Rideshare Accident Claim

 

If you’ve been in an accident involving a Rideshare company, the process is not much different from a normal accident. The only difference is they are required to carry a significant amount of insurance.

 

In the case of an accident involving a rideshare company, the process is very much the same as a normal accident except you can be assured that they carry enough insurance to cover your losses. It’s important to have an experienced team behind you while negotiating with the insurance company. It is also very important to make sure there is a proper police report and the accident has been reported to the parent company. 

 

Rideshare Accidents 

As convenient as Rideshare companies are, accidents still happen. Take as many precautions as possible like always wearing your seatbelt. You never know how long your driver has been on the road, in the middle of a long shift a driver could become distracted or lose focus. The accident could be no fault of theirs either. In any of these scenarios, an experienced attorney should be consulted.

Taking Action If You’ve Been In A Rideshare Accident
