Recovering Damages After An Anaheim Rideshare Accident

Uber and Lyft distance themselves from liability by arguing that their drivers are not employees but independent contractors. This distinction helps them avoid lawsuits from accident victims.

While both Lyft and Uber feature $1 million insurance policies for passengers and drivers injured in rideshare accidents, determining when and if those insurance policies apply to your accident can be complex.

Filing a Claim Against the Negligent Rideshare Driver

Rideshare companies require their drivers to have personal auto insurance, so you’ll need to file a claim with the rideshare driver’s insurer before you can seek compensation from the rideshare company. If you sustained a catastrophic injury, you may be able to take advantage of the rideshare company’s $1 million insurance policy.

Pursuing Compensation from the Rideshare Company

Rideshare companies such as Uber and Lyft have teams of claims adjusters and defense attorneys who will fight you every step of the way, making recovering compensation from a rideshare company a complex process. Fortunately, you don’t have to go through it alone. An Anaheim Uber and Lyft accident lawyer at the Ibrahim Law Firm can help you file a claim against the parties responsible for your damages and will work tirelessly to help you recover every penny of compensation you’re owed.

What Damages Can I Pursue After An Uber or Lyft Accident?

There are various types of economic and non-economic damages available to accident victims. The damages you’re entitled to will depend on the circumstances surrounding your accident.

In some cases, rideshare accident victims can recover compensation for:

Pain and suffering
Past and future medical care costs
Lost wages
Property damage
Loss of consortium
Emotional distress
Loss of quality of life
Loss of enjoyment of life
Permanent disability
Scarring and disfigurement

And More.

The total amount of compensation available will vary depending on the severity of your injuries, the cost of past and future medical care, how much time you missed at work, and many other variables.

What to Do After a Rideshare Accident

After being involved in a rideshare accident, you must make sure that everyone involved is okay and that you document as much as possible to strengthen your claim. You should also contact an Uber and Lyft accident attorney immediately following the collision before you speak with the other driver’s insurance company or report the accident to Lyft or Uber. This applies if you’re another motorist, a passenger in a rideshare vehicle, or a rideshare driver.

Move your vehicle

Immediately following the car crash, you should move your vehicle to the shoulder of the road to prevent a secondary accident. If you’re not able to move your vehicle you should turn on your hazard lights, to warn other motorists of the accident.

Seek medical treatment

If you sustained injuries in a rideshare accident you should get prompt medical treatment. Contact 911 and report the accident. The paramedics will respond to the scene and provide emergency medical care until you can be transported to the emergency room. You should always seek medical care regardless of how serious you believe your injuries are and have a doctor evaluate you. A doctor will examine you and document your injuries so you’ll have a record of receiving medical treatment.

Even if you feel fine, you should still have a medical evaluation at an urgent care facility as soon as possible, if you don’t want to be treated in the ER. Some types of injuries may not present symptoms right away and your body has likely released adrenaline, which can mask symptoms. A physician can evaluate you for any injuries that can be hard to identify and order the appropriate tests.

Contact law enforcement

If your injuries are not life-threatening, contact law enforcement to report the accident. They will arrive at the scene and interview all parties involved, documenting the accident scene in an accident report, which you can use to strengthen your claim.

Document the scene

If you’re able to walk around, document the accident scene by taking photos of the scene from a variety of angles, taking photos of both vehicles, and your injuries.

Obtain witness contact information

If anyone witnessed the accident, obtain their name and contact information. Your attorney will want to speak with them.

Contact an Uber and Lyft accident lawyer
