Common Causes of Rideshare Accidents

Even though rideshare drivers go through background checks before the company contracts them, many factors expose them to more accident risks than other drivers.

For example, rideshare drivers are more likely to work multiple jobs, making them prone to fatigue and drowsiness while on the road. They also rely on smartphones to navigate, which increases distraction and gives them less time to react if there is a collision. These are a few factors contributing to the high number of rideshare accidents.

Other significant causes of rideshare accidents include:

  • Driving under the influence (DUI)
  • Speeding
  • Vehicle defects
  • Bad weather or road conditions
  • Violation of traffic rules (such as texting while driving)
  • Inexperience

What You Should Do After a Rideshare Accident

If you are involved in a rideshare accident, it is advisable to follow the steps below:

Call the Authorities

If you can, call the police immediately. The police are responsible for securing the accident scene and compiling a report on the cause of the accident and witnessing testimonials. This report is critical to your compensation claim.

Seek Medical Attention

In case of an accident, your priority should be to assess if you have sustained any serious injuries. If you don’t have any injuries, check the conditions of other people involved in the accident. Ensure you seek medical attention no matter the severity of the injury.

Consult a Rideshare Accident Lawyer

Determining who is liable for your injuries can be challenging in a rideshare accident. For this reason, it is essential to contact a rideshare accident lawyer to help you navigate your case and improve your chances of getting the compensation you deserve.

File a Rideshare Claim

The decision to file a rideshare claim is entirely up to you. After consultation, our personal injury lawyers will assess your case and inform you of its eligibility. If you wish to go ahead with the claim, the lawyers will explain all the relevant details about your case, the legal process, and help you make a claim.

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

Can I Get Compensation?

If your rideshare accident results from the rideshare driver’s negligence, you are eligible for compensation. The compensation will help you recover money used to cover medical expenses such as emergency room visits, doctor’s services, consultations, prescription medication, and physical therapy costs.

If your property was damaged following the accident, a personal injury lawyer can help seek compensation for the damaged property.

Who Is Liable for My Damages?

In most rideshare accidents, the driver assumes liability. In case of a serious accident, the driver’s insurance policy may not cover medical bills, rehabilitation and therapy costs, lost wages, or any other damages sustained in the accident. A rideshare accident lawyer may hold the rideshare company responsible in a situation like this.

If you are involved in a rideshare accident and unsure of who is liable for your injuries, contact a rideshare accident lawyer to determine accountability and ensure you are compensated for your injuries and damages appropriately.

What Can This Type of Lawyer Accomplish?

Our rideshare accident lawyer will analyze how the accident occurred, review medical reports, and collect evidence to determine who is liable for your injuries.

Even when a rideshare driver is responsible for the accident, the rideshare company may still deny liability and fight the claim. For this reason, it is imperative to have a New Iberia rideshare accident lawyer represent you when dealing with the rideshare insurance company to ensure you are compensated.

When Can I File?

In Louisiana, you only have two years to file a personal injury claim in case of an accident (CC 3493.1). Remember that rideshare accidents involve several insurance companies, increasing the time needed to negotiate and reach a settlement. For this reason, ensure you contact a rideshare accident lawyer immediately before your claim becomes void.

What does It Cost to Hire Your Lawyers?

At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, you do not have to pay any fee unless we settle your claim. Call us today to schedule a free initial consultation with our lawyers, and we can start your case today.
