# Rideshare Accident Lawyers in Atlanta

Passengers and drivers injured in rideshare accidents are often reluctant to hire an attorney to help them seek compensation for their injuries. They fear the claims process involving large rideshare companies will be too complicated to handle. Unfortunately, rideshare accident claims can quickly become overwhelming due to complex insurance policies and multiple potentially liable parties.

You need assistance from someone who understands Georgia law regarding rideshare companies, has years of experience with these types of collisions, and knows how to navigate the layered insurance coverage that applies depending on the driver's status at the time of the crash. At E. Albert Law, our contingency fee billing method ensures that you can afford our services because you will not pay us anything unless we successfully resolve your rideshare accident case.

Attorney Esther Mesidor has helped recover over $2 million for injured clients. With over 10 years of experience, she brings a strategic, negotiation-driven approach to every rideshare accident case, working diligently to hold negligent drivers and insurance companies accountable.

We also represent clients injured in Uber (https://excessfundslawyer.com/uber-accident-lawyers) accidents specifically, victims of car (https://excessfundslawyer.com/car-accident-claims) accidents generally, and anyone harmed as a pedestrian struck by a vehicle (https://excessfundslawyer.com/pedestrian-accident-lawyer) in metro Atlanta.

## What Causes Rideshare Accidents in Atlanta?

Most rideshare accidents result from a driver's careless or reckless behavior while working for or picking up passengers through a rideshare app. Understanding the common causes can help you recognize when negligence has put you at risk.

### Distracted Driving from App Use

Rideshare drivers frequently glance at their phones to accept rides, follow GPS directions, or communicate with passengers, taking their attention off the road at critical moments.

### Speeding to Complete More Rides

Drivers paid per trip may feel pressure to complete rides quickly, leading to speeding and other aggressive driving behaviors that increase accident risk.

### Driver Fatigue

Many rideshare drivers work long hours or drive late at night after a full day of other work, increasing the risk of fatigue-related crashes.

### Impaired Driving

Despite company policies, some rideshare drivers operate vehicles while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, putting passengers and other motorists at serious risk.

### Unfamiliarity with Routes

Drivers navigating unfamiliar areas while relying heavily on GPS may make sudden lane changes, unexpected stops, or wrong turns that lead to collisions.

### Inadequate Driver Screening

Rideshare companies that fail to conduct thorough background checks or monitor driving records may allow unsafe drivers to continue accepting rides.

### Unsafe Pickup and Drop-off Practices

Stopping in travel lanes, blocking bike lanes, or making abrupt stops to pick up or drop off passengers frequently causes rear-end and sideswipe collisions.

### Poorly Maintained Vehicles

Personal vehicles used for rideshare driving may not receive the same maintenance oversight as commercial fleets, increasing the risk of mechanical failure.

## Types of Rideshare Accidents

Rideshare accidents come in many forms depending on the driver's status at the time of the crash. Understanding the type of accident you were involved in can help determine liability and the compensation you may be entitled to.

### Passenger Injury Accidents

Passengers riding in an app-based vehicle at the time of a crash are generally covered by the rideshare company's substantial commercial insurance policy.

### Accidents While Waiting for a Ride Request

When a driver is logged into the app but has not yet accepted a ride, limited contingent coverage from the rideshare company may apply.

### Accidents While En Route to Pick Up a Passenger

Once a driver accepts a ride and is heading to pick up a passenger, the rideshare company's full commercial liability coverage typically applies.

### Third-Party Collisions

Other drivers, pedestrians, or cyclists struck by a rideshare vehicle may pursue claims against the rideshare driver's personal insurance, the company's policy, or both.

### Accidents Caused by Another Driver

When another negligent driver causes a crash involving a rideshare vehicle, injured rideshare passengers may need to pursue a claim against that driver's insurance.

### Hit and Run Rideshare Accidents

Rideshare companies often provide uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage that may apply if the at-fault driver flees the scene or lacks adequate insurance.

## Compensation After an Rideshare Accident in Atlanta

If you have been injured in a rideshare accident due to someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for a wide range of damages. Each claim is different, but common damages include:

Medical expenses including hospitalization, surgery, prescriptions, and follow-up care

Estimated future medical treatment costs for permanent or long-term injuries

Rehabilitation costs including physical therapy and occupational therapy

Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity

Physical and emotional pain and suffering

Decreased quality of life

Loss of consortium

Property damage to personal belongings
