Navigating the Complexities of Ridesharing Accidents
We will thoroughly investigate your accident and work to identify all liable parties, which may include:
- The Rideshare Driver: If the rideshare driver’s negligence, such as distracted driving, speeding, or driving under the influence, caused the accident, they may be held liable.
- The Rideshare Company: Determining the extent of liability depends on the specific circumstances of the accident and the driver’s status at the time of the accident.
- Other Drivers: If another driver on the road caused the accident, we will file a claim against their insurance company to pursue compensation for your injuries.
Our legal team has extensive experience handling these types of cases and stays up to date on the nuances of changing rideshare laws and insurance policies. When you work with us, you can rest easy knowing you’ll receive comprehensive, informed advice.

Property Damage
You deserve to be compensated for any damage to your personal property, such as your vehicle or belongings, that occurred during the ridesharing accident. The cost of repairing or replacing your property after an accident you did not cause should not fall on your shoulders.

FAQs:
What should I do after a ridesharing accident?
Seek medical attention immediately, even if you don’t feel seriously injured. Make sure to report the accident to the rideshare company and the authorities, and gather information from the driver, other passengers, and any witnesses. Try to take photos of the scene and your injuries, as they could serve as valuable evidence later.
Finally, contact a ridesharing accident attorney as soon as possible to discuss your legal options.
Who is responsible for my medical bills after a ridesharing accident?
Determining liability and insurance coverage in ridesharing accidents can be complex.
