It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
Accidents involving Uber or Lyft cars happen daily across Mississippi. You might have been a passenger in the rideshare vehicle, the rideshare driver, someone in another car hit by the rideshare, or even a pedestrian or cyclist.Â
The main difference between a standard car accident and a rideshare accident involves insurance coverage.Â
Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft carry substantial insurance policies, but accessing them depends on specific circumstances, mainly related to the driver’s status within the app when the crash occurred. A Mississippi rideshare lawyer can help determine which policies apply.
Insurance rules for rideshare vehicles aren’t straightforward. Coverage often depends on what the driver was doing at the exact moment of the collision.Â
There are generally three phases:
It’s challenging to determine which phase applies, and to deal with multiple potential insurance companies, especially if an adjuster tries to deny a claim or shift blame.
A Mississippi rideshare attorney can untangle the mess with the app’s status and file a claim with the proper insurance company.
Even if you’ve already seen a doctor, it’s important to recognize the full scope of potential harm from a rideshare accident. Injuries can range from minor whiplash and bruises to severe conditions like broken bones, spinal cord damage, or traumatic brain injuries.
Beyond physical injuries, you likely face other losses. These can include:
Mississippi law allows accident victims to seek compensation for these damages from the responsible party. An experienced rideshare accident attorney in Mississippi can total all of your losses and fight for fair payment.
Navigating the aftermath of a rideshare accident alone puts you at a disadvantage. Insurance companies have large legal teams working to minimize payouts.
Here’s why connecting with legal help is beneficial.
As mentioned, determining which insurance policy applies is tricky. A Mississippi rideshare accident attorney understands the nuances of insurance laws and policies. They can identify all potential sources of coverage and handle communications with insurers.
Liability isn’t always clear in a crash. Was the rideshare driver negligent? Was another driver responsible? Establishing fault requires investigation, gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, and sometimes accident reconstruction.
Insurance adjusters represent the insurance company’s interests, not yours. They want to settle claims quickly and for the lowest amount possible. A rideshare accident lawyer is your advocate, protecting you from pressure tactics and negotiating assertively on your behalf.
It’s easy to underestimate the total cost of an accident. A rideshare lawyer in Mississippi can calculate your total damages to help cover all current and future medical expenses, lost wages (including potential future lost earning capacity), property damage, and pain and suffering.
Mississippi has a strict time limit for filing a personal injury lawsuit, known as the statute of limitations. You typically have three years from the collision date to file a claim. Missing this deadline means losing your right to seek compensation through the courts.
Gather contact and insurance information from all drivers involved, including the rideshare driver’s personal insurance and the rideshare service they were driving for. Take photos or videos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and visible injuries. Photograph your injuries as they heal, too.
Get names and contact information for any witnesses. Avoid discussing fault at the scene. Then, contact TopDog Law, which can evaluate your case and connect you with a Mississippi rideshare accident attorney.
If another driver was solely responsible for the accident, you would typically file a claim against that driver’s insurance policy first. However, situations can be complex.Â
If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured (doesn’t have enough coverage), you might still be able to access coverage through the rideshare company’s Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) policy, depending on the circumstances and the specific policy details.Â
A Mississippi rideshare attorney can help you explore all available options.
Liability, or legal fault, is determined based on negligence. This means figuring out who failed to act with reasonable care and caused the accident.Â
Evidence used to determine fault includes the police report, witness statements, photos/videos from the scene, traffic laws, vehicle damage analysis, and sometimes data from the rideshare app (like GPS records).Â
Your attorney can investigate to establish who was legally responsible for causing the crash and your injuries.
Don’t let the confusing aftermath of a rideshare accident prevent you from getting the compensation you need to recover. Dealing with insurance companies and proving your claim takes knowledge and experience.Â
