Have You Been Injured In A Rideshare Accident?

Rideshare accidents have revolutionized travel for many people, and the vast majority of rideshare trips end without accidents. However, accidents are certainly possible – and increasing as these services become more popular. There are roughly 100 fatal rideshare accidents annually, and thousands of other people suffer survivable injuries.

What Makes Rideshare Accidents Different?

It can be a bit different to deal with insurance companies if you get involved in an Uber or Lyft accident. In many cases, these companies have their own insurance policies. However, you may need to seek compensation from other sources before you can file a claim with that company.

For instance, perhaps your rideshare driver made a mistake and caused the crash. You may be able to seek compensation from that driver directly, as well as from Uber or Lyft. If another driver was responsible for the accident, then you may have to sue them personally or contact their insurance. Your rideshare driver would not be responsible. However, there can also be complex cases where both drivers were at fault or where liability is in question. That’s when you really need legal guidance to know exactly what legal options you have.

The most important thing to do after a rideshare accident is to contact the authorities, seek medical attention and exchange information with the other driver. Your next step should be to contact an attorney.
