Harvey Rideshare Accident Lawyer

If you or someone you know has been in an accident involving an Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare service, you might be wondering what your next steps should be. Don’t worry. When it comes to rideshare accidents, you can always count on a rideshare accident lawyer to help you. 

Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers has a Harvey rideshare accident lawyer who can take you through every step until you get compensation.

Factors That Lead to Rideshare Accidents

When using a rideshare vehicle, you typically have little control over your safety. You’re at an increased risk for harm due to driver negligence or road conditions. 

For example, many rideshare accidents happen when:

  • Drivers fall asleep at the wheel
  • Drivers get distracted behind the wheel
  • Bad weather conditions
  • Faulty cars

If you were involved in a collision caused by one of these factors, it’s important you know how to hold negligent parties responsible and be compensated for damages.

When the Rideshare Company is Liable

A rideshare driver has a responsibility to follow local traffic laws and maintain a safe vehicle for their passengers. If you’ve been injured in an accident involving a rideshare driver, connect with a lawyer from our firm for help securing any financial compensation that may be owed to you. 

It helps to have representation when seeking compensation from Uber or Lyft themselves.

Determining Liability

When you are injured in a rideshare accident, your personal injury attorney can help determine if you have grounds to file a personal injury claim against Uber or Lyft’s insurance carrier. In many situations, you may be able to. Typically, when the driver’s app is on and they are completing a ride, on the way to pick up passengers, or waiting for a rider, the rideshare company’s insurance would kick in. If the app is off, the driver’s personal insurance would be responsible for damages.

In some cases, if the driver was off duty and not driving on behalf of their company, their insurer may be able to offer compensation under what’s called Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UM/UIM). UM/UIM coverage will protect drivers when another driver does not have enough auto insurance coverage to compensate for your damages.

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

Getting Medical Care for Your Harvey Rideshare Accident

If You’re Injured Because of Rideshare Driver Negligence

It can be hard to know what to do next if you are injured because of a rideshare driver’s negligence. It is best to acquire one of our personal injury lawyers who know how these types of cases work. They can help you get fair compensation for all damages incurred.

Difficulty in Proving Driver Negligence

Sometimes, it may not be easy to prove that driver negligence caused the accident, especially if there weren’t any witnesses during the incident. However, there are ways for our Harvey rideshare accident lawyers to collect evidence and make a strong case against Uber or Lyft. 

The first step in recovering from an accident is realizing that there’s more to it than meets the eye. Depending on where you live, both Uber and Lyft have clauses in their service agreements saying they aren’t responsible if their drivers harm passengers in any way. Regardless, we will do everything we can to achieve justice.

Denying Responsibility

It is illegal for companies like these to deny responsibility when one of their drivers causes an accident (sometimes referred to as negligent entrustment). When filing a claim against Uber or Lyft, your Harvey injury attorney will look into whether negligent entrustment was applicable in your situation. 

Hiring Our Harvey Rideshare Accident Lawyer to Represent You

After a rideshare accident, it’s crucial to hire a legal professional who knows how to pursue compensation for your damages and losses. Although your insurance company will make initial contact after an accident, they’re typically not interested in paying out maximum compensation. 

Our rideshare accident lawyer will know how to negotiate with insurance companies and go after payments that cover:

  • Medical expenses
  • Vehicle damage
  • Wage loss
  • Pain and suffering
  • And more if you qualify

The Cost of Legal Representation

In most cases, personal injury lawyers are available on a contingency-fee-basis, meaning there is no cost unless you receive compensation from your case. Attorney fees are deducted from any settlement or jury award. Hiring our personal injury attorney also means that you don’t have to fight for your rights alone.

Lawyers usually handle all aspects of cases like rideshare accidents, including taking photos of vehicles and injuries at crash scenes and following up with police investigations as needed. All you have to do is focus on your recovery. Our firm will handle all the legal work.

Contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers

Accidents can be very scary. However, if you were hurt in an Uber, Lyft, or taxi accident in Jefferson Parish, you can hire a lawyer from our firm specializing in rideshare accident lawsuits.

If you have been involved in any type of rideshare accident leading to injury or losses, contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers for help. We have an attorney who is ready to go to bat for you and secure the compensation you deserve after a preventable rideshare accident.
