Pursuing Compensation After a Ridesharing Accident

If you were involved in a car accident with a rideshare driver, you might qualify for compensation. This may be true if you were a passenger in the rideshare vehicle or if you were in another car that was hit by a rideshare driver.

The insurance claim process for a ridesharing accident may be different from a normal car accident. For example, both Uber and Lyft provide their drivers with several tiers of insurance coverage for different situations. The ridesharing company’s insurance may cover accidents that occur when:

  • The app is on, and the driver is waiting for a ride, but they have not been matched with a passenger yet.
  • The app is on, and the driver has been matched with a passenger, or the passenger is in the vehicle being driven to their destination.

If the app is turned off, the rideshare driver’s personal insurance policy may cover an accident they cause.

A Jefferson Parish Uber and Lyft ridesharing accident lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can help you figure out what insurance policy may cover your damages.

To learn more about your legal rights and options, call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (504) 777-7777. A member of our team can review the qualities of your case during a free consultation.

You May Qualify for Two Types of Compensation

Your accident may entitle you to economic damages, noneconomic damages, or both.

Economic damages may compensate you for financial burdens stemming from the accident. These may include:

  • Loss of income: If you missed work due to your injuries or the accident and thus couldn’t earn wages, tips, and benefits as usual
  • Lost earning capacity: If you can no longer earn the kind of money you did before your injuries
  • Medical costs: If you received medical care for your injuries, such as a trip to the hospital, other emergency care, pain medications, surgery, assistive devices, or related treatment going forward
  • Property damage: If your car requires repairs or the insurance company totaled it

Noneconomic damages may compensate you for your bodily injuries, both physical and psychological. These may include:

  • Pain and suffering: If your injuries caused you any distress, either physical or emotional
  • Disfigurement: If you have significant scarring caused by your injuries
  • Disability: If your injuries affected your physical or intellectual abilities

You may need to prove the value of your damages for your insurance claim or lawsuit. With economic damages, you may be able to calculate the value by adding up your missed paychecks, medical bills, and other documented expenses. With non-economic damages, it is often more difficult to assign appropriate dollar amounts. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can help you with this process when we represent you.

Let a Lawyer From Our Firm Do the Hard Work

The length and difficulty of your lawsuit may depend on many factors, such as how many liable parties there are, how the accident affected your life, and whether or not the liable party’s insurance company is cooperative with your case.

Instead of trying to handle everything yourself, let Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers assume your legal burden. We can take care of every aspect of your lawsuit while you focus on your recovery. Our services may include the following:

Managing the Communications

We can communicate with all parties on your behalf, including the insurance companies or their lawyers. Doing so allows us to control the narrative of your case, protecting it from any potential issues that may arise, such as accusations of fault.

Looking for Evidence

We can go to various sources to strengthen your claim, searching for corroborating evidence. This evidence may take the form of:

  • A police report
  • Your medical records
  • Witness statements
  • Surveillance video from nearby businesses, traffic cameras, and other sources
  • Photos of the scene of the accident
  • Photos of your car and injuries

Our lawyers can use such evidence to determine what happened and prove fault, liability for your damages, and the value of your case. The more evidence we collect early on, the more likely we’ll be able to build a compelling case against the liable party.

Preparing Your Insurance Claim or Lawsuit

In addition to putting together evidence, we can help you identify all possible types of damages you may qualify to receive and even put a “price tag” on each one. We handle this task carefully to ensure that:

  • No potentially recoverable damages get left out of your case
  • Your case accurately reflects the cost of these damages
  • We limit any unexpected out-of-pocket costs related to the rideshare collision once the case closes

As your lawyer builds your case, they can talk to you about your options and the best course of action. Then, once everything is set, we can notify all potentially liable parties about your insurance claim or lawsuit.

Seeking Compensation Through a Settlement

After filing your insurance claim, Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can sit at the negotiating table to argue for compensation on your behalf. Many personal injury cases resolve at this stage.

We may go through several rounds of negotiations, depending on the insurer’s settlement offers. If you receive a settlement offer that addresses the damages you experienced, you are free to accept it, and we’ll proceed to close the case. Otherwise, our attorneys can continue negotiating or take the case to trial.

Going to Court in Jefferson Parish

If the insurance company does not make you a fair settlement offer, your lawyer may be able to take your case to trial, where they can try to convince a judge or jury to award you compensation.

We will explain what to expect from this process and prepare you for any court appearances you need to make.

You Have Little Time to Act After a Collision in Louisiana

Be aware that Louisiana sets a two-year statute of limitations, or legal time limit, on personal injury lawsuits, per CC Art. 3492. Waiting longer than two years after your accident to take legal action could mean the court dismisses your lawsuit.

Once our team takes on your case, we’ll identify the filing deadline and prepare your case accordingly.

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.
