Whether you want to get home safely after a night out, don’t have a car, or want to get around Baytown quickly, rideshare services like Uber and Lyft can be a convenient and helpful solution. However, when you get into a car with an Uber or Lyft driver, you trust them and those around you to drive carefully and responsibly. Unfortunately, many people breach this duty and cause car accidents and serious injuries. If this is the case for you, our experienced Baytown rideshare accident lawyers at Mott & Moffett can help you file a claim and protect your rights.
Rideshare accident claims are often complicated because they typically involve major companies. Luckily, we’ve worked on these types of claims and understand what it takes to hold the liable party accountable and achieve total compensation for your injuries. Our Uber & Lyft accident attorneys help you manage every aspect of your claim and develop a customized plan based on your unique needs. With our unmatched legal services, you can have peace of mind that your claim is in capable hands.
If an Uber or Lyft driver causes an accident, the companies have insurance policies to cover damages to the victim. However, the amount of coverage that applies to your claim depends on the specific details of your accident. Uber and Lyft have nearly identical policies, and they involve the following:
If the rideshare driver causes an accident while signed into the company’s app and en route to pick up a passenger, Uber or Lyft will provide this coverage for victims. However, if a passenger is in the Uber or Lyft at the time of the accident, the rideshare company will provide up to $1 million to cover their injuries. Our Baytown rideshare accident attorneys understand these policies can be confusing, so we can help you determine if the rideshare company’s insurance coverage applies to you and how to secure your deserved compensation.
If you were a passenger in an Uber or Lyft and suffered injuries in an accident, you may not know whose negligence caused the crash because you were looking at your phone or not paying close attention to the road. While you may assume it was the rideshare driver’s fault, this is not always the case. Depending on the specific details of the incident, the following parties may be liable:
As the victim in the accident, you are responsible for presenting clear evidence that proves the liable party’s negligence directly caused the accident and your injuries. We can help you collect the necessary information to build a strong claim and seek justice.
Injuries from a rideshare accident can affect all aspects of your life, causing economic and non-economic damages. Depending on the severity of your injuries and other details of the accident, you may recover the following expenses:
While Uber and Lyft have insurance policies to cover these damages, your claim’s worth may exceed the company’s coverage. In this case, we can represent you and speak on your behalf both in and out of court using our advanced negotiation and litigation skills.
