When you trust your case to a personal injury lawyer from our team, we will investigate what occurred and determine who was at fault for your accident. Some possible causes and contributing factors to Pennsylvania rideshare accidents include:
Trying to maximize income, rideshare drivers might take risks or drive distracted more often than others, increasing the risk of crashes. However, the insurance coverage available depends on the driver’s status on the rideshare app at the time of the accident.
If the driver was working for Uber or Lyft when the accident occurred, the rideshare company should provide an insurance policy, your first party benefits, as well as liability coverage, if the driver is at fault.
To recover fair compensation for you after a rideshare accident in McCandless, we must investigate what happened and gather evidence of fault and liability. In a rideshare accident case, this may include:
This evidence helps establish whether the rideshare driver acted negligently and caused the crash. It also determines if Uber or Lyft’s provided insurance coverage applies and how much the victim’s case might be worth.
Rideshare insurance depends on the app status at the time of the crash. Both Uber and Lyft provide liability insurance when their drivers cause a collision, but what coverages/policies are in effect depends on the driver’s activity on the app at the time.
The types of damages recoverable after a rideshare accident depend on the type of claim you can file. When you have serious injuries, the recoverable damages in a Pennsylvania rideshare crash could include:
In Pennsylvania, you generally have two years from the date of a rideshare crash to file a personal injury lawsuit, per Pa. C.S.A. § 5524. This deadline applies to most car accident cases, including rideshare injury claims. Missing the deadline could make it difficult or impossible to recover fair compensation for your injuries and other damages.
Sometimes, there are other deadlines before the statute of limitations expires. For example, you may only have a short time to file a claim based on your no-fault coverage.
