Let Our Lyft Accident Attorneys Handle the Complex Details of Your Injury Claim
A rideshare accident claim in Hendersonville will have a plethora of moving parts to manage. Focus on getting better. When you trust our Henderson car accident lawyers with your case, our Henderson injury lawyers handle all the details at every phase of your case. While you recuperate, we will:
- Assess your potential damages
- Identify the insurance company
- Prove the Lyft driver was negligent
- Canvass the accident scene
- Respond to your case-related questions
- Provide regular case updates
- Negotiate with the insurer for a fair settlement
- Represent you in court if necessary
Our Henderson personal injury lawyers also handle all communication related to your claim, including phone calls, emails, text messages, and written correspondence. We also take care of any requests for information and evidence the insurer might demand.
We Will Identify Which Insurance Company to Pursue
The rideshare company might not automatically cover the costs of your accident. In most cases, Lyft’s insurance coverage applies when the driver is:
- On the app and able to receive ride requests (but only if the driver’s personal insurer does not cover the accident)
- On the app and on the way to a passenger
- On the app and actively transporting a passenger
If the driver was not on the app, we will pursue the driver’s private insurance company for compensation.
Our Fee Structure Means You Never Pay a Dime Up Front
We represent rideshare clients on a contingency-fee basis—a fee structure that means our compensation is a percentage of your financial award. It benefits you because we cover all the costs of preparing and filing your lawsuit without requiring:
- A hefty retainer
- Hourly attorney’s fees
- Any upfront costs
In addition, you will only compensate our law firm after we recover damages for you. If you do not receive compensation, you will not owe us any fees at all.
Our Investigation Will Prove the Negligence That Caused Your Lyft Accident
To pursue the at-fault driver, their insurer, or Lyft’s insurer, you must prove their negligence caused your accident. We do this for you by proving the following four elements of negligence:
- The at-fault driver owed you a duty of care.
- Their actions breached their legal duty.
- The breach directly caused the accident.
- You incurred financial expenses and losses.
At Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC, we know how important it is to establish these elements, so our Hendersonville Lyft accident attorneys will build a strong case file that supports your compensation request. Contact our consultation team for more information.
We Will Build the Strongest Possible Case File on Your Behalf
Evidence is a key part of an effective rideshare accident claim. To ensure your case file is complete and accurate, we build an evidence collection that includes:
- Proof of the accident’s cause: Medical records, police report, photos, video footage, witness statements, accident reconstruction, and first responder reports.
- Proof of the accident’s costs: Medical bills, future prognosis, employment records, prescription receipts, property repair receipts, and property replacement estimates
We also collect evidence you might find hard to obtain on your own, including proof of the Lyft driver’s app status and vehicle inspection records.
How We Assess Your Medical Bills and Additional Economic Damages
Our legal team will collect bills from every medical professional and facility where you were treated to define the costs of your medical care. We can also obtain a written prognosis to define future care and include it in your compensation request. Additional economic damages include:
- Current loss of income
- Future lost earnings
- Lost earning potential
We also collect estimates for the costs of repairing your personal property, replacing property deemed a total loss, and the diminished value of repaired property.
How We Assess Pain and Suffering and Additional Non-Economic Damages
Damages for pain and suffering compensate you for the physical rigors of your injuries and the recovery process. In addition, recoverable non-economic damages include:
- Disability and disfigurement
- Mental and emotional trauma
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Wrongful death damages are also available for families who lost a loved one in a Lyft accident in Hendersonville. A Lyft accident lawyer from our firm can seek justice and compensation for you and your family.
The Importance of Abiding By North Carolina’s Car Accident Statute of Limitations
North Carolina law gives you a small window of opportunity to file a lawsuit after an accident. You generally have three years to file your personal injury lawsuit (G.S. § 1-52) and two years to file your wrongful death lawsuit (G.S. § 1-53).
Meeting the filing deadline on your own can be difficult since it can fluctuate based on various circumstances of your accident. The best way to avoid a costly miscalculation is to let us handle it for you. An attorney from our firm will file your lawsuit on time and in the appropriate court.
