Rideshare Accident Lawyer Gastonia, NC
The injuries you sustain in a rideshare accident can be just as serious as injuries sustained in a crash with two private drivers. Your injuries could keep you from working for weeks and may leave you permanently disabled or in chronic pain. Your medical bills may be piling up, and if your injuries have affected your ability to work, however temporarily, you’re likely in a financial bind. You have the right to demand compensation from the at-fault party in the wreck, and our Gastonia rideshare accident lawyer can help you get it.
Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare companies partner with private drivers on a contract basis, so while the driver is a contract representative of the company, they aren’t a direct employee. However, drivers are still covered by the company’s liability policy if they are logged into the app and actively transporting a fare. You may be eligible to collect up to $1 million in liability coverage if you did not have a hand in causing the wreck.
North Carolina car accident liability laws are among the strictest in the nation. If you contributed even 1% of blame to the wreck, you’re effectively barred from recovery. Our attorneys protect the integrity of your claim and build a strong case proving that the rideshare driver is completely responsible for the wreck. We handle all the legal negotiations and case building, giving you the best chance of securing full and fair compensation.
