    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does it matter which rideshare app was involved in my accident?

    +

    The core legal issues are similar across platforms, though each company structures its insurance tiers slightly differently. We tailor our investigation to the specific app involved.

    What if I don't know whether the driver was logged into the app?

    +

    We can request that information directly from the rideshare company as part of our investigation.

    I was hit by a rideshare vehicle as a pedestrian or another driver โ€” do I have a claim?

    +

    Yes, if negligence is proven. Depending on the driver's app status, the rideshare company's insurance, the driver's personal policy, or both may apply.

    Legal Framework for Your Case

    Rideshare companies generally provide layered insurance coverage that scales with the driver's app activity โ€” minimal coverage when waiting for a ride request, and up to $1 million once a passenger is matched or being transported. Establishing that status is central to any rideshare claim.

    Protection Against Insurance Tactics

    Insurance companies are not on your side. Their goal is to minimize payouts - our job is to protect you.

    โš ๏ธ Tactics to Avoid

    • โŒ Quick Offers: Premature settlements before knowing the full extent of your injuries
    • โŒ Recorded Statements: Used to find inconsistencies in your claim
    • โŒ Liability Denial: Blaming you or minimizing their insured's negligence
    • โŒ Delay Tactics: Hoping you'll give up due to financial pressure

    ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ How We Protect You

    • โœ“ All Communication: We handle all conversations with insurers
    • โœ“ Thorough Investigation: We gather evidence to prove liability
    • โœ“ Medical Documentation: We ensure complete medical records
    • โœ“ Trial Preparation: Always prepared to go to court

    ๐Ÿ’ก Important Tip: Never accept a settlement offer without consulting an attorney. Early settlements are often a fraction of what your case is actually worth.

    Evidence We Collect For Your Case

    Building a strong case requires detailed evidence. Here's what we investigate for every client:
    Rideshare Trip Data and Receipts
    Police Report
    Photos of the Vehicle and Scene
    Witness Statements
    Medical Records
