Understanding Rideshare Accidents

Rideshare accidents can be more complicated than typical car accidents because they often involve multiple parties, including the rideshare driver, the rideshare company, other drivers, and even the rideshare passenger. Determining liability in these cases can be challenging, especially when rideshare companies have their own insurance policies that may come into play.

At Ironclad Injury Law, we have a deep understanding of the unique legal issues surrounding rideshare accidents. We are prepared to handle the complexities of these cases, including dealing with rideshare companies’ insurance policies and navigating the intricate web of liability.

Why You Need a Rideshare Accident Attorney

If you’ve been injured in a rideshare accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, but obtaining that compensation can be difficult without the right legal representation. Rideshare companies and their insurance providers often have extensive legal resources at their disposal, and they may attempt to minimize your claim or deny it altogether.

Hiring an experienced rideshare accident attorney from Ironclad Injury Law ensures that you have a strong advocate on your side. Our attorneys are skilled in handling rideshare accident cases and will fight to protect your rights and maximize your compensation.

Joining Multiple Defendants in a Rideshare Accident Case

One of the complexities of rideshare accident cases is that they often involve multiple defendants. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, you may need to pursue claims against:

• The Rideshare Driver: If the rideshare driver’s negligence caused the accident, they may be held liable for your injuries. This could include instances of distracted driving, speeding, or failure to obey traffic laws.
• The Rideshare Company: Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft have insurance policies that may cover accidents involving their drivers. However, the extent of this coverage can depend on whether the driver was logged into the app, had accepted a ride request, or was actively transporting a passenger at the time of the accident.
• Other Drivers: If another driver was responsible for the accident, they may also be held liable. In some cases, multiple drivers may share responsibility for the accident, requiring you to pursue claims against each one.
• Vehicle Manufacturers or Maintenance Providers: If a mechanical failure or defect contributed to the accident, the manufacturer of the vehicle or the company responsible for its maintenance may also be liable.

At Ironclad Injury Law, our attorneys are experienced in joining multiple defendants in rideshare accident cases. We will thoroughly investigate your accident to determine all liable parties and ensure that each one is held accountable for their role in your injuries.

Types of Compensation Available in Rideshare Accident Cases

If you’ve been injured in a rideshare accident, you may be entitled to various types of compensation, including:

• Medical Expenses: This includes coverage for emergency medical treatment, surgeries, hospital stays, medications, physical therapy, and any future medical care related to your injuries.
• Lost Wages: If your injuries prevent you from working, you may be entitled to compensation for the income you’ve lost. This can also include compensation for reduced earning capacity if your injuries impact your ability to work in the future.
• Pain and Suffering: Rideshare accidents can result in significant physical and emotional pain. You may be entitled to compensation for the pain and suffering you’ve endured as a result of the accident.
• Property Damage: If your personal property, such as your vehicle, was damaged in the accident, you may be entitled to compensation for the cost of repairs or replacement.
• Punitive Damages: In cases where the defendant’s conduct was particularly egregious, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.

How Ironclad Injury Law Proves Liability in Rideshare Accident Cases

Proving liability in a rideshare accident case requires a thorough investigation and a strategic approach. At Ironclad Injury Law, we leave no stone unturned in building a strong case on your behalf. Here’s how we do it:

1. Comprehensive Accident Investigation

Our attorneys begin by conducting a detailed investigation of the accident. We gather evidence such as:

• Accident Reports: Police reports can provide critical information about the circumstances of the accident and may include witness statements and citations issued to the drivers involved.
• Witness Testimonies: We collect statements from witnesses who saw the accident occur. These testimonies can help corroborate your version of events and establish the other party’s negligence.
• Surveillance Footage: In many cases, we can obtain video footage from nearby businesses or traffic cameras that captured the accident. This footage can provide clear evidence of how the accident happened.
• Driver Records: We examine the rideshare driver’s records, including their driving history and any prior incidents of reckless or negligent behavior.

2. Negotiating with Insurance Companies

With Stephen Murray, Esq., a former insurance defense attorney, leading our team, we have a unique advantage in negotiating with insurance companies. We understand how insurance companies assess claims and make decisions, allowing us to effectively counter their tactics and secure a fair settlement on your behalf.

3. Leveraging Technology to Prove Non-Economic Damages

At Ironclad Injury Law, we use cutting-edge technology to present compelling evidence of your non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. By utilizing advanced visual aids, expert testimony, and detailed documentation, we can effectively convey the full impact of your injuries to the insurance company or jury.

Types of Rideshare Accident Cases We Handle

Our experienced attorneys handle a wide range of rideshare accident cases, including:

• Passenger Injuries: If you were injured while riding as a passenger in an Uber or Lyft vehicle, we can help you pursue compensation from the rideshare driver, the rideshare company, or other parties involved.
• Pedestrian Accidents: If you were struck by a rideshare vehicle while walking, jogging, or crossing the street, we can help you hold the responsible parties accountable.
• Bicyclist Injuries: Rideshare vehicles frequently share the road with cyclists, and accidents can occur when drivers fail to yield or drive negligently. We represent cyclists who have been injured in rideshare accidents.
• Other Motor Vehicle Collisions: If you were driving another vehicle and were involved in a collision with a rideshare vehicle, we can help you navigate the complex legal issues and pursue compensation from all liable parties.
