The One-On-One Legal Support You Need After A Rideshare Auto Accident In Baltimore
Maryland laws mandate all rideshare companies, like Uber and Lyft, to carry substantial insurance coverage of up to $1 million for accidents during active rides. If you are injured as a passenger in Baltimore, you can seek compensation. This process can be complex; you need a lawyer to stand up against insurance companies and big corporations.
I am Elan B. Rafael, an auto accident lawyer dedicated to fighting for the underdog in Baltimore and nearby communities. With my 20-plus years of experience, Rafael Law, LLC, has helped clients recover significant compensation, including $1 million for a head-on collision victim.
What Happens After A Rideshare Accident?
After a Baltimore rideshare accident:
- The company’s insurance should cover your medical expenses and other damages if the rideshare driver is at fault.
- You may need to file a claim with their insurance or your rideshare driver’s policy if another driver caused the accident.
- In hit-and-run cases or instances involving uninsured drivers, rideshare insurance often includes uninsured motorist coverage.
Uber and Lyft have insurance policies that may cover your damages. However, insurance companies often try to reduce payouts. Having me as your lawyer can help ensure you are not shortchanged.
Types Of Compensation You May Recover
If you were injured in a rideshare accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages due to time off work
- Loss of future earning potential
- Pain and suffering caused by the accident
Insurance companies rarely offer full compensation upfront. I am an experienced attorney who will fight for every dollar you are owed.
