Oklahoma City Rideshare Accident Attorneys

Who Is Liable for a Rideshare Accident?

Liability for a rideshare accident can be complex due to the multiple parties and insurance periods involved. Some potentially liable parties include: 

• The rideshare driver may be liable if their negligence caused the crash, such as driving while distracted or running a stop sign. 
• The rideshare company may be responsible if the driver was actively using the app at the time of the accident.
• Other motorists may be liable if their negligence contributed to the crash, such as a driver who fails to yield the right of way. 
• Manufacturers and maintenance crews may be responsible if the accident was caused by a faulty part, equipment failure, or negligent maintenance or repairs. 

I Was in an Uber Accident on I-240. Can I Sue Both the Rideshare Company & the Driver? 

If you were injured in an Uber accident on I-240, you may be able to pursue compensation from both the rideshare company and the driver, depending on the circumstances. Uber’s insurance is typically the primary coverage when the driver is on their way to pick up or drop off a passenger (Period 2 or 3). 

However, if your damages exceed the policy limits or include losses that aren’t covered, the driver’s personal auto insurance may help cover the difference. Our attorneys can review the details of the case and insurance policies to determine the best path forward for maximizing your financial recovery. 

I Suffered a TBI in a Lyft Accident on I-35. What Types of Compensation Can I Recover? 

There are two primary types of recoverable damages in a rideshare accident: 

• Economic damages for direct financial losses, such as medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and future treatment costs. 
• Non-economic damages for indirect losses, such as emotional distress, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and permanent scarring or disfigurement. 

Don’t let greedy insurers take advantage of you after a serious injury. At JJ Law, we can assess every avenue for financial recovery and pursue a comprehensive settlement that covers all your current and future care needs. 

Do I Need a Rideshare Accident Lawyer?

Rideshare accident claims are often significantly more complicated than standard car accident claims. Complex insurance periods, employment classifications, and liability disputes can make it challenging to secure the compensation you deserve. 

This is where a qualified rideshare accident attorney can make all the difference. Some important reasons to seek legal counsel from JJ Law include: 

Investigating the Accident

From interviewing witnesses to obtaining video footage, medical records, and accident reports, we leave no stone unturned in our investigation to pursue the best possible outcome for our clients. 

Proving Liability 

Uber and Lyft classify employees as independent contractors in an effort to evade liability. We can help you present clear and compelling evidence to establish fault and hold the rideshare company accountable. 

Negotiating with Insurance Companies

Rideshare companies often have extensive legal teams working to minimize payouts. We negotiate aggressively with insurance companies to prevent our clients from settling for less than they deserve.

Trial Readiness

While many claims are settled outside of court, litigation may be necessary to achieve a fair result. We prepare every case for trial to pursue a full settlement and prevent insurers from taking advantage of you.
