Rideshare drivers for Uber and Lyft have car accidents all the time. If you were a passenger in a devastating rideshare car crash, contact a Little Rock Uber accident lawyer as soon as possible.

Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft have become very popular in and around Little Rock. At any given time, millions of rideshare drivers are on roads and highways around the world. With so many Uber and Lyft cars picking up passengers, accidents are bound to involve these rideshare cars.

If you were a passenger involved in a rideshare car accident, you can pursue compensation for your injuries. Several different parties could be responsible for your damages.

Uber and Lyft accidents are complicated and difficult to handle. You don’t want just any law firm to handle the case. These accidents often involve more than one at-fault defendant or responsible party.

Your Little Rock rideshare driver could be the negligent driver who caused the injury. Another driver could have caused the crash. Or the crash could be due to the negligence of several parties, where your driver, as well as another driver, could share in the responsibility for the crash.

Then there is another important issue: What responsibility does the rideshare company have when their driver causes an accident that seriously injures a passenger or someone else? Does the Uber corporation or the Lyft corporation have responsibility above and beyond the negligence of their at-fault driver?

These are valid questions, and the best way to answer them is to contact an experienced Little Rock car accident lawyer.

What can a Little Rock Lyft accident lawyer do?

If you suffered serious injuries while riding in an Uber or Lyft, the best way to gain compensation for your injuries is to speak to a Little Rock rideshare accident lawyer. These cases can be difficult, so don’t make the mistake of believing that you can handle a case like this on your own.

Uber and Lyft are huge billion-dollar corporations. If you make a claim against them seeking compensation for your lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering, they have a small army of adjusters and lawyers to fight against you. These contractors’ sole job will be to fight for the corporation to pay you as little as possible.

You deserve to have a strong legal team on your side fighting for your right to be fully and fairly compensated. Being seriously injured can turn your life upside down and create a lot of fear and anxiety. But you don’t have to go through this alone.

The Little Rock Uber accident lawyers at NST Law are The Champions for the Injured. We have the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to take on huge corporations like Uber and Lyft and their deep-pocketed insurance companies. Our legal team will answer your questions honestly and with compassion.

What compensation can you receive for your rideshare accident injuries?

When you sit down with a Little Rock Lyft accident lawyer from NST Law, we will explain what categories of damages you can potentially seek. The amount of compensation you receive will depend on the facts of your case. Every case is different because every injury is different. What’s more, the same injury can affect one person differently than another.

Below are some types of damages you might be able to receive for your rideshare accident injuries:

Lost Wages

If your injuries have caused you to miss time from work, you can seek reimbursement for those lost wages.

Lost Earning Capacity

Lost earning capacity is for injured plaintiffs whose injuries are serious enough that they do not heal completely.

Sometimes, an accident victim suffers a long-term or permanent disability because of their injuries and is unable to work in their previous profession. When this happens, they can seek compensation for the lost wages they would have received.

This category of damages considers someone’s ability to increase earning capacity over the years through raises and promotions. Your Little Rock rideshare accident lawyer will calculate, in present-day dollars, the total amount of wages you expect to lose over the coming years. We will then seek that amount in damages.

Unpaid Medical Bills

If you have any unpaid medical bills for the treatment you received for the car accident injuries, you should pursue compensation to pay these bills.

Future Medical Treatment

If your injuries are serious enough that you will need future treatment, then your lawyer will estimate the cost of that future treatment and add it to your case. For example, if you will need another surgery to repair scar tissue in a fractured knee in five years, your lawyer can add the cost of that surgery as well as the follow-up care to your case

Pain and Suffering

Pain and suffering damages are difficult to calculate because there is no set formula to use. Every case is different because every individual has a different level of pain and suffering.

This category of damages compensates you for the amount of actual pain and suffering you endured. People with more serious injuries that need extensive treatment tend to experience more pain and suffering. But the best way to truly understand a fair amount is to contact an experienced Little Rock Uber accident lawyer.

Punitive Damages

It is rare for plaintiffs to receive punitive damages. Punitive damages do not compensate the injured plaintiff for losses. Instead, a judge or jury awards these damages to punish the at-fault defendant for their outrageous and reckless behavior.

Punitive damages are not common in normal negligence cases, such as when someone accidentally misses a stop sign and blows through an intersection, causing a crash. Plaintiffs seek these types of damages in cases where the at-fault party’s actions are beyond negligent.

For example, if a driver missed a stop sign and caused a crash because they were driving drunk, punitive damages might be appropriate in that case.

How much does it cost to hire a Little Rock Lyft accident lawyer?

Most people think that hiring a lawyer will be too expensive. But that’s not true for Uber or Lyft accident cases.

Some cases and some lawyers are very expensive and require a lot of money upfront. But the Little Rock rideshare accident lawyers at NST Law work on a contingency fee basis. This means that we do not charge any money upfront, and we only get paid if the case is successful and we recover compensation for your injuries.

Our fee will be a percentage of the total amount of money we recover for you, either through a settlement or at trial. This payment structure gives us more incentive to get you the highest amount of compensation possible.

How much time do I have to file a car accident claim?

Arkansas has time limits to file any type of civil lawsuit. The legal term for this time limit is a statute of limitations. In Arkansas, the statute of limitations for filing personal injury lawsuits is three years from the date of the injury.

So if you have suffered a serious injury in a rideshare crash, you have three years to file a lawsuit to seek compensation for your injuries. If you miss this window of opportunity, you might never be able to seek compensation for your injuries and economic losses.

 

This deadline is why it is very important to speak to an experienced rideshare accident lawyer as soon as possible. Don’t wait to contact someone. The sooner a lawyer gets involved in fighting for your rights, the better for your case.
