Rideshare Accident Lawyer in Tacoma

Name: Rideshare Accidents
Brand: Park Chenaur Injury Lawyers
Rating: 4.9 (199 reviews)

Although rideshare services are convenient for getting around the city, the drivers are not professionally trained. Anyone with a decent vehicle can become an Uber or Lyft driver. Has a rideshare driver’s negligence left you injured? These cases are more complex, requiring the help of a rideshare attorney in Tacoma with the skills to pursue full compensation.

Rideshare Company Insurance: When You Are Covered

All Uber and Lyft drivers must carry personal auto insurance. The rideshare company insures the driver only when the driver is picking up a passenger or transporting them. The company does not cover the driver when the driver is not using the app. In these cases, the driver’s auto insurance kicks in.

Types of Rideshare Accidents

A rideshare driver can cause injuries to others in various scenarios. A rideshare accident could injure you if you are:

A passenger: You can get hurt in a car crash while riding in a rideshare driver’s vehicle. The driver might be at fault if they run a red light, speed, or behave carelessly.
The occupant of another car: An accident involving a rideshare driver causes an accident that injures a driver or passenger in another vehicle.
A bicyclist or pedestrian: A rideshare driver may injure non-motorists, such as a bicyclist or pedestrian.

Rideshare Accidents: Types of Injuries

Injuries in rideshare accidents vary in severity. Some are minor and will heal without lingering issues. Others are debilitating, requiring extensive medical care. Rideshare accidents can lead to psychological injuries, too. The emotional effects of an accident can outlast any physical injury and create daily hardships. The most common injuries in rideshare accidents include:

Broken bones
Visible scars or disfigurement
Spinal cord injuries
Traumatic brain injuries

Severe whiplash
Internal bleeding
Paralysis

Burns
Nerve damage
Torn tendons, tissue, or ligaments

Pulled or strained muscles
Lacerations
Death

Compensation in Rideshare Accidents

You can hold the rideshare company liable for the driver’s negligent actions with the help of our experienced rideshare accident attorney in Tacoma. The damages pursued will include the following:

Economic damages: These are the hard costs associated with an injury. They include medical bills, lost wages, and future earning capacity.
Non-economic damages: These are more subjective losses, including pain and suffering, emotional anguish, loss of companionship, reduced quality of life, and the impact of disfiguring or life-altering injuries.

Determining the value of a rideshare accident requires legal knowledge and skill. At Park Chenaur Injury Lawyers, we have over 30 staff members and established relationships with top experts who can assist in determining the value of all damages. Our legal team collaborates on serious injury cases, including rideshare accidents, to ensure our clients pursue every form of compensation. As litigators, we are proud to have achieved a reputation for legal excellence and honored by the trust our clients put in us.

Who is Liable? The Driver or the Rideshare Company?

Every case must be carefully evaluated to determine liability. Uber and Lyft provide insurance when a driver travels to pick up or drop off a customer. The companies provide $1 million in commercial liability insurance when an accident occurs when the driver is transporting a customer.

If the driver is logged onto the app, waiting for a ride, and is involved in an accident injuring a third party, they provide $50,000 for injury or death of one person and $100,000 for multiple injured persons. When driving on their own time and not currently working for Uber or Lyft, the driver’s auto insurance comes into play.

I was in a car accident and tried to deal with the other insurance company on my own. The person I was dealing with was very aggressive and not easy to work with.

In the summer of 2022, I found myself in a stressful situation after a car accident. Despite it not being my fault, dealing with insurance was intimidating.
