Immediately after an accident, seek medical attention, call the police if needed, and document the scene. Then contact an experienced rideshare attorney to start protecting your rights. Keep records of all medical visits, expenses, and time off work; these are essential for building your claim.
Medical bills may be paid by the driver’s or platform’s insurance; coverage depends on app status and fault. An attorney can help determine who should pay and pursue insurance claims promptly to avoid gaps in coverage.
California generally allows a statute of limitations of two years for personal injury claims, but certain aspects may affect deadlines. It’s best to seek a case review soon after the incident to protect your rights.
Damages may include medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and out-of-pocket expenses. Punitive damages are typically not available in rideshare cases; focus on compensatory damages.
Hiring a lawyer can help you navigate complex insurance policies and negotiate on your behalf. A rideshare attorney can also assess liability and pursue appropriate remedies if needed.
