As rideshare services become more prevalent, the likelihood of a traffic accident involving one of these company vehicles increases. Whether you’re a passenger in the rideshare car or you’re in another vehicle entirely, these matters are really no different from your typical car accident case. The important thing is that you seek legal representation as soon as possible after an incident. Your rights as a passenger or driver must be protected, especially if you were not at fault. Read on to learn how we guide our clients and protect their rights in the case of a rideshare accident.

Immediate Legal Guidance

Having legal counsel on the site of a rideshare car accident would be wise. Not only can they help document the scene by collecting evidence and testimony, but they can encourage victims to get a jump on the process and strengthen their case through a few key avenues: medical examinations and police reports. Seeking immediate medical attention allows you to receive the treatment you need while also serving as vital evidence to your personal injury claim. Similarly, a police report will be critical when moving forward with insurance claims or any other potential legal proceedings. It’s also required by state law when there is an injury, a fatality, or over $1,000 of property damage.

Insurance Claims & Communication

Interacting with the rideshare company and their team of attorneys yourself can be very tricky. With your limited knowledge of proper legal proceedings and potential loopholes, you’re more likely to have your rights violated without you realizing. A professional attorney can act on your behalf, communicating with the rideshare company and their insurance provider on your behalf. Many attorneys actually take care of the claim filing process from start to finish, and your lawyer will ensure that your rights are protected at every turn.

Expertise & Representation

Rideshare accidents require a certain amount of legal expertise to keep up with the intricacies of the case. The various rideshare insurance coverage periods add another layer of complexity, which often demands intimate knowledge of the local and federal law. When you hire an attorney, not only are you gaining access to their vast legal expertise, but you’re securing their services in case you need representation in court. A lawyer will fight for your rights to ensure that no one takes advantage of your position.
