Why Do You Need a Lawyer for a Rideshare Accident?

The claims process for car accidents may seem straightforward, but there are many factors to consider that can quickly complicate your situation.

Florida follows the rule of comparative fault regarding liability. That means if you are found to be partially at fault for an accident, you may only be entitled to damages less your percentage of fault. Determining this percentage of fault can often require a solid case in your favor.
Your car accident may involve more than one party, which can further complicate matters. This may be especially apparent in a ridesharing accident case.
Insurance companies may be quick to call you and offer a low amount of compensation to quickly settle your accident. This is often much lower than what you could get in a formal accident claim.
Accounting for serious injuries and their lasting effects in your compensation request can often be complicated and is often best left to experts to determine.

At Farah & Farah, we can help you navigate these legal complexities, ensuring that your strategy and sound and your uncertainties are resolved before we proceed with your claim.

What’s the Difference Between a Rideshare Accident and a Car Accident?

Despite involving automobiles, a rideshare accident may include other unique factors that distinguish it from a standard motor vehicle collision.

Uber and Lyft provide liability insurance to their drivers – but the exact amount of coverage varies based on the status of the driver. This may often be difficult to determine exactly and can be up for debate through the claims process.
Being involved in a rideshare accident as a passenger of the ridesharing vehicle can further complicate the claims process.
Rather than corresponding with the driver, accident victims typically communicate directly with Uber/Lyft and their corresponding insurance providers.

These differences may complicate your claim, resulting in a situation that may be more stressful and frustrating. We can provide the assistance necessary to sort through the confusion and help you secure compensation for your injuries.

How Much Does a Rideshare Accident Attorney Charge?

If a ridesharing accident has hit you with significant expenses, you might think that you cannot afford to seek help from an attorney. The lawyers at Farah & Farah believe that everyone has a right to legal representation. That is why we operate on a contingency fee basis. After you meet with one of our attorneys, we will handle all aspects of your case and work hard to achieve the best possible outcome. You will not owe any attorney’s fees while your case is pending. We only take payment for our services if we obtain a settlement or court judgment on your behalf.
