First, ensure everyone is safe and call emergency services if needed. Next, obtain the other driver’s information and file a crash report if required by law. Finally, contact a rideshare accident attorney to review your options and start preserving evidence. You should also seek medical attention even if you feel fine, as some injuries may become apparent later. A prompt evaluation helps protect your rights and strengthens your claim.
In many cases, the at-fault driver’s liability insurance covers medical bills and damages. If you were driving and the rideshare app was active, the rideshare company’s liability coverage may apply. Your own health insurance or a personal injury protection policy may help pay for treatment as you pursue a claim.
California generally gives you two years to file a personal injury claim, with some exceptions. Missing deadlines can bar your case, which is why timely consultation is important. If a death occurred, different timelines may apply for wrongful death claims.
Rideshare companies carry coverage that can apply depending on the app status and the phase of the ride. If the driver is en route to a passenger or is carrying a passenger, their coverage and the rideshare policy may come into play. In some cases, both policies may coordinate to compensate you.
Having a qualified attorney helps ensure you don’t miss important deadlines, document requirements, or opportunities to recover full compensation. An experienced attorney can explain your options, negotiate with insurers, and pursue litigation if needed.
If the other driver has little or no insurance, you may rely on the rideshare policy or uninsured/underinsured motorist protection. A lawyer can help determine the best path to recover medical costs, lost wages, and other damages.
Proving fault typically involves collecting the police report, witness statements, photos of the scene, and medical records. Your attorney helps organize this evidence and uses it to support liability.
Key documents include the crash report, medical records and bills, proof of wage loss, photographs from the scene, insurance information, and any correspondence with insurers.
Settlement timelines vary based on complexity, medical recovery, and insurer negotiations. Some cases resolve in a few months, while others may take longer if litigation is required.
Many rideshare cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay attorney fees only if we recover compensation. If there is a recovery, fees are a percentage of the final settlement or verdict.
