Rideshare Hit-and-Run: How a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help You

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have revolutionized transportation, providing convenient and often safer alternatives to traditional taxis. However, accidents involving rideshare vehicles can be particularly complex, especially when one of the drivers flees the scene. If you find yourself the victim of a rideshare hit-and-run, the aftermath can be overwhelming. Medical bills, lost wages, and dealing with insurance companies can add to the stress. 

Understanding your rights and knowing how to navigate these challenges is crucial. This is where a personal injury lawyer can play a vital role, guiding you through the legal processes and helping you secure the compensation you deserve. If you need assistance holding the responsible party accountable and receiving financial recovery, we can help. Please contact Knowles Law Firm at your convenience to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation.

How Can a Personal Injury Lawyer Help You After a Rideshare Hit-and-Run?

If you have been hurt in a vehicular accident due to no fault of your own, you don’t have to manage the stress alone. You can take legal action against the liable parties, even if they ran and left the scene. 

Communicating With Insurance Companies

When you get into any incident resulting in serious injuries, it will likely be necessary to communicate with one or more insurance providers. If you cannot determine the identity of the individual who hit you because they left the accident scene, speaking to your insurance may yield helpful results. If you are able to identify the party responsible, you can hold them accountable for your losses.

But when speaking with insurance companies, whether those providing to you or someone else, you are unlikely to get fair compensation. However, when you work with an attorney, insurance companies know they cannot get away with bad faith or unjust treatment of victims.

Your attorney will know how to communicate effectively, avoid putting unnecessary responsibility on you, and demonstrate the total monetary value of your claim. We recommend working with a lawyer to ensure total compensation for your losses rather than minimal or partial financial recovery. An attorney from Knowles Law Firm would be an excellent choice, and we look forward to hearing from you and supporting you during this challenging time.

Completing and Filing Paperwork

Completing legal documents can be extremely time-consuming and overwhelming, but working with a lawyer can streamline the process. Much of the paperwork can be completed by your attorney, and these documents can be filed much more quickly when filled out by a professional familiar with the process. We can also help you avoid mistakes that may slow the litigation process or reduce the compensation you can receive.

Connecting You With Medical Professionals

After an accident resulting in injuries, going to the doctor is essential. However, many doctors may feel unsure about assisting patients involved in injury claims and legal action. 

Luckily, we can help victims in need of medical aid. At Knowles Law Firm, we can communicate with medical professionals on your behalf, help you explore your options to see if any of your current doctors can assist, and provide referrals to professionals we already trust. Regardless of your circumstances, we want you to prioritize your healing and well-being.
