Who Is Liable for My Damages in An El Cerrito Rideshare Accident?

While many rideshare accident victims may expect us to go after Uber or Lyft themselves, they are rarely the legally responsible parties. This is because rideshare companies employ drivers as independent contractors, which means that with few exceptions, they are not responsible for their drivers’ conduct while they are on the clock.  Our attorneys understand the complexities of cases involving multiple different parties and are positioned to build a case against the proper person or entity. We will advise you as to the risks and potential benefits involved in filing a claim against different insurance policies and will help you navigate the process from start to finish.

Will My Case Go to Trial?

Unfortunately, it is virtually impossible to anticipate how your case might proceed until an attorney has had a chance to thoroughly review the evidence. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, our goal is to help you obtain a fair settlement without having to rely on the litigation process. However, if the opposing party is uncooperative and we choose to file a lawsuit, it may still be possible to settle before the trial date. If your case does go to trial, our accomplished trial attorneys will help you navigate the process through every stage of the proceedings, from the initial filing to the verdict.

When Should I See A Doctor to Treat My Injuries?

Even if your injuries seem minor, it is generally advisable to seek a medical evaluation as soon as possible after the accident. As the claimant, you are responsible for taking reasonable steps to mitigate your injuries, so failing to seek adequate care could hurt your case (not to mention, prevent you from fully recovering). If you wait too long to seek treatment and your condition worsens, this can increase your total medical bills and thus, the damages you may claim. An insurance company may review your file and determine that you were negligent in failing to seek treatment and will not offer a favorable settlement.
