Key steps include collecting evidence, confirming driver status, identifying liable parties, and pursuing insurance or legal remedies.
This glossary explains essential terms you may see in a rideshare accident case in Livingston.
Definition: Insurance coverage for rideshare rides changes as the driver toggles the app, is en route, or waiting for a ride; different policies may apply.
Liability refers to who is at fault and who pays for injuries, while damages cover medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Damages include medical costs, vehicle repair, and compensation for time off work; settlements are negotiated with insurers or through the courts.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the accident, with some exceptions.
Possible routes include private settlements with insurers, claims through Uber/Lyft, or a civil lawsuit if needed.
If injuries are minor and fault is straightforward, a negotiated settlement can often be resolved quickly.
Documenting expenses and medical costs helps support a fair settlement even when pursued without a full suit.
