How North Carolina’s Statute of Limitations Affects Your Rideshare Accident Lawsuit
The amount of time you have to file your rideshare accident lawsuit is decided by state law. In North Carolina:
- The personal injury statute of limitations is generally three years, per G.S. § 1-52
- The wrongful death statute of limitations is generally two years, per G.S. § 1-53
If your lawsuit is not filed on time, you could be barred from filing it at all or it could be dismissed without its merits ever being heard. Our legal team will help you avoid losing your right to recover damages by filing your lawsuit within the allotted time.
Understanding Insurance Coverage for Rideshare Drivers and Your Legal Options
Compensation for your accident could come from the rideshare driver’s insurance company. It could also come from the rideshare company’s insurer if the driver is signed into the app, able to receive passengers, en route to a passenger, or actively transporting one. Our investigation will identify the driver’s status in the app.
When to Pursue the Rideshare Driver’s Insurance Provider
If the driver is not signed into the app, we will seek compensation from their private insurance provider. If their insurance policy does not cover rideshare service or they otherwise refuse coverage, we can still help you seek compensation.
In addition, if the driver’s insurance denies coverage, we will seek damages from the rideshare company. Uber’s insurance and Lyft’s insurance share similar coverage. We will file your claim with the insurer and fight for maximum compensation.
Collecting Evidence to Support Your Rideshare Accident Case
A solid evidence collection will prove the cause of your crash, generate police narratives and diagrams, and document your post-accident expenses and losses. The additional evidence we collect to support your injury claim can include:
- Police report
- Medical records
- Proof of income
- Expert testimonials
- First responder reports
- Rideshare app records
- Accident reconstruction
- Eyewitness statements
- Accident scene photos
- Available video footage
- Rideshare company records
Leave evidence collection to us. Our investigation will lead to the evidence you need to build the strongest possible case file.
The Role of Negligence in Your Rideshare Accident Claim
An important role of your evidence collection is proving the at-fault driver’s negligence. It will demonstrate their duty of care and their breach of that duty. It will also prove a direct correlation between negligence and accident, and the financial damages you incurred.
