Lost Income, Earning Power, Benefits, and Productivity
A Modesto rideshare accident lawyer from Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers will determine how your accident has harmed you professionally. You may lose your regular income, miss chances to earn promotions and bonuses, be less productive, and lose status with your employer. Certain injuries require victims to change jobs. This can cause you to earn less and may entitle you to compensation.
Calculating such losses is not easy. We will handle this duty for you and also complete the other steps in your rideshare accident case.
We Can Complete a Modesto Rideshare Accident Insurance Claim for You
Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft provide insurance coverage that may apply to your accident. Uber’s insurance policies, which are similar to Lyft’s, provide $1 million in third-party liability coverage. However, this coverage only applies when the rideshare driver is on their way to pick up a passenger or is dropping off a passenger.
When the driver is waiting for ride requests, they have insurance coverage of:
- $50,000 in bodily injury coverage (per person)
- $100,000 in bodily injury coverage (per accident)
- $25,000 in property damage coverage
If these coverages don’t apply to your accident, then a driver’s personal auto insurance may apply.
If You Need to File a Lawsuit, We Can Handle It
A lawsuit may be necessary in your case. If we need to negotiate a pretrial settlement or even go to trial, then we will. Our firm can handle every step of the civil legal process, including:
- Collection of evidence
- Witness interviews
- Documentation of your losses
- Settlement negotiations
