If you or someone you love was injured in a recent auto accident involving a rideshare vehicle, you could be entitled to file a personal injury claim or lawsuit. Our Rock Hill car accident lawyer can help. We will examine the details of your case and determine whether to pursue compensation from the driver’s private insurance policy or the one of the rideshare company.
At Schiller & Hamilton, we will represent you if you were a driver or passenger in the rideshare vehicle, the driver of another involved vehicle, or a pedestrian or cyclist. Leave it to us. Our team will review your case at no cost and take on the insurance company—big or small—on your behalf. If you were a victim of the accident in any capacity, we will demand appropriate compensation for you.
Compensation We Demand for Injury Victims of a Rock Hill Rideshare Accident
If you retain our legal representation, we can demand fair compensation for a variety of economic (tangible) and non-economic (intangible) expenses and losses. We will collect the documents and evidence that substantiate your request for the following:
- Medical bills for past and ongoing care
- Pain and suffering
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Lost income
- Future loss of earning capacity
- Property damage costs
If a rideshare accident caused a loved one’s death, we can seek compensation for funeral expenses, lost financial support, and final medical expenses. Our team will take time to explain who can file a wrongful death action in South Carolina and which family members can benefit from a resulting financial award.
Act Quickly to Comply With South Carolina’s Statute of Limitations
The time you have to file a lawsuit after a negligence-based car accident is limited by S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530. In general, you have three years to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
The statute of limitations can fluctuate based on the circumstances of your accident, making compliance challenging. A miscalculation can be costly and prevent you from meeting the required filing deadline. Our rideshare accident attorney can interpret and adhere to the filing deadline.
We work on a contingency fee basis, which also supports the timely filing of your case. Our personal injury attorneys will get started right away and don’t charge any upfront or out-of-pocket costs. We only receive lawyer’s fees if we obtain a settlement or court award for you.
How We Determine Financial Liability After a Rideshare Accident in Rock Hill
Our rideshare accident lawyer serving Rock Hill brings familiarity with South Carolina law to your case and an understanding of how rideshare insurance works.
To determine which insurance company to pursue for damages, we must investigate the rideshare driver’s status. For example, if they were off the app when the accident occurred, their private auto insurance should cover the accident’s costs.
The rideshare insurance applies if the driver was signed into the app and their private insurer declines coverage. The rideshare insurance coverage also kicks in if the driver was signed into the app, en route to a passenger, or had a passenger in their vehicle.
Evidence We Collect to Steer Your Case Toward a Settlement
The evidence collection we build for you will include your police report. It will contain the official police report and any attachments, including the investigating officer’s notes and diagrams and police-generated photos and video.
We can also collect:
- Lay and expert witness accounts
- Accident reconstruction reports
- Employment and salary history records
- Dashcam and smartphone footage
You do not have to track down the evidence your case needs. Let us handle this task for you. We will compile and sort everything and submit it to the appropriate insurance company on your behalf.
