Henderson Rideshare Accident Lawyer

Ridesharing is undoubtedly one of the most in-demand public transportation options available today. Unfortunately, the rise of the rideshare industry has also been accompanied by an increase in road accidents and injury claims. These claims can get complicated. However, a Henderson rideshare accident lawyer at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can guide you through the process so that you can receive compensation for your losses.

Advantages of a Personal Injury Lawyer with Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers

A personal injury lawyer on our team can provide a crucial advantage after getting into a rideshare accident. On your behalf, they can:

  • Gather evidence
  • Review the police report
  • Quantify your losses
  • Establishing negligence
  • Communicate with the liable insurer and other parties
  • Send a demand letter to the other party or their insurer
  • Negotiate a settlement
  • Argue your case before a jury, if necessary

Remember that insurance companies, with their own team of lawyers, are known to employ questionable tactics to limit how much money they pay out. Given the complicated nature of ridesharing, an accident victim can easily accept a low settlement without having legal representation. Let an attorney at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers guide you throughout the process so that you recover a fair settlement.

Cost of Working with a Henderson Rideshare Accident Lawyer on Our Team

Some personal injury lawyers charge hourly rates, but our attorneys have a cost-efficient solution for claimants. It’s known as a contingency arrangement, where the attorney receives a portion of the claimant’s final settlement or court award.

This is why personal injury lawyers can be particular when accepting clients. If a claim is too weak, they run the risk of not getting paid for their services. Before committing to the client, they must pore through a case and assess its merits and overall validity.

Our Previous Clients Have Shared Their Experiences of Working with Us

Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers has more than 350 years of combined legal experience, and our attorneys have recovered over $200 million for our clients. In addition to going after the compensation our clients deserve, we ensure they receive responsive and caring client services. Take a look at one of our client testimonials:

“I was feeling more and more pain and went to the doctor. I had two surgeries in my neck and my back. I made an appointment with David and it was a real good experience. He worked with me all the way and was like a good friend in a time of need. I don’t think anybody could have done a better job than he did.” —Keith

“David was a phenomenal individual. I felt secure; I felt that he was protecting me and my family, and he was going to get what us what we deserved. He was a great lawyer and went above and beyond.” —Kelsie

Although we cannot guarantee a specific financial outcome, our attorneys will pursue the compensation you need to rebuild your life.

Determining Compensation Eligibility After a Car Crash in Henderson

Each personal injury case has its own set of circumstances that can impact its result. However, any person who has suffered some kind of loss due to another person’s negligence is often eligible for compensation.

First, a claimant must present evidence that they have suffered a loss; second, they must prove that the defendant is responsible for that loss; third, they must quantify or attach a price to the loss before the insurance company or a judge or jury.

Rideshare accident victims can usually file claims to cover their past and projected medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and even funeral and burial costs if a loved one had perished in the accident.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

Establishing Liability in Rideshare Accidents

Despite its popularity, rideshares are a novel concept with many gray areas. So many entities and factors are involved, and while rideshare drivers don’t necessarily have a unique set of laws to follow, the companies they work for have their own rules for establishing liability. The party responsible for paying damages is based on if the driver’s working circumstances at the time of the crash.

  • If the app was off, the rideshare driver’s personal auto insurance will pay for the damages.
  • If the driver had the app on and was waiting for a ride, the rideshare company’s insurance may cover the losses.
  • If the driver was on their way to pick up a passenger or in the middle of giving someone a ride, the rideshare company’s insurance will pay for the damages.

Rideshare passengers aren’t the only ones who can receive compensation from the rideshare companies. Third parties who were not in the rideshare vehicle and the rideshare driver may be entitled to recover damages if they were hurt in an accident.

In any case, a Henderson rideshare accident lawyer at our firm can offer legal perspective and direction, ensuring that liability is pinned on the right party and the victims receive fair compensation by the end of the process.

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

The Statute of Limitations on Rideshare Accident Lawsuits in Louisiana

After getting hurt in a car accident, the law specifies a time frame for the injured party to file a lawsuit against the other. This time frame is known as the statute of limitations, and it varies from one state to another.

In Henderson, Louisiana, rideshare accident victims generally have two years to file a lawsuit from the date of the accident, per CC Art. 3492. If you lost a loved one to their accident-related injuries, the same timeline usually applies to wrongful death lawsuits, according to CC Art. 2315.2. However, the state may extend in rare cases.

Generally, those who file their cases after the prescribed time window get them dismissed, whether or not the defendant motions for it.

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.
