Why choose our law firm?
This is the first question many clients have after their accident. The very first thing to do is report the accident just as you would any other, except you’ll want to report it to both the police and the rideshare company. This ensures that all parties involved are notified and that processing the accident can begin.
Next, it is important to document every detail you can about the accident. Things like who was present, the circumstances surrounding the accident and the events just before and after are all crucial details that will help your case. The longer you wait, the harder it will be for details to be gathered and the less accurate they will be.
Then, seek medical treatment even if you don’t believe you are injured. Some injuries from accidents won’t be readily visible and may take hours or days to manifest symptoms. It is important to get immediate medical attention to treat and document any potential injuries. Having verification of your injuries and the necessary treatment from an ER or a doctor will improve your case and help to get you the compensation you truly deserve.
Lastly, avoid talking with the insurance company and accepting any offers until you’ve spoken with one of the attorneys at The Law Offices of John Phebus Criminal and Personal Injury Lawyer. The insurance company will try to offer you a settlement that is much lower than what your case is actually worth. That’s why before you speak with anyone else, you need to consult one of our world class injury attorneys about what your case is actually worth.
According to a 2018 study, rideshare accidents have increased by 2% to 3% a year.
