Rideshare Accidents
Injured in a Rideshare Accident in Louisiana? Banck Law is Here to Help
Ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft have changed the way we get around, making transportation more accessible and convenient across Louisiana. However, as these services become more popular, the number of rideshare-related accidents is also on the rise, leaving passengers, drivers, and even pedestrians at risk. These accidents come with their own set of legal complexities, from determining liability to navigating overlapping insurance policies.
If you’ve been injured in an accident involving a rideshare vehicle — whether you were a passenger, a driver on the job, or a pedestrian — the process of filing insurance claims can feel overwhelming and confusing. At Banck Law, we understand the unique challenges these cases present. With extensive experience in handling personal injury claims, we are committed to protecting your rights and fighting for the compensation you deserve.
When rideshare accidents happen, insurance companies may try to shift blame or downplay your injuries. That’s where we come in. Whether you were injured during a ride, working as a rideshare driver, or hit by an Uber or Lyft vehicle, we’ll handle the legal complexities so you can focus on recovering.
Untangling the Complexities of Rideshare Accidents
At Banck Law, we conduct a thorough investigation to identify all responsible parties involved in your accident. Potentially liable parties may include:
- The Rideshare Driver: If the driver’s negligence—such as distracted driving, speeding, or driving under the influence—caused the accident, they could be held accountable.
- The Rideshare Company: Liability depends on whether the driver was actively on a trip or waiting for a ride request at the time of the accident, as coverage can vary based on the driver’s status.
- Other Drivers: If another driver on the road was responsible for the collision, we will pursue compensation from their insurance to cover your injuries and damages.
Our team brings extensive experience handling rideshare-related cases and stays current on evolving laws and insurance policies unique to Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare services. When you work with Banck Law, you’ll receive clear, informed guidance every step of the way, so you can focus on healing while we handle the legal complexities.
