Answering 6 Common Questions Related to Rideshare Accidents
Share on FacebookShare on X

Rideshare accidents have become increasingly prevalent in recent years as the popularity of ride-hailing services continues to grow. Understanding your legal rights and responsibilities in the event of a rideshare accident is crucial. Attorneys specializing in rideshare accidents can provide invaluable guidance throughout the legal process.

This article addresses some of the most common questions people have about rideshare accidents, helping you navigate the complexities of these cases.

Who is Liable in a Rideshare Accident?

Determining liability in a rideshare accident often involves the concept of vicarious liability. This legal doctrine holds a company responsible for its employees’ actions while acting within the scope of their employment. In the case of rideshare accidents, the rideshare company is generally considered vicariously liable for the negligence of its drivers.

However, the rideshare driver’s liability can also be a factor. If the driver acted outside their employment scope, such as engaging in personal errands, the company might not be liable. Additionally, if the driver was intoxicated or under the influence of drugs, their negligence could contribute to the accident.

It’s important to note that contributory negligence can also affect liability. If the passenger’s actions contributed to the accident, their compensation may be reduced. For instance, if a passenger was not wearing a seatbelt or was distracted by their phone, it could be argued that they were partially responsible for their injuries.

What Types of Compensation Can I Seek?

If you’ve been injured in a rideshare accident, you may be entitled to seek various types of compensation. These can include:

  • Medical expenses: This covers the cost of your medical treatment, including doctor’s visits, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and physical therapy.
  • Lost wages: If your injuries prevent you from working, you may be able to recover lost wages. This includes both your current earnings and future earning potential.
  • Pain and suffering: This compensates you for the physical and emotional pain and suffering you’ve endured due to the accident.
  • Property damage: If your vehicle or other property was damaged in the accident, you can seek compensation to repair or replace it.

The compensation you can receive will depend on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the extent

of your losses, and the circumstances of the accident. According to a recent study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the average cost of a rideshare accident in the United States was $15,000 in 2023. However, this figure can vary significantly depending on individual cases.

How Do I Prove Fault in a Rideshare Accident?

In a rideshare accident case, the burden of proof typically lies with the injured party. This means you must provide evidence to demonstrate that the rideshare driver’s negligence caused the accident.

Several types of evidence can be used to prove fault, including:

  • Police reports: These documents can provide valuable information about the accident, such as the circumstances, the parties involved, and any citations issued.
  • Witness testimonies: Statements from witnesses who saw the accident can corroborate your version of events.
  • Vehicle damage: The physical evidence of the accident, such as damage to the vehicles involved, can help determine fault.
  • Surveillance footage: If there were any cameras in the area, the footage may capture the accident and provide additional evidence.

What is the Statute of Limitations for a Rideshare Accident Claim?

The statute of limitations is a legal deadline by which you must file your lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation. The specific statute of limitations for rideshare accident claims varies by jurisdiction, but it is typically between one and three years. It’s crucial to consult with an attorney to determine the applicable statute of limitations in your state.

Do I Need a Lawyer for a Rideshare Accident Case?

Hiring a lawyer to handle your rideshare accident claim can be highly beneficial. Lawyers who specialize in these cases have the knowledge and experience to navigate the complexities of the legal process. They can gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary. Many personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay a fee if they win your case.

What if I Was Partially at Fault for the Accident?

In many jurisdictions, the doctrine of comparative negligence applies to rideshare accident cases. This means that if you are partially responsible for the accident, your compensation may be reduced by the percentage of your fault. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault, your compensation will be reduced by 20%. It’s important to consult with an attorney to understand how comparative negligence may affect your case.
