The Reeves Law Group

If you are a passenger in a ride-sharing vehicle such as an Uber or Lyft vehicle and an accident occurred during the course of your trip where the Uber or Lyft driver was at fault for the accident, you would be covered by the ride-sharing company's liability policy. However, under certain circumstances, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver of the vehicle that caused the accident, but not against the ride-sharing company itself.

Truck accidents can be more complex cases than motor vehicle accidents involving passenger cars because they may involve many parties including the truck driver, the owner of the truck, the truck's manufacturer, and the owner of the transported load. To prove fault and determine which party is liable for your accident involving a truck, it is best to leave it to a professional truck accident lawyer to help you with your recovery.

Though it depends on how complex the case is, a car accident attorney can be expected to help you determine your best course of action, communicating with the other driver's insurance company, acquire all necessary evidence as they pertain to fault from the accident, sort through your medical records and bills, work with your doctors to make sure they're providing the medical documents you would need to prove your injuries, negotiate on your behalf a settlement that is fair and satisfactory.

As soon as you're able to after tending to your injuries, you should look to find a qualified car accident lawyer to determine if you have a potential case as soon as possible. They can help you deal with the insurance companies who will look to immediately resolve the claim with a settlement offer, but that is not necessarily the compensation you might deserve. Another thing to keep in mind is that the statute of limitations in California gives accident victims of a car accident two years of the date of the accident to file a lawsuit.

After an accident and before filing a claim with your insurance company or accepting an insurance company's initial settlement offer, it is advisable to seek the legal advice of a personal injury lawyer. Insurance companies don't always have your best interests in mind and would prefer to pay out less than what you deserve. A personal injury lawyer will make sure you're getting fair compensation to cover your losses.

The goal of a personal injury attorney is to help their clients recover financial compensation for losses incurred from an accident, which typically include medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and more.
