resources at trial. However, if mediation fails, our team of trial-tested attorneys will be prepared to fight aggressively for you in court, presenting a compelling argument before a judge and jury.

What Should I Do If I’m Involved in a Rideshare Accident as a Passenger?

The following steps can protect your health and your legal rights:

• Check for injuries. Check if the driver and other passengers in the rideshare vehicle, including yourself, have sustained any injuries.
• Contact 911 or the Police. If someone requires immediate medical attention, contact 911. If no one appears seriously injured, contact the police. The police will arrive at the scene and conduct an investigation, interview all parties involved, and document accident information in a police report. You can use the police report to strengthen your case.
• Gather evidence. Obtain the rideshare driver’s name and insurance information, and their license plate number. If anyone witnessed the accident, obtain their names and contact information. Take photos or video of the accident scene, vehicle damage, anything that may have contributed to the crash, and your injuries.
