Houma Rideshare Accident Lawyer

Lyft and Uber allow customers flexibility, convenience, and ease of access to rides, at an affordable rate. Unfortunately, despite the many conveniences, rideshare drivers are responsible for some traffic accidents. If you or a loved one was injured in a rideshare accident, a Houma rideshare accident lawyer might be able to help you fully understand your rights and what legal options you could pursue.

Whether you were riding in the Uber as a passenger, struck in your vehicle by an Uber driver, or hit by an Uber driver while you were walking or biking, you likely have legal recourse available to you. A Houma rideshare accident lawyer may be able to advise you through the process and assist you towards getting the compensation you are entitled to.

Common Rideshare Accident Injuries

The losses incurred by a rideshare accident victim can be significant. Often, victims are left injured, without a vehicle, and facing unexpected expenses. In some cases, these victims are even left with a permanent disability or disfigurement. If you have been injured because of a rideshare accident, you may be considering a claim. These legal processes can be complicated and difficult to navigate for anyone.

As rideshare companies have become more popular, more accidents have been caused by these drivers. Any accident can be an inconvenience at least, and a tragedy at the worst. If you were in an accident due to the negligence of a rideshare driver, you are likely eligible for compensation. Some of the most common injuries seen in rideshare accidents include:

  • Burns, scrapes, and cuts
  • Whiplash
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Brain injuries
  • Broken and dislocated bones
  • Back and spinal cord injuries
  • Internal injuries
  • Facial scarring

What Damages Can I Claim?

Rideshare accidents leave victims injured and with unexpected bills. Victims of rideshare accidents may be able to claim a variety of damages in order to obtain compensation. While not all of these damages may apply to your specific case, rideshare accident victims sometimes claim:

  • Medical bills (past and future)
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Missed time at work
  • Therapy (physical and emotional)
  • Emotional distress
  • Pain and suffering
  • Vehicle repair bills

Calculating what damages you are due is a complex process. A Houma rideshare lawyer may be able to help you determine which damages you can claim and how much compensation you are entitled to.

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

How Long Do I Have to File My Claim?

If you or a loved one has been injured in a rideshare accident, you may be considering a lawsuit. The statute of limitations is how long a person is able to file a suit. After the statute of limitations has passed, in most cases, you have no legal recourse. Statutes of limitations vary from state to state and are different for different cases.

For a rideshare accident in Louisiana, the statute of limitations is two years as per CC Art. 3492. In other words, you have precisely one calendar year from the time of the accident to file your case. It can be beneficial to you to act quickly. If you are considering a lawsuit in regard to your Houma rideshare accident, a Houma rideshare accident lawyer may be able to set you on the right foot with a free case review today.

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

How Long Do Rideshare Accident Cases Take?

Our team is ready to take your case all the way to trial if it is necessary to get you the compensation you are due. In the majority of rideshare accident cases, this is not necessary. However, it can take a long time to reach a settlement agreement in which all parties are satisfied.

In many cases, the insurance company may offer you a low-ball settlement. Insurance companies want you to take their first offer, which is usually much less money than you are due. There may end up being many rounds of negotiation before a settlement is agreed upon. Whether you need to file a lawsuit, and your case goes to court, or if it is settled before then, it can be advantageous to have experienced Houma rideshare accident lawyers on your side. Our team of experienced attorneys are comfortable and familiar with the legalities and processes. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers will be on your side while you focus on your recovery.
