Key elements include proving liability, documenting injuries, and handling insurance negotiations, with a timeline from reporting to settlement or litigation.
Glossary items define terms you may encounter during the claim process.
Liability refers to the legal responsibility for damages caused by the rideshare driver, or the platform, depending on who is at fault.
Negligence means failing to exercise reasonable care, which can contribute to a crash.
Comparative fault is when liability is shared among parties, potentially reducing your recovery based on your own degree of fault.
