How Damages Make a Difference After a Rideshare Accident

Uber and Lyft accidents affect victims’ lives in any number of ways, and every victim’s injuries are different. Our rideshare accident attorneys in Freeport investigate carefully to determine which of the following types of damages our clients are eligible for:
  • Medical expenses, including both short-term emergency treatment and long-term care
  • Lost income, including wages you missed by taking time off work, and any earning capacity you have lost due to chronic injuries
  • Pain and suffering, including all physical and emotional distress connected with the injuries you suffered
  • Diminished quality of life, if you have lost the ability to take care of yourself or others, or to engage in enjoyable hobbies or activities
You have a limited time to pursue these and other damages after an auto accident. Not only does the law impose a strict deadline, evidence you might need to support your case often becomes more difficult to find the more time goes by. (It is also very important to note that a shorter statute of limitations than the one linked may apply to your situation, depending upon the circumstances of your case. It is best to take advantage of a free case review with our firm so that you know exactly what deadlines you are facing and what your best options for legal action are.) Call Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., to get started on your case as soon as possible.

Our Freeport Rideshare Accident Lawyers Know What Makes These Cases Different

Freeport residents may hire a rideshare driver for any number of reasons. Maybe they need a ride to JFK, or maybe they want to be able to enjoy a night out on the waterfront without having to worry about how they will get home. Just as the reasons for using an Uber or Lyft differ in every case, so do the reasons that rideshare accidents happen in Freeport—and how the insurance companies react to claims or lawsuits. That is why every case requires a customized approach. We understand that no two cases are alike. This is especially true of rideshare accident claims, which often involve complicating factors like:
  • Multiple insurance companies: You might have to contend with your own no-fault insurance company, the rideshare driver’s insurer, and the rideshare company’s insurer, depending on your circumstances.
  • Serious injuries: We must prove your injury is “serious,” as defined by state law, before you are allowed to file a claim or lawsuit against the at-fault party.
  • Liability: In cases involving so many parties, figuring out who is liable is often complex, especially if one or more of these parties try to deflect blame.
Even cases that initially seem straightforward could turn out to be more complicated than you expected. With our firm on the job, you do not have to deal with roadblocks or hurdles by yourself.

Do You Sue a Rideshare Company After an Accident?

There are two parts of this question to consider:
  • Do you sue after an accident: Not necessarily. In many cases, we are able to secure a pretrial settlement by negotiating with the insurance company, but we are always prepared to file a lawsuit as well.
  • Do you take action against a rideshare company specifically: If the rideshare company was negligent (e.g., they failed to vet their drivers), or if their insurance company is responsible for paying your damages but refuses to do so, then yes, you could take action against the company.
Determining who was negligent is a key component of personal injury cases. The negligent party or parties are the ones who owe you compensation for serious injuries. If the rideshare company is not liable in your case, you might still be able to file a claim or lawsuit against:
  • The rideshare driver, if they displayed reckless behavior behind the wheel, e.g., speeding, ignoring red lights, or following too closely
  • A different driver, if someone other than the rideshare driver was careless
  • A maintenance team, if poor vehicle or road maintenance caused the crash
Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., is not intimidated by large insurers or rideshare companies. We will take on these parties as we fight for the compensation you need.
