First, check for injuries and move to safety if possible. Call emergency services if there’s serious harm. Gather information from other drivers and witnesses, and report the crash to both the rideshare platform and your own insurer. Then contact Ling Law Group for a free consultation to review your rights and next steps.
Medical bills are typically covered by the at‑fault party’s liability insurance, your own health coverage, and in some cases the rideshare insurer. An attorney helps evaluate applicable policies and pursue the parties responsible for costs as part of your claim.
California has a two‑year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, with some exceptions. It’s important to start the process as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
Yes. Rideshare drivers typically have liability coverage through the rideshare company, and may also have personal insurance depending on whether the app is on or off, and the driver’s status in the app.
Switching platforms after an accident is generally possible, but it can affect ongoing claims and coverage. An attorney can explain how switching might impact your case and help you navigate it.
Most rideshare cases settle out of court, but some disputes require court action. Your attorney will advise on the best path based on the facts, evidence, and settlement offers.
Fault is determined from a combination of police reports, eyewitness accounts, video evidence, and medical records. The facts establish who is liable for damages and what amounts may be recovered.
Critical documents include police reports, treatment records, billing statements, proof of lost wages, vehicle photos, and insurance contact information. Your attorney will provide a detailed checklist.
Many injury lawyers offer a contingency fee arrangement, meaning you don’t pay upfront. Fees are paid from any settlement or verdict, so there’s no out‑of‑pocket cost unless you win.
If the driver was on duty, the rideshare company’s liability coverage generally applies. A detailed review of policies helps determine the responsible insurer and the damages you can pursue.
