How a Muncie Rideshare Accident Lawyer Can Help with Your Case
Darryl “The Hammer” Isaacs and our in-house team of litigators have recovered over $1 billion in compensation for our clients. We can use our 400 years of combined legal experience to build your case and fight for fair compensation.
Ways our rideshare accident lawyer can help with your case include:
Investigating and Collecting Evidence
Investigating the cause of your accident can assist you in building a solid case. We can perform an in-person, on-site investigation to determine the cause of the accident and establish liability. We can collect evidence to strengthen your case, such as:
- The official police report
- Medical records
- Pictures of injuries
- Pictures of the accident scene
- Surveillance footage of the accident
- Eyewitness statements
- A driver’s history
- Accident reconstruction
Our attorneys can use this evidence to build your case and prove liability.
Negotiation
After proving liability, we can negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf. However, insurance coverage can vary, depending on the accident. A rideshare company’s insurance will typically apply when:
- The app is turned on and an accident occurs during a ride or while picking up passengers
- The app is turned on and a driver is waiting for a ride request, if a driver’s personal insurance does not apply
Rideshare coverage does not apply if the accident occurred when the rideshare application was off. In this instance, the rideshare driver’s personal insurance coverage can compensate you for your injuries.
