The concept of ridesharing has become a popular way to get in and around Baton Rouge.
You Could Sue the Driver After a Rideshare Accident
In Louisiana, rideshare companies are considered common carriers. As such, they’re subject to certain regulations regarding liability under LA Rev Stat § 45:201.6. They could be liable for injuries suffered by passengers if they knew (or should have known) that the driver was likely to harm others.
If you believe the driver was acting recklessly or negligently at the time of the crash, you could pursue a personal injury claim. To do so, you’ll need to prove the driver acted unreasonably and that his or her actions led to your injuries. If you’ve been hurt because of a rideshare accident, we could help. Our Baton Rouge lawyers will review the details of your case and explain your legal rights and options.
