You May Be Able to Recover
These Damages

If you were injured in an Anderson car accident with an Uber or Lyft rideshare vehicle, you may be entitled to recover the cost of treating your injuries. Depending on the severity of your injuries, or whether you lost a loved one, the types of damages that you can recover will be specific to the details of your case.

SC Code § 15-32-210 allows you to request the following types of economic and non-economic damages from the liable party:

• Current and future medical expenses
• Current and future rehabilitation costs
• Current and future loss of income
• Repairing or replacing damaged property
• In-home care
• Physical pain and suffering
• Physical disability or disfigurement
• Mental and emotional anguish
• Funeral and burial expenses

You could also be entitled to recover other types of losses. By carefully assessing the financial impact of the accident, our team can work to ensure that no injury-related costs are overlooked. We want you to get the financial recovery that your case deserves.

Do Not Wait to File Your Lawsuit

Seeking compensation from the liable party can be a time-consuming, complex undertaking. Your case can be even more challenging if you do not know who to pursue for your damages. Depending on the rideshare driver’s status at the time of the collision, you may be able to recover compensation under Uber or Lyft’s insurance policy. However, if the rideshare driver was not actively accepting or completing requests, you would proceed with your case without any regard to the ridesharing aspect.

While your legal team determines liability, collects evidence, and evaluates the monetary value of your case, the time you have to file a personal injury lawsuit starts ticking away. SC Code. § 15-3-530 generally allows three years from the date of an accident to file a lawsuit. Hiring an Anderson Uber and Lyft rideshare accident lawyer can be beneficial to your legal interests.

Request a Copy of Your Crash Report

Filing a crash report after a car accident can work to benefit your car accident case. Some of the details in this document will provide your lawyer with important pieces of information.

In Anderson, a crash report is mandatory, according to SC Code § 56-5-1260, if anyone involved in the accident is injured or passes away.

In addition to documenting important details, your crash report will also tell your lawyer:

• The name and contact information of the at-fault driver
• The name and contact information for their insurance provider
• Identifying information regarding the involved vehicles
• Notes and diagrams from the investigating officer
• Witness names, contact information, and statements

Request a copy of your crash report as soon as it is made available. Keep a copy for your personal records and share a copy with your lawyer. Your lawyer will use the information it contains to prove fault, assign liability, and fight for the monetary compensation you are entitled to.

You May Be Able to Settle Your Case Out of Court

You may be able to settle your car accident claim without having to file a lawsuit and go to court. Your lawyer can help you negotiate a financial settlement with the liable party. Yet, while accepting a settlement from the insurance company may seem like a favorable resolution, you should be aware that once you agree to a settlement, it is final. You will not be able to pursue additional funds later, even if additional costs arise.

Only you (not your lawyer) can agree to accept a settlement offer. Your lawyer can advise you on the feasibility of the offers you receive, but ultimately, the decision whether to accept a settlement is up to you. At Hammack Law Firm, our goal is to help you accept an offer that leaves you with no outstanding expenses.
