Contact Us Now For HelpIdentifying the Driver’s Status After a Rideshare Crash in Monroeville, PA
Rideshare accident cases can be complex, depending on the rideshare driver’s status when the crash occurred. Lyft and Uber state that if they weren’t online at the time, their personal auto coverage would cover the damages. However, if they were online and waiting for a ride, the rideshare company’s insurance would apply.
If the driver was actively transporting a passenger or on their way to pick them up, you could file a claim with the rideshare company’s policy, which provides at least $1 million in coverage for injuries and property damage. One of our Monroeville rideshare accident lawyers can identify which policy applies to your situation and help you file your claim.
Proving Negligence and Your Right to Compensation
Figuring out the driver’s status during the accident is a crucial step toward recovering your damages. Gathering evidence to show fault and your eligibility for compensation is crucial for your claim. Although each case is different, common evidence in these cases includes:
- The crash report
- Photos of the scene and your injuries
- Medical bills and records
- Photos or evaluations of the damaged vehicles
- Eyewitness testimony
- Accident reconstruction analysis
- Traffic camera footage
We may find that the rideshare driver, a local government agency, a parts manufacturer, or another road user was to blame for the crash. Sometimes, our investigation may reveal that multiple parties are at fault. In that case, we’ll pursue any responsible party to help you secure fair financial recovery.
As we build your case, we’ll work to show that it meets all the legal requirements for proving negligence. That means demonstrating four key things: the at-fault party had a responsibility to drive safely (a duty of care), they failed to meet that responsibility (a breach), their actions caused the crash (causation), and you suffered losses because of it (damages). Proving these elements is essential to recovering compensation for the toll the accident has taken on your life.
You need an attorney with the experience and dedication to give your case the care it deserves.
