Whether you want to head out for a night on the town or don’t have transportation of your own,
rideshare services like Lyft and Uber can be a convenient solution. But with the increasing popularity of these services, the number of accidents involving them has spiked.
Unfortunately,
filing a claim for compensation against Uber or Lyft can be quite complicated, and when you’re still recovering from your injuries, the last thing you need to be dealing with is the difficulty of such lawsuits.
Fortunately, with the help of an experienced car accident lawyer in Orange County, you can obtain the compensation that is rightfully yours. Read on to learn more about how to bring a civil lawsuit against a rideshare company and how much you can expect to recover when you win.
Bringing a Claim Against a Rideshare Company
When you’ve been injured in an Uber or Lyft accident, it can be difficult to figure out who should be responsible for your damages. Both rideshare companies are insured, but the circumstances of your collision will determine how we proceed with your claim.
If your
Lyft or
Uber driver was negligent in some way, we may be able to file a claim with the rideshare company that employed them and bring a claim against the driver or their own insurance policy. This is true whether you were a passenger in the rideshare car or were hit by someone transporting passengers through Uber or Lyft.
Exactly how we proceed with your case will depend on the details of your unique situation and the insurance policies of the driver and company in question. Filing a civil lawsuit against a national corporation can be intimidating, which is why having a seasoned attorney on your side can be so helpful.
You’re Entitled to Full Repayment of Your Damages
No matter who is responsible for covering the costs of your losses, you are entitled to maximum compensation for your suffering. Some of the various damages we will consider when determining how much your rideshare accident claim is worth include the following:
- Medical expenses, healthcare equipment, and installation fees
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- The impact of disfigurement or scarring
- Mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of household services
- Property damage
There is no reason you should be compelled to cover the costs you’ve incurred when you weren’t responsible for the accident you were involved in. An Orange County car accident attorney can make sure you don’t have to. We’re here to help you get the most out of your injury claim.
