Let Us Make Sense of Rideshare Accident Insurance in Hendersonville
One of the complications of a rideshare accident is knowing whether to file a claim with the driver’s insurance or Uber’s insurance. If the driver was off the rideshare app, we will pursue the driver’s insurance.
We will file a claim against the rideshare insurance if the driver is signed into the app, on the way to retrieve a passenger, or on the way to drop one off.
Leave Evidence Collection to Our Car Accident Team
Proving the Uber driver’s status on the app is an important part of the evidence we collect for you. Proof of their on- or off-app status can include rideshare records and cellphone data. We also collect evidence that proves the accident’s cause, including:
- Accident report
- Witness statements
- Medical records
- Photographs
- Video footage
- Accident reconstruction
We also collect proof of the accident’s financial toll, including employment records, other proof of income, and vehicle repair or replacement estimates.
We Build a Case File that Proves the Four Elements of Negligence
To seek damages on your behalf, we must prove the legal elements of negligence, including:
- Duty of care: The driver must follow traffic laws and general safety guidelines
- Breach of duty: The driver breached their legal duty
- Causation: Their breach caused the accident and your injuries and losses
- Damages: Your injuries resulted in financial hardships
Your case file will prove these elements, and we will use its details to fight for the best possible financial outcome for you and your family.
Complying With North Carolina’s Statute of Limitations Is Mandatory
Recovering damages for an Uber accident in North Carolina is possible only if you file your lawsuit on time. You generally have:
- Three years to file your personal injury lawsuit, according to G.S. § 1-52
- Two years to file your wrongful death lawsuit, according to G.S. § 1-53
Leave the logistics of filing your lawsuit on time to us. We will handle all the paperwork and court filing within the allotted time and avoid the costly consequences of filing your lawsuit too late.
Recover Economic and Non-Economic Damages by Filing Your Lawsuit on Time
Economic damages after a car accident include any costs that could potentially come out of your own pocket. Non-economic damages are intangible and can be hard to quantify on your own. The average car accident settlement includes both types of damage as follows:
- Economic damages: Current and future treatment expenses, current and future income losses, loss of future earning ability, and property repair, replacement, or diminished value.
- Non-economic damages: Lasting disability, scarring and disfigurement, physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional trauma, and loss of enjoyment of life.
As part of the evidence we collect for your case file, we will include tangible proof of your individual and combined damages.
Wrongful Death Compensation for a Fatal Uber Accident
While making transportation requests simple, the introduction of Uber also increased traffic accident fatalities, according to a recent research brief. If your family lost a loved one in an accident, we will seek wrongful death damages on your behalf, including:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of a loved one’s income
- Loss of financial support
- Loss of their family contributions
You can also recover damages for the loss of consortium, companionship, care, and guidance. We also describe your family’s rights, including who can file a wrongful death action and who can recover damages.
