Houston Ridesharing Accident Attorney
Ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft are becoming ever more popular as they typically offer safe and effective transportation at reasonable prices. However, despite all the requirements and benefits associated with ridesharing, as ridesharing becomes increasingly widespread, more automobile accidents will occur in these vehicles. Ridesharing vehicles are frequently packed with passengers and, as a result, when an accident does occur, the likelihood of an injury significantly increases.
At Mokaram Law Firm, our Houston ridesharing accident attorneys understand how convenient ridesharing has become for many commuting citizens throughout Houston. However, we believe that when an automobile accident does occur, the responsible party, whether it is the ridesharing service or another party, must be held liable for the damages they have caused. Contact our office at (713) 900-2222 to learn more about how we can assist you in your ridesharing accident case today.
What Type of Compensation Can be Recovered in a Ridesharing Accident?
In the state of Texas, ridesharing companies are forced to provide supplemental insurance for their drivers when the company’s app is on. The minimum for this supplemental insurance is one million dollars while passengers are in a vehicle. That means if an accident occurs during a fare, up to one million dollars of damage may be covered by the rideshare’s insurance. Unfortunately, many insurance companies will do whatever possible to pay the least amount of damages to accident victims. However, with proper legal representation, an accident victim may be able to maximize the compensation that they may receive from the accident. Victims of automobile accidents often suffer serious physical injuries that could impede their lives for years after the accident. It is unjust to expect that these innocent passengers in a ridesharing vehicle bear the consequences of these injuries and damages without compensation. Some of the most common types of compensation that are awarded in ridesharing accident cases include:
- Medical Bills
- Legal Fees
- Lost Wages
- Emotional Distress
- Wrongful Death
- Pain and Suffering
It is difficult to put a dollar amount on the suffering that a car accident victim has undergone, but by contacting a qualified attorney, a victim will be able to ensure that he or she receives the highest possible compensation for their case.
