Cankton Rideshare Accident Lawyer

If you or someone you know has been injured in a collision involving an Uber or Lyft vehicle, then it may be time to hire the legal services of a Cankton rideshare accident lawyer.

Liability and compensation can be challenging to determine and obtain, even in a traditional car accident. Yet, several additional nuances make rideshare accidents particularly difficult to recover damages. This is mostly because rideshare drivers differ from taxi drivers in that they are classified as independent workers and not employees of their respective companies.

If you or somebody you know is looking for a rideshare accident lawyer in or around Cankton, read on to learn how legal representation from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can help get you rolling on the road toward the compensation you deserve.

What Can I Receive Compensation For?

Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers has delivered hundreds of thousands of dollars to clients involved in various accidents. The firm is well-versed in various tangible and intangible damages, also called economic and non-economic damages. They are recoverable from the liable parties that are involved in a rideshare accident.

Medical care and income loss are recoverable on a current, future, and ongoing basis. Transportation costs to and from treatments for injuries incurred during the accident can also be compensable costs. Additional recoverable damages include in-home medical and domestic support and mental and physical pain and suffering costs.

Under the unfortunate circumstances that the injury is fatal, you will still be able to receive compensation for your loved one. You may request compensation for your loss of companionship and guidance, along with funeral and burial costs.

Who Is Liable in a Rideshare Accident?

Several parties are commonly held liable in rideshare accidents. These would include the ridesharing company, the driver working for the ridesharing company, or a third-party driver if you were the passenger using the ridesharing company’s services. Let us take a closer look at the circumstances under which each respective party could be held liable.

The Driver or the Rideshare Company

Louisiana law requires rideshare companies, like Lyft or Uber, to insure their drivers if they are engaged with the ridesharing app at the time of the accident. There are two common scenarios where the rideshare company could be held liable. The first is if the accident occurred when the app was on, and the driver waited for their passenger. The second is if the rideshare driver was actively picking up or transporting their passenger when the accident occurred.

The court may also hold the rideshare driver liable even if it is not immediately obvious their negligence was at fault. The driver’s insurance company could provide compensation under the circumstances that they were off duty or not logged into the app. In effect, the driver is considered a non-commercial driver on the road and could file an insurance claim for collision-related compensation like medical expenses and property damages.

The Third-Party Driver

The insurance company of a third-party driver may be another avenue towards compensation. If a driver other than the rideshare driver is determined to be at fault for the collision, then the victim may obtain compensation through an insurance claim or personal injury claim. Other third parties may include repair companies or manufacturers if vehicle failure is determined to be at fault. If poorly marked or maintained road conditions are at fault, the municipality to whose jurisdiction the road belongs to could be held liable.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
