INJURED IN A RIDESHARE ACCIDENT? HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare services have exploded in popularity in recent years. It makes perfect sense; they’re a convenient, inexpensive alternative to traditional cabs. The rating systems on these apps enable us to vet our drivers and ensure we’re riding with trustworthy folks, but despite concession to safety, rideshare accidents do occasionally happen. If you’re injured as a passenger in one of these collisions, what recourse do you have? Determining liability depends on the circumstances of your crash. If the crash was your driver’s fault, you’ll be covered under their company’s liability policy, which sets damages at a maximum of $1 million. This means that all damages related to your injuries are covered up to that $1 million cap. Those $1 million apply whether you’re a passenger, the driver of another car that collides with an on- duty driver, or a pedestrian struck by the rideshare vehicle. If you need to file a lawsuit for additional financial compensation beyond that limit, you file it directly against the other driver. Since rideshare drivers are considered independent contractors under the law, you can’t sue the company in the same way you could if they were considered employees.
If you’re in a rideshare accident, there are a few steps you should always take. Call 911, take photos of the scene, talk to any witnesses, record the driver’s name, take screenshots of the rideshare app and receipt on your phone, and seek medical attention (even if you’re not sure you need it). After you’re safe and sound, call an attorney. These situations can get complicated fast, and it’s important to act quickly to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve from the rideshare company. Give us a call — we’ll let you know your options and help you determine the best path forward.

You can support your sweetheart by simply reminding them of a time they were spectacular. They will rise to the occasion.
