Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare services are perfect if your car’s in the shop, you need a safe ride home after a concert at the Texas Trust CU Theater, or if you don’t want to drive. Even though there are thousands of rides in DFW every day, rideshare drivers run the same risk of collision as any other driver—in fact, probably more, as many are focused on their GPS, entertaining their passengers, or seeking new fares through their rideshare app. If you’ve been involved in a rideshare accident, either as a passenger or as the other driver, you have the right to demand compensation from the at-fault driver and the company they drive for. Our Grand Prairie, TX rideshare accident lawyer can explain your options in a professional consultation. Call Brandy Austin Law Firm today.
Rideshare Accident Lawyer Grand Prairie, TX
You’ve made a safe choice to take a rideshare instead of driving when your vehicle isn’t safe, you’re intoxicated, or just tired, great! But, your rideshare driver has plenty of distractions to contend with, from terrible DFW traffic, navigating their GPS in unfamiliar neighborhoods, and checking out the app to line up another fare. With all these distractions, there’s a good chance your driver could cause a wreck, and your safe ride is suddenly hazardous.
Or, perhaps, you’re driving yourself and are hit by an Uber or Lyft driver who wasn’t taking proper care on the road. What do you do? Do you treat it like a “regular” car accident and call the police? Do you talk to a representative from the rideshare company? Rideshare accidents have the potential to produce serious injuries, just like any other type of traffic collision. You have the right to compensation from all parties who contributed to the crash:
- The rideshare driver
- Any other driver involved
- Unruly passengers who created a dangerous distraction
- The rideshare company
And any other parties that our Grand Prairie rideshare accident lawyer determines share liability for the wreck. We’re here to help you get every penny you deserve. You may have expensive medical bills, be out of work for weeks with no income coming in, or totaled your only car. Our firm helps you get the settlement you deserve, and we handle every aspect of your case, from investigation to out-of-court settlement negotiations, trial preparation, and dealing with the other side so you don’t have to.
