What Types of Compensation Are Available After a Rideshare Accident?

After a rideshare crash, victims may be entitled to seek financial recovery for both economic losses and the personal impact of their injuries. The exact compensation available depends on the circumstances of the crash, the severity of the injuries, and the available insurance coverage.

Our personal injury lawyer team may be able to help you recover:

Medical Expenses

You may be able to seek compensation for emergency treatment, hospital stays, surgery, rehabilitation, prescriptions, and any ongoing medical care related to your injuries. Future medical costs can also be included if your recovery will require long-term treatment or therapy.

Lost Wages and Reduced Earning Capacity

If your injuries forced you to miss work, you can pursue damages for lost income. In cases involving permanent disability or long-term limitations, compensation may also cover the loss of future earning capacity.

Pain and Suffering

Georgia law allows accident victims to pursue damages for physical pain, emotional distress, and the diminished quality of life caused by the crash. These damages recognize the personal toll that serious injuries can take beyond financial losses.

Wrongful Death Damages

If a loved one was killed in a rideshare accident, surviving family members may be able to pursue compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and the emotional impact of the loss through a wrongful death claim.

Who Is to Blame in a Rideshare Accident Under Georgia Law?

Under Georgia law, fault in a rideshare accident is determined using the state’s modified comparative negligence rule.

This allows an injured person to recover damages only if they are less than 50% responsible for the crash, with compensation reduced in proportion to their share of fault and barred entirely if they are 50% or more at fault.

Liability may rest with the rideshare driver, another negligent motorist, or multiple parties, depending on how the collision occurred. Figuring out who was responsible often requires taking a look at the driver's conduct, any traffic violations, and the rideshare driver’s status in the app.

Types of Rideshare Accident Cases We Can Represent

Rideshare crashes can occur in many different ways, and liability may involve the driver, another motorist, the rideshare company’s insurance coverage, or multiple parties.

Our attorneys represent victims in a wide range of rideshare accident claims throughout Georgia, including:

• Passenger injury cases: If you were riding in a vehicle operated through Uber or Lyft and were injured in a crash, we can help pursue compensation under the applicable rideshare insurance policy.
• Third-party driver claims: If a rideshare driver caused a crash that injured you while you were in another vehicle, we can investigate liability and insurance coverage to pursue compensation.
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents: Rideshare drivers driving in unfamiliar areas or distracted by the app can cause serious injuries to pedestrians or cyclists.
• Multi-vehicle collisions: Some rideshare crashes involve several vehicles and complicated insurance disputes, requiring detailed investigation and legal strategy.
