Who May Bring a Savannah Rideshare Injury Claim

Passengers aren’t the only people who may have a bodily injury claim after a collision. When the facts and applicable law support a claim, it may be available to:

• Uber or Lyft passengers.
• Uber or Lyft drivers.
• Pedestrians.
• Cyclists.
• Occupants of other vehicles.

Responsibility may rest with the rideshare driver, another motorist, or both. Available compensation can also depend on multiple sources of coverage, including the driver’s policy and insurance connected to transportation network companies that arrange rides through an app.

How We Handle Rideshare Accident Claims

We begin by learning how the crash occurred, what injuries resulted, and what documentation is available. Early records of medical care, crash details, and known insurance information can help establish the facts.

Our claim process includes:

• Investigating the incident: We conduct a thorough investigation based on the circumstances of the collision.
• Collecting evidence: We gather available documentation of the crash and injuries.
• Reviewing app status: We determine whether the driver was offline, available for rides, responding to a request, or completing a trip.
• Assessing damages: After filing a claim, we evaluate the losses connected to the injuries and their financial effects.
• Handling the claim: We negotiate with the parties involved and provide court representation when necessary.

Potential Damages After an Uber or Lyft Accident

The value of a claim depends on the injuries, treatment needs, financial losses, available insurance, and evidence of fault. Compensation isn’t automatic. The facts and applicable law determine which damages may be pursued.

Potential compensation categories may include:

• Medical bills and anticipated future treatment needs.
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity.
• Pain and suffering and emotional distress.
• Long-term care or necessary home and vehicle modifications in serious injury claims.
