Hurt in an Uber, Lyft or Waymo?

Rideshare crashes can involve multiple insurance policies and unexpected complications, but our Georgia attorneys handle those details so you can focus on healing and moving forward.

Using Rideshare

Every crash is different, but the aftermath often feels the same: confusing, stressful, and full of uncertainty. Medical treatment, car repairs, insurance calls, and time away from work can quickly become overwhelming. At Meeks Impact Law, our attorneys step in to handle every detail so you can focus on your recovery.

Every crash is different, but the aftermath often feels the same: confusing, stressful, and full of uncertainty. Medical treatment, car repairs, insurance calls, and time away from work can quickly become overwhelming. At Meeks Impact Law, our attorneys step in to handle every detail so you can focus on your recovery.

The most important step is to get medical attention, even if you feel okay. Some serious injuries take time to show symptoms.

 

If it’s safe to do so, gather photos or video of the vehicles, the roadway, and any visible injuries. Preserve any dashcam footage and collect witness information. Make sure the police are called and a report is filed. Even if you were a passenger, speak with the officers and confirm you are listed on the report so your rights are protected.

Your next step is to contact an attorney before speaking with the insurance company, so you can be sure your rights are fully protected. If you've already discussed the incident with your insurance company, you should still consult with an attorney (completely free) and see what your options are.

In most cases, Georgia law gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Certain situations, such as crashes involving government vehicles, may have shorter deadlines. Reaching out early allows our team to investigate quickly and preserve important evidence for your case.

Georgia follows a comparative negligence rule, which means each party’s level of fault is evaluated. If you are found less than 50 percent responsible, you can still recover damages, but your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. Passengers, however, are rarely considered at fault in rideshare crashes since they have no control over the vehicles involved. Our team reviews police reports, witness statements, app data, and crash details to understand what happened and identify who should be held accountable, which may be multiple parties.

Depending on your injuries and losses, you may recover compensation for medical bills, future care, lost wages, pain and suffering, vehicle damage, and emotional distress. If the crash caused severe or permanent injuries, we also pursue damages for long-term disability and reduced quality of life. In rideshare cases, multiple insurance policies may apply depending on the driver’s status in the app, which can create additional avenues for recovery and increase the total compensation available.

Georgia requires drivers to carry minimum liability coverage, but those limits often fall short when injuries are serious. If the at-fault driver has little or no insurance, your own Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) policy coverage may help pay for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. Many people don’t realize they have this coverage. Our team reviews your policy and helps you access every available resource for recovery.

 

Even if you haven't been hurt in an accident, reach out to our team and we'll be happy to help you assess your coverage to make sure you are as protected as possible.
