Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers represents those who have been injured in a rideshare accident involving rideshare services such as Wingz, helping them recover financial compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain, suffering, property damage, wrongful death and more.
We represent those injured in rideshare accidents on a contingency fee basis, which means that our Wingz accident attorneys won’t charge you any fee until and unless we recover financial compensation on your behalf. The only fee we will charge you is a percentage of any compensation we recover from an insurance company or another party, and we won’t charge you any upfront fee or out of pocket fee.
If you’ve been injured and can’t afford to have your injuries treated, a rideshare accident lawyer at our firm can get you to doctors who will treat you on a lien, which means that you won’t be charged until your personal injury case is over. Doctors do this for our clients who are injured by rideshare drivers because they know we get great results for our clients.
If you’ve been hurt in an accident involving a rideshare driver, rest assured that we have the experiences and resources to recover the most compensation possible on your behalf. We have been helping car accident victims recover compensation since 1990, having recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for clients. While these cases can be complex because Wingz drivers, unlike taxi drivers, are considered independent contractors, we have been handling ridesharing accident cases for many years now and are intimately familiar with the laws surrounding these cases and how to recover the maximum compensation possible in these cases.

Compensation A Wingz Accident Attorney Can Help You Recover
California law allows for those injured by negligence to recover compensation for their injuries from the at-fault party. We help those injured in accidents involving rideshare companies like Wingz recover financial compensation for their damages. Damages come in many forms, including:
Medical Bills
When we handle cases involving car accidents, the bulk of the compensation recovered is usually compensation for medical bills. You may already be facing medical bills because of the injuries you sustained in a Wingz crash. In addition, Wingz accidents can leave their victims requiring future medical treatments. We can file an insurance claim or lawsuit on your behalf seeking compensation for all past and future medical expenses related to your injuries.
Lost Wages
If you were injured when your vehicle was struck by a Wingz vehicle, or if you were injured as a rideshare passenger, you may have missed time from work because you were hurt too badly in your auto accident to work. In addition, your Wingz crash may have left you with injuries which you’ll need to take time off from work to have treated. We can help you recover compensation for any wages you’re unable to earn due to your accident involving the transportation service Wingz.
Property Damage
When you got in an accident involving Wingz, your vehicle may have been damaged or totaled, and personal property inside the vehicle at the time may have also been damaged or destroyed. Our law firm can help you recover compensation for any property damage sustained in your Wingz wreck.
Pain and Suffering
If you have been injured in a crash involving Wingz, you have probably gone through physical pain and mental suffering. Our lawyers have spent decades placing accurate values on our clients’ pain and suffering, ensuring our clients are fairly compensated for their physical pain and mental suffering.
Wrongful Death
If a Wingz accident ended up causing you to lose a loved one, it is unfortunate that financial compensation won’t be able to bring your loved one back. However, by helping you recover financial compensation, we can help make sure your family doesn’t have to go through financial hardship due to the loss of your loved one. We can assist you by helping you recover compensation for:
- Any grieving or suffering you’ve gone through
- Losing your loved one’s income, companionship, love, consortium, household services and spousal benefits
- Your loved one’s medical expenses, funeral expenses, burial expenses, physical pain and mental suffering
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages won’t be available in every Wingz case. However, if your case involves reckless or intentional conduct like drunk driving, we’ll seek punitive damages on your behalf in order to punish the wrongdoer, deter others from behaving similarly in the future, and maximize your financial recovery.
Explaining Wingz’ Insurance Policy
Wingz might say its riders are totally safe since doing so is in their best business interests. That being said, Wingz’ vehicles aren’t completely immune to crashes caused by incompetent drivers, regardless if those drivers are driving Wingz vehicles or other vehicles. So, you may be wondering: when Wingz passengers are hurt in accidents, who pays for damages?
Wingz’ terms of use state that its drivers are provided with insurance coverage up to $1 million per occurrence. What this means is that if the driver who is at fault doesn’t have enough insurance to pay for a victim’s damages, the Wingz policy will supplement any available insurance when accidents occur while drivers are in the course of their duties.
This means that if you’re in a Wingz accident, you’re eligible for up to $1 million in insurance coverage when:
- The driver at fault is underinsured or uninsured
- You got hurt in a Wingz crash and you were a passenger
- You got hurt in a Wingz crash as the driver while transporting your ride
In order to determine if you have a valid case for financial compensation following a Wingz crash, call us today for a free consultation.
Dangers Posed by Wingz Drivers
Every rideshare service presents numerous dangers. Regardless of any claims by Wingz that they provide safety and health training, it’s common for rideshare drivers to drive without the right safety knowledge. In addition, ridesharing systems encourage drivers to end up paying more attention to their app than to driving. Rideshare drivers use apps to search for rides and as GPS systems. This causes them to have their eyes on their phone instead of having their eyes on the road.
Other elements of ridesharing services endanger passengers as well as other drivers, including:
- Drivers often drive after working other jobs and are thus fatigued while driving. They can also work long shifts to get by during times of slow business.
- Drivers often cover geographical areas they’re not familiar with, leading to a lack of focus.
- Drivers often end up driving without a lot of specific training regarding how to do rideshare driving. This is typically something which would need a lot of training.
- Rideshare companies don’t provide maintenance. Rideshare drivers are responsible for upkeep, and they might cut corners regarding maintenance.
We Are Intimately Familiar With the Rideshare Industry
Transportation has become more convenient and cheaper than ever before due to the rideshare boom. Most people know about the most popular rideshare companies like Lyft and Uber. However, additional services like Wingz exist which fill specialized roles.
Wingz was created to give people a low-cost, convenient way to get rides from airports to final destinations after reaching cities. Users are even capable of requesting specific drivers if they are frequent fliers into specific cities using the Wingz app.
However, like Lyft and Uber, Wingz isn’t risk-free – those who use companies like these might be injured if they get involved in a car accident. Drivers might be selected carefully and take all necessary precautions, yet accidents will still occur, and when an accident happens, you need experienced lawyers by your side.
We can assist you with any kind of injuries suffered in a Wingz accident, including:
- Broken bones
- Neck and head injuries
- Lost mobility
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis

Do I Need a Wingz Accident Law Firm?
If you have been injured in a Wingz accident, your ultimate source of financial recovery is almost certainly going to be an insurance company. This could be the Wingz policy and/or the at-fault party’s policy.
Insurance companies don’t make huge profits by simply paying all injury victims exactly what they ask for. No, insurance companies make huge profits by paying injury victims as little money as they can get away with paying. The insurance companies don’t want to pay you what you ask for, and if you can’t sue them and win over a low ball offer, they’re not going to pay you what you ask for. They know you can’t sue them and win if you aren’t represented by a lawyer, so if you don’t have an attorney, they’re just going to offer you a small fraction of what you’re actually entitled to for your injuries.
If you want to recover the most compensation possible for your injuries, you need a lawyer by your side. You need a lawyer to send the insurance company a letter of representation. This letter sends a message to the insurance company that if they don’t offer you a fair offer, you’ll sue them and win. Almost every single one of our rideshare cases settles out of court because insurance companies know about our reputation for success in court. They know that it’s not wise to spend legal fees on lawyers to take us on in court where they’ll just lose.
Studies show that injury victims who hire lawyers recover way more compensation than those who don’t, even after taking attorney fees into account, and it’s because hiring a lawyer tells the insurance company you can sue them and win over a low ball offer.
In addition, perhaps the worst thing you can do after being injured in an accident is talk to an insurance company. The insurance company is going to want you to give them a recorded statement – don’t do it! Let a lawyer handle all communications with insurance companies for you.
The reason why is insurance adjusters are trained by their employees to trick injury victims like you into saying the wrong thing while being recorded. They’re very good at manipulating injury victims like you into saying the wrong thing, and if you say the wrong thing it can cost you tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Call us today for a free consultation so we can handle all negotiations and conversations with insurance companies for you, forcing the insurance companies to pay you what you’re entitled to for your injuries.
Is There a Time Limit to File a Wingz Accident Injury Claim?
In California, injury victims usually have two years from the date of their injury to file a claim seeking financial compensation, and this time limit is known as a statute of limitations. If you fail to meet this deadline you can be forever barred from recovering compensation for your injuries.
Exceptions exist to this two year time limit, some of which extend the time limit and some of which shorten it. A particularly important exception to keep in mind is when government entities are defendants, such as when accidents are caused by dangerous roadway conditions. When government entities are liable for injuries, injury victims only have six months to file claims in California.
The best way to find out if you are still eligible to file a Wingz accident injury claim is to call our law firm today for a free case evaluation. We can tell you if you still have time to file a claim, explain to you the legal process, tell you what your case may be worth, and answer any questions you have.
Remember, there is no risk behind calling us since we won’t charge you any fee until and unless we recover compensation for you. Call us today for a free consultation if you or a loved one was injured or killed in a Wingz crash.
