Our Attorney Can Determine How Your Rideshare Driver Caused a Crash

Alabama law allows crash victims to hold the at-fault driver accountable for their medical care and other damages. This generally occurs by filing a claim based on their auto insurance policy. However, you must have strong evidence to show they caused the collision to recover compensation.

To this end, we investigate the cause of a rideshare crash and could discover the driver was:

  • Speeding to complete more rides
  • Driving distracted due to GPS or the rideshare app
  • Fatigued from long hours or multiple jobs
  • Offering unsafe pickups or drop-offs in traffic lanes or intersections
  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Reckless lane changes or sudden turns
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Inexperienced with local roads or traffic patterns
  • Tailgating or aggressive driving
  • Neglecting vehicle maintenance, such as their brakes, tires, or lights

Sometimes, we discover a rideshare driver was not at fault. Another motorist could have caused the crash or other factors could have been involved. You can trust us to get to the bottom of what happened and hold the liable parties accountable.

Rideshare Insurance Could Make These Claims More Complex

Victims of rideshare accidents could be paying riders, occupants of another vehicle, or even pedestrians hit by the Uber or Lyft driver. What the victim is doing at the time of the accident is not as important as what the rideshare driver is doing.

Both Uber and Lyft provide insurance policies to cover injuries caused by their drivers, but these policies only cover certain parts of the rideshare process. This all depends on the driver’s status on the app when the crash occurs.

  • App Off: Only the driver’s personal auto insurance policy is available.
  • App On, No Matched Rider: The rideshare company provides limited liability coverage if the driver’s personal policy does not cover the damages.
  • Matched With a Rider: As soon as the driver matches with a rider and is en route to them, the company’s $1 million liability policy applies.

Based on this, victims may need to file claims against the rideshare company, the driver’s insurance, or both. We will help you identify your options and take the steps to file the claim.

Our Investigation Will Include Evidence to Show Negligence and Liability

Our attorney knows that proving the rideshare driver was 100 percent at fault is critical after a Selma, AL, collision. If more than one person is at fault, these cases can become extremely complex. If you contributed to the crash in any way, you could be barred from recovery.

For this reason, it is imperative to take screenshots of your rideshare app and report the crash right away. Call 911 to get a police report generated and medical attention for any injuries you suffered. If possible, collect what evidence you can from the accident scene, such as pictures and videos of the vehicles and the area. Ask for contact and insurance information from the other driver.

Our team investigates the collision and gathers evidence to support your allegations against the driver and rideshare company. This could include:

  • Rideshare app records
  • Police accident report
  • Dashcam, surveillance, or traffic camera footage
  • Eyewitness statements
  • Photos of the scene
  • Medical records related to the crash
  • Expert testimony, often from an accident reconstructionist

These claims often settle. However, under some circumstances, it may be necessary to file a lawsuit against the driver, rideshare company, or both. If this is necessary in your case, AL Code § 6-2-38 gives most people two years from the crash date to file a lawsuit.
