Like other collisions, Uber and Lyft accidents can cause severe physical harm, but who pays for victim injuries? You can find answers to this and other questions by reaching out to Patrick Flynn, Attorney at Law.
I am attorney Patrick Flynn, and I understand how uncertain you may feel after a rideshare accident. With my extensive experience handling Georgia vehicle accident claims, I can cut through the red tape and offer guidance in maximizing your compensation.
Potential Consequences Of Albany Rideshare Accidents
Rideshare accidents happen like other crashes (negligence, impaired driving, etc.), often leaving some or all involved parties injured, including:
- Rideshare passengers
- The rideshare driver (regardless of fault)
- Pedestrians and cyclists
- Other motorists and passengers
The potential physical, emotional and financial consequences can be devastating for victims. Common injuries and their possible costs are:
- Traumatic brain injury: Medical costs range from $85,000 to over $3 million
- Spinal cord injury: Medical costs can exceed $1 million in the first year alone
- Catastrophic burns: Medical costs can vary from $200,000 to more than $1 million
- Amputations: Medical costs can be between $500,000 to $1 million
Obtaining fair compensation allows you to cover these costs, promoting as full a physical recovery as possible.
Proving Liability And Winning Compensation
Establishing negligence and liability may hinge on the roles of the rideshare company, the driver and other involved parties. In a successful claim or lawsuit, you may be eligible for financial compensation addressing these damages:
- Physical and emotional pain
- Immediate and future medical expenses
- Car repairs or replacement
- Psychological trauma and distress
- Lost income due to injuries
- Loss of affection and companionship
- Wrongful death
Georgia imposes no cap on economic and noneconomic accident damages, meaning your award could be substantial.
