Rideshare Accident Attorney in Mobile

Compensation for passengers involved in such accidents typically comes from the insurance policies of the involved parties. If the rideshare driver is at fault, their insurance, along with additional coverage provided by the rideshare company, may be responsible for compensating the passengers. However, if another driver is at fault, that driver's insurance carrier would usually be the primary source of compensation. The specifics can vary based on the rideshare company's policies, the driver's status at the time of the accident (like whether they were actively carrying a passenger), and the individual circumstances of that particular case.

If you win your case, you may recover damages, just as long as you're not at fault for the accident, given that Alabama follows the plaintiff-unfriendly contributory negligence law. That said, insurance companies often try to take advantage of this law to evade liability, one more reason to hire an attorney. If you win, you may be entitled to the following damages:

• Medical expenses, covering both immediate treatment and ongoing healthcare needs resulting from the accident
• Lost wages, compensating for the time you could not work due to your injuries. 
• Pain and suffering, addressing the physical and emotional distress caused by the accident. 
• Property damage, such as repairs to your vehicle. 

These damages aim to restore your financial and personal situation as closely as possible to what it was before the accident. If the other party was particularly reckless, the judge or jury might also award you punitive damages.
