 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. With LLN attorneys Harry and Gerardo I never had to worry. I never had to worry about whether LLN is going get me the best settlement possible…or rollover at the first offer. Harry and Gerardo have a simple action plan. Present the case for negotiation. If that’s not respected then go to trial. After I signed up with LLN I was introduced to the entire team on a Zoom call. I was told who was responsible for what. I was told where things happen, when things happen, and how they happen. I downloaded the LLN app, and if I needed to reach anyone I simply messaged them and someone got back to me in a timely manner. I always had the option to call if necessary. What I didn’t have to deal with is a guy on a billboard telling me how cool and tough they are. The same guy that calls right away when the slightest pushback happens telling me I need to settle. LLN are trial attorneys who actually go to trial against the opposition. It seems like most other law firms only go to trial when they’re suing their own law partner. How many billboards have I driven past? How many buses with advertisement on the side? How many TV commercials telling me how “they’re gonna fight for my whatever”. It doesn’t happen… and it’s all smoke and mirrors with a majority of the attorneys out there. I believe the attorneys at LLN didn’t do this just for me. LLN operates the way they do because they have pride in their work and self-respect. They have a reputation to uphold, not only with their clients but also with their colleagues and their peers. How do I know this? Because I saw them interact with mediators and judges. I saw how they were treated by the people making the decisions. They have their respect. It’s critical to note that I had realistic expectations for my settlement. For me it was all about finding the sweet spot. The trade-off between a long trial and a verdict, or taking what quite possibly is just as close an offer and settling much earlier while minimizing risk. Once I made a decision I did not look back. The attorneys at LLN are realistic. They stated ‘this is what we have’ , ‘this is what we don’t have’, and ‘this is what we might be able to achieve’ . I made a decision with as much informed consent as possible. I can live with that.

Client Success: $1,000,000 Settlement After Rideshare Driver Ran Over our Client’s Foot

What should I do after an Uber or Lyft accident?

Californians share the road with thousands of Uber and Lyft drivers each day. Car accidents involving rideshare vehicles happen frequently and can cause devastation to everyone involved. If you are involved in a rideshare accident you need to act quickly to protect your rights.

If you are injured in an Uber or Lyft Accident you need to:

Report the accident – If you are involved in an Uber or Lyft accident you need to report the incident to law enforcement and the rideshare company immediately. A delay in reporting the accident may impact your case.
Collect evidence – If you are able, take pictures and videos at the scene of the crash. Gather as many details as possible including the names and contact information for any involved parties or witnesses.
Obtain the rideshare driver’s information such as name and phone number.
Take a screenshot of the rideshare app that shows your trip information.
Seek medical treatment – If you are not taken to the hospital immediately, you still need to seek medical treatment as soon as possible after the accident. Many injuries are not obvious until days or weeks after a collision.
Contact a rideshare accident lawyer in Los Angeles as soon as possible. Having an attorney represent you in your claim can increase your chances of success.

Regardless of the type of rideshare accident you are involved in, you should still follow these steps to help ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

What Not to Do After a Rideshare Accident

There are actions to avoid when you have a rideshare accident injury claim. The first thing to avoid is unnecessary conversation with anyone involved in the accident.

If you are a passenger in the rideshare vehicle, you must report the crash through the app. If you get a request to have a conversation or online chat about the incident, do not do so immediately, and assure them you will be in touch soon to answer their questions. Also keep conversation with the driver to a minimum. Our Los Angeles attorneys will handle all communication with the rideshare company, its insurance company, and the driver.

If you are the driver of another vehicle, you can check on other involved parties but avoid talking about how the accident occurred with anyone. Be factual with the police and do not speculate about the accident’s cause. If an insurance adjuster seeks a recorded statement, politely decline and tell the adjuster you need to consult your attorney first.

Do Not Share the Experience on Social Media

People injured in accidents often share their experience and recovery journey on social media. Investigators for the rideshare company will scour your socials, and if they find any evidence that contradicts or weakens your claim for damages, they will use it.

What Makes Rideshare Accidents Different?

Managing injury claims in a rideshare accident is far more complicated than a typical auto accident claim. Much of the complexity has to do with the provisions of the rideshare companies’ insurance policies.

The rideshare driver’s personal insurance will pay if they were at-fault. However, the driver’s personal coverage may be insufficient to cover your losses. The rideshare company has generous coverage, but it is only available to injured parties under specific conditions.

Rideshare companies aggressively defend accident claims. You must meet numerous conditions before you can access the company’s commercial insurance policy, and the company is likely to dispute that your claim qualifies for reimbursement. Our experienced rideshare accident attorneys in Los Angeles understand these rules and how to navigate them to your advantage.

Who is liable in a rideshare accident?

Determining liability in a rideshare accident can be challenging without the help of a Los Angeles attorney, as these cases are often more complex than a typical crash. A rideshare crash can involve several parties who share fault, such as the driver, the rideshare company, other motorists, or even third parties. It is important to wait to discuss anything with an insurance adjuster, as they may try to downplay your injuries in an attempt to limit their own responsibility. The best way to determine who can be held legally responsible for your accident and injuries is by consulting with an experienced lawyer. Our lawyers could investigate your claim to determine who was at fault and how to obtain compensation.

The driver may be liable if their distracted driving, speeding, or failing to follow traffic laws had a part in causing the crash. Rideshare companies may also find themselves liable for damages in certain situations. Businesses like Uber and Lyft classify drivers as independent contractors rather than employees, but may share some of the responsibility if, for example, they failed to adequately screen a driver with a poor driving record.

To determine fault in a rideshare accident, our experienced Los Angeles attorney will conduct an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash. This can include evidence such as police reports, statements from witnesses, video footage, assessments of vehicle damage, and data from the rideshare app. Lawyers are able to review and decipher complicated insurance policies to identify which apply and how.

What insurance policies apply in an Uber or Lyft accident?

In California, Uber and Lyft drivers are required to carry liability insurance that meets the minimum state requirement. Specifically, they must have at least $50,000 coverage for death or bodily injury to one person, up to $100,000 per incident and $30,000 in property damage.

Uber and Lyft maintain third-party liability insurance for their drivers while they are using the app. Uber and Lyft carry up to $1,000,000 in liability coverage for their drivers when they are either en route to pick up a ride request or have picked up passengers.

Who can I sue if I am involved in a rideshare accident?

Rideshare accidents are different from regular car accidents when it comes to injury claims. If you have sustained injuries from a rideshare accident, suing for compensation can be tough. First, you must prove who was negligent in the accident to be eligible to file a claim. Second, when filing a claim for damages, you must also prove liability and the extent of your injuries.

Rideshare drivers are required to rely on the company’s liability insurance when they are working. However, many drivers will not file claims because they fear losing their job. Despite the driver not putting in a claim with their company, it’s imperative to protect yourself by pursuing a claim with the help of a rideshare crash attorney in Los Angeles.

How do rideshare accidents happen?

In many cases, rideshare accidents are due to things that can be avoided. Here are the most common reasons why rideshare accidents happen:

Distracted driving – From talking on the phone and texting to changing the radio station and eating, these bad driving habits can cause a severe collision.
Speeding – Rideshare drivers who do not pay attention to speed limits can put everyone on the road at risk of sustaining an injury from an accident.
Limited driving experience – You may be surprised to know that some rideshare drivers have a lack of driving experience.
Not being able to handle hazardous road conditions properly – Lack of driving experience along with dangerous road conditions can be a recipe for a serious rideshare accident.
Failing to obey traffic signals and road signs – Ignoring a red light or blowing a stop sign can be a surefire way for everyone on the road to be at risk of an accident that could cause a severe injury.
Distracted driving – Rideshare drivers divert their attention from the road to receive ride requests or scan for passengers awaiting pickup. GPS errors or delayed updates may cause drivers to swerve, stop, or start suddenly.
Fatigued driving – Rideshare driving is a side gig for many drivers who have other jobs. They may be more likely to drive while fatigued, increasing the chances of accidents.

Someone can suffer an injury in an Uber or Lyft accident in the following ways:

As a passenger in a rideshare car
As a driver or passenger riding in another vehicle that has been hit by a rideshare car
As a pedestrian, bicyclist, or motorcyclist that has been hit by a rideshare car

An attorney in Los Angeles is ready to represent anyone injured in a rideshare collision.

What Compensation Can I Receive for an Uber Accident?

Those who have sustained an injury in an Uber or Lyft accident may be entitled to substantial compensation. The amount a person can recover will depend on the severity of the injury and the circumstances of the crash. Damages may be economic or non-economic and could include:

Medical expenses
Rehabilitation
Costs of ongoing therapy or medication
Lost wages if injuries prevent an individual from working
Property damage if a vehicle or personal items were damaged in the crash
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Loss of enjoyment of life
Wrongful death if a loved one was killed in a rideshare accident

An attorney in Los Angeles could review a rideshare accident and account for all losses in a claim for compensation.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?

A person who has been seriously hurt in an accident generally has two years to file a personal injury claim as established in California’s Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1. This statute of limitations requires an injured person to pursue legal action within the timeframe given, or they may not be able to recover damages. Certain situations can shorten or extend the deadline for filing.

For example, California Government Code § 911.2 provides that claims against government entities typically have to be filed within six months. This applies in a situation where a city, county, or state agency may have failed to properly maintain public infrastructure–like a pothole in the road or an obstructed traffic sign–and it caused a person to get injured.

On the other hand, if a person was a minor at the time of the accident, the statute may be extended until they reach the age of 18 according to California Code of Civil Procedure § 352(a). The reason for this is to protect the rights of minors, so the statute of limitations is paused–or tolled–until they are able to take legal action on their own. If a 15-year-old rideshare passenger is hurt in a Lyft accident, the typical statute of limitations would require a claim to be filed before the passenger turns 18. Instead, the two-year limitation does not begin until the 15-year-old reaches 18, then they would have until their 20th birthday to file a claim.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY?
