Rideshare And Pedestrian Accidents Demand Attentive Service From Experienced Attorneys

The factor that rules every single injury case is fault. From the amount of fault an individual may share in an accident to the evidence on either side alleging fault in a courtroom, every facet of your injury litigation reflects fault. But are there any more faultless individuals than those victims of pedestrian and rideshare accidents?

At The Law Offices of Liu & Naime, we are dedicated personal injury attorneys who understand what your struggles are after highly painful, highly stressful experiences. We put our efforts into compassionate, caring service that will help you get the compensation you need to recover. Our clients are our top priority, and we put their needs first throughout their case.

What You Need To Know About Rideshare Accidents

Rideshares are a modern convenience that entirely replaces the need for traditional taxi services, and their popularity is undeniable. California law requires rideshare companies to cover their vehicles under comprehensive insurance, but your potential compensation for an injury depends on the “period” of your accident:

Period one:

In period one, a rideshare driver has the app activated and is actively searching for a rider. During period one, the insurance coverage is not nearly as high as in the other periods. Your ability to recover compensation from the rideshare company is limited here, and you may have to pursue the rideshare driver’s normal coverage.

Period two

In period two, the driver has accepted a passenger and is on the way to pick up that passenger. During this period, you may receive the maximum coverage from the state-required insurance policy. However, if an accident occurs in this period – however small it is – there’s a chance that the insurer’s policy will fight it if the passenger cancels the ride that never shows up.

Period three

Accidents occurring in period three – the time after the rideshare vehicle has picked up the passenger until they drop them off – is the surest and covered by the maximum compensation policies. There is no gray area in which they can argue that the vehicle was in a different period.

However, no matter which period of the accident you find yourself in, you cannot hope to fully recover without the help of a skilled, experienced rideshare accident attorney. With 40 years of combined experience, we have the understanding of California law and legal processes to help compile the evidence and pursue your claim with determination.

What You Need To Know About Pedestrian Accidents

A broad definition of pedestrian is any person on the road or sidewalk moving under their own power. A generous read of that definition would include people on bicycles, skateboards or roller blades, but there are specific laws that govern those other types of accidents.

If you’re on your feet on the road, you are in unique physical jeopardy. You do not have the protective measures of a car or any other vehicle on the road. And that means you can sustain major injuries if you’re struck because:

• Someone speeding or driving recklessly
• Ignoring a stop light or sign
• Failure to yield
• Distracted driving
• Driving under the influence

Our attorneys will be there for you from the moment you call us until the end of your case. Pedestrians in accidents have devastating levels of pain and injury to overcome. We care about this and act as your guides and advocates through the complex laws and throughout your battle to get the coverage and compensation you need.
