Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about rideshare accident cases in Palm Bay
What types of damages can I receive compensation for in a rideshare accident case?
In a Palm Bay rideshare accident case, you may be eligible for several types of compensation, including:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Property damage
- Rehabilitation costs
The exact compensation depends on factors like injury severity, impact on your life, and insurance coverage available during the specific phase of the rideshare trip.
How is liability determined in a rideshare accident?
Liability in rideshare accidents depends on the driver's status at the time of the accident. When the app is on and waiting for requests, the rideshare company provides limited liability coverage. Once a ride is accepted, coverage increases to $1 million. Our team investigates the accident circumstances, including the driver's status, to determine which insurance policies apply.
We examine evidence like app logs, dash cam footage, witness statements, and police reports to establish liability. Multiple parties may share responsibility, including the rideshare driver, other drivers, the rideshare company, or even vehicle manufacturers if defects contributed to the accident.
What should I do after a rideshare accident?
After a rideshare accident in Palm Bay, take these important steps:
- Ensure your safety and call 911 immediately
- Screenshot your rideshare app showing trip details
- Take photos of vehicle damage and the accident scene
- Collect contact information from witnesses
