You Need An Experienced Attorney After A Rideshare Accident
Understanding the dynamics of rideshare services like Uber and Lyft is crucial in building a strong personal injury case. When these unfortunate incidents occur, navigating the legal process can be daunting without professional guidance. After a rideshare accident, one of your first steps should be to undergo a medical examination, not only for your health but also to establish crucial medical documentation for your personal injury claim. At R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, our experienced personal injury lawyers are dedicated to helping you secure the compensation necessary to move forward from your accident.
Rideshare accidents can happen for various reasons, including:
- Distracted or inexperienced drivers
- Speeding
- Intoxicated drivers
- Poor road conditions
In New Jersey, the law allows for compensation for both economic and noneconomic damages in the aftermath of a rideshare accident. Economic damages cover tangible losses such as medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages and lost earning capacity. Noneconomic damages address the emotional and psychological toll, including pain and suffering, disfigurement, and mental anguish.
Filing a personal injury claim involves proving liability and determining who is responsible for your injuries. While rideshare companies provide coverage for their drivers during active duty, this protection does not extend to off-clock incidents. Additionally, rideshare drivers are required to maintain personal insurance.
