If your driver crashes, is it possible to sue Rideshare?
Yes, you have the right to file a lawsuit against a ridesharing service like Uber or Lyft if your driver causes an accident and you sustain injuries or property damage. However, because there are other parties and insurance policies involved, the procedure may be more complicated than a normal auto accident claim. When a driver is using the app to transport a rider, many rideshare businesses have liability insurance that covers passengers. You might be able to make a claim against the ridesharing company's insurance if the driver was at fault and was employed by the firm at the time of the collision. However, as drivers are regarded as independent contractors rather than employees, it may be difficult to sue the ridesharing operator directly. In many situations, this restricts the company's direct liability. You might have a case, though, if it can be demonstrated that the business was careless—for instance, by neglecting to adequately screen drivers. In any case, speaking with a knowledgeable rideshare accident lawyer is essential.
Can an insurance settlement be negotiated?
Yes, you can and should negotiate an insurance settlement, particularly if you believe the original offer does not adequately pay you for your losses, damages, or injuries. In an effort to reduce their payouts, insurance firms frequently begin with modest settlement offers. To establish a greater claim value, you may, however, provide supporting paperwork, like medical records, repair estimates, lost wage records, and evidence of pain and suffering. It can be difficult to negotiate with an insurance company, especially if you don't understand personal injury law or the strategies used by insurers. They can try to coerce you into agreeing to a speedy settlement or try to undermine the validity of your claim by using your words against you. Working with an experienced lawyer can therefore have a big impact. A knowledgeable personal injury attorney can manage all correspondence with the insurance provider, construct a compelling argument supported by data, and engage in aggressive negotiations on your behalf. At Monheit Law, we know how to fight for the most money because we have a lot of experience dealing with insurance companies in rideshare accident situations.
