Rideshare Accident Legal Services for Injured Victims

We guide clients through each phase of their case, from initial investigation all the way to resolution. Our boots-on-the-ground approach means you have a team addressing every detail and protecting your interests from start to finish. Here’s what you can expect throughout the process:

  • Thorough accident analysis. We review police reports, rideshare data, and insurance information, making sure every detail is captured and examined.
  • Immediate investigation. We investigate the accident, gather crucial evidence, and coordinate with the Kinston Police Department, North Carolina State Highway Patrol, and other relevant authorities.
  • Insurance claims & negotiations. You may face overlapping coverage from Lyft, Uber, and personal insurers. We interpret complex policies, identify liable parties, and fight for full compensation for lost wages, medical bills, and damages.
  • Litigation & legal strategy. If negotiations fail, we’re prepared to advocate for you in court using our litigation experience to pursue a fair result.
  • Local guidance. With thorough knowledge of rideshare regulations and procedures affecting Kinston and statewide, we ensure your case benefits from informed, local representation at every step.

Managing a rideshare accident claim in North Carolina requires both precision and persistence, especially when liability and insurance coverage are contested. Multiple insurance policies are often involved, some unique to Uber or Lyft, each with limitations and exclusions. Our approach prioritizes identifying every possible source of compensation, including medical payments, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, and personal injury protection where available. 

To help strengthen your claim, we secure and preserve digital evidence such as trip records and camera footage, and collaborate with accident reconstruction specialists and local experts as needed. We also help handle correspondence with medical providers and insurance companies, working to minimize out-of-pocket expenses and ensure prompt payment for treatment.

The legal landscape can shift quickly after a rideshare accident, especially as new medical evidence or accident details come to light. We closely monitor every element: updating strategies and keeping you informed at every stage. For claims involving long-term medical care or impacts on your income, we coordinate with outside professionals to fully document future expenses and losses. It’s all part of our commitment to providing effective guidance so you can focus on healing while we protect your interests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who Is Liable in a Rideshare Accident?

Determining liability in a rideshare accident depends on specific facts and who was at fault. Potentially liable parties include the rideshare driver, another motorist, Uber/Lyft’s insurance, or other responsible entities. North Carolina follows a strict contributory negligence rule: if an injured party is found even slightly at fault, they may be barred from recovering compensation.

What Types of Compensation Could I Seek?

Those injured may seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and related losses. Which policy covers the claim depends on the driver's app status at the time: personal insurance applies if offline; Uber/Lyft’s policy applies if the app is active or a passenger is present, subject to coverage limits and exclusions.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?

North Carolina’s statute of limitations for personal injury, including rideshare accidents, is three years from the date of the accident. Filing late typically results in dismissal of your claim, so acting promptly is critical.

What Should I Do After a Rideshare Accident?

Call 911 for medical help and to report the accident. Collect contact details from all involved, document the scene with photos, request the rideshare trip record, and avoid discussing fault before speaking with a lawyer or investigator.
