Allen, TX Lyft Accident Attorneys

Let Our Team Get You The Compensation You Deserve

Booking a rideshare service like Lyft allows many people to travel in ways that are flexible while providing them with safety. While large cities boast taxi services and public transportation options, residents of smaller communities in North Texas, such as Allen, may have more difficulty finding safe ways to get home after a night out. They may also be looking for cost-efficient ways to get to the airport or other destinations without paying high transportation costs and parking fees. With the advent of rideshare services, these and a host of other challenges have become considerably easier to navigate.

However, no mode of transportation is completely safe, and even though rideshare services can provide convenience, passengers may still be at risk of being injured, and other parties may also suffer harm in a collision with a rideshare vehicle. In fact, researchers have determined that in recent years, rideshare accidents have contributed to an uptick in the overall fatal car accident rate nationwide. If you have been injured in a rideshare accident, you may be wondering how to deal with this consequential turn of events. At Burress Injury Law, we can provide the legal help you need in these situations, and we will work to ensure that you will be able to address your injuries and other damages you have suffered.

You May Be Entitled to Compensation

The legal aftermath of rideshare accidents unfolds in many of the same ways that "ordinary" auto accidents do. As with other types of car wrecks, rideshare accident victims need to prove the following in order to pursue compensation through a personal injury lawsuit:

• The defendant(s) named in the case owed the victim a legal duty of care
• The defendant(s) breached that duty by engaging in negligent conduct
• The defendant(s) caused the victim to suffer physical harm or other damages due to breaching their duty of care
• The victim has suffered financial harm – in the form of medical bills, lost wages, funeral or burial expenses, etc. – due to the harms caused by the at fault parties

With the differences in insurance coverage depending upon the phase of the ride sharing service, it can be extremely complex to determine available insurance coverage and when other insurance policies should be engaged. These criteria may be applied differently based on the circumstances of each unique case. However, if you have been injured as a result of a crash involving a Lyft or Uber driver, a qualified personal injury attorney can determine which responsible parties and insurance policies to pursue in order to make you whole. By demonstrating that you have suffered harm because of the actions of others involved in a crash, you can take steps to recover compensation for your losses.
