Everything to Consider When Choosing a Rideshare Accident Lawyer

About 36% of adults in the US use a ridesharing service. Unfortunately, not every rideshare driver is a defensive driver. The next time you’re in an Uber or Lyft accident, contact a rideshare accident lawyer right away.

They’ll help you fight for the compensation you deserve.

Not sure how to find Lyft or Uber lawyers? Read on to learn how to find an Uber or Lyft accident attorney you can depend on. With these tips, you can ensure an experienced attorney will win your case.

Read on to learn more.

Gather Referrals

Talk to friends and family members in Beverly Hills or surrounding Los Angeles areas. Ask if they were in a rideshare accident recently. If they were, ask about the Uber or Lyft accident attorney they hired.

If you know someone who was driving and got in a crash, determine if the law firm they hired also handled rideshare accident cases.

Ask each person you speak with about their own rideshare accident case to learn more about the legal process. Their story can help you manage your expectations. Referrals can also help you build a list of reputable attorneys.

Their firsthand accounts will also help you determine which lawyers to remove from your list.

If you can’t build a list of options for lawyers through referrals, start researching online. Check California’s bar association website or the Martindale-Hubbell law firm directory. Once you find a few local attorneys, look for client reviews.

Check each law firm’s website for a testimonials page. Reviews are also available on each firm’s Better Business Bureau profile and Google Business page. Look for a law firm that already has multiple reviews and a five-star rating.

Reading reviews will help you find a law firm that employs lawyers you can trust. Finding a lawyer with a strong reputation can help you feel confident in their abilities before they take your case.

Look for complaints that repeat between websites. For example, you might find lawyers that failed to keep their clients informed. Remove lawyers who were unprofessional or late to appointments from your list of options.

Check for Experience

About six million auto accidents occur in the US each year. An experienced personal injury lawyer will have an easier time winning your rideshare accident case. These attorneys will also have extensive knowledge of the laws and procedures involved.

Determine how long each attorney on your list practiced in California. Confirm they have years of local experience. Laws can vary based on where your case is filed.

If the lawyer is new to practicing in the area, remove them from your list.

An attorney with local experience might also have professional connections that can strengthen your case. For example, they might contact a medical expert to prove the crash caused your rideshare accident injury. A private investigator can help gather evidence that proves the other driver caused the crash.

Consider Your Case

Consider the complexities involved with your case. Look for an attorney who specializes in auto accidents. Then, confirm they take on Lyft and Uber accident cases.

Determine how many rideshare accidents each attorney tried in the past year. Make sure their case experience is relevant to your lawsuit.

You might find personal injury or car accident attorneys who don’t take on Lyft and Uber car accident cases. Remove these lawyers from your list.

The laws involved with rideshare accident cases are specific. For example, your attorney can help you determine if it’s more effective to sue the company or driver. An attorney who specializes in rideshare accident cases can leverage their past experience to determine an effective strategy for your case.

Find a Winner

Once you find an attorney who specializes in rideshare accident cases, ask about their case experience. Determine how many cases like yours they’ve accepted in the past year. Then, ask how many cases they won.

Look for an attorney who already has a strong case history. Their streak of wins can help you feel more confident in their ability to win your case.

Consider how much they won for each case, too.

Ask how many cases were settled out of court versus the number taken to court. Determine how many they were able to win in each situation.

Schedule a Consultation

Schedule a consultation appointment with two or three lawyers on your list. Prepare a list of questions you want to ask before the meeting.

For example:

How long have you been practicing?
How long have you specialized in your niche?
What fee structure do you follow?
What recent cases have you taken recently?
How often do you win?
How much can you win for my case?

Ask each attorney what legal strategy they would use to win your case. Ask how much they think they can win for your case, too.

The lawyer shouldn’t make a guarantee. Instead, they should consider the details surrounding your case. They should ask about your medical bills and other losses to determine how much they could win for your lawsuit.

A consultation appointment can help you fill in any gaps in your research. It can also help you find a lawyer you’re comfortable around. If they make you uncomfortable or struggle to answer your questions, continue searching.

Determine Availability

Call each personal injury law firm to determine how many cases the attorney is currently handling. Ask when they’re able to take on your case, too. If they’re juggling too many cases at once, they might drop the ball with your case.

Confirm the attorney won’t hand your case off to a junior lawyer at their firm. Instead, make sure you’re speaking with the attorney who will handle your case.

Compare Prices

Before ending the meeting, ask each lawyer about their fee structure. Look for attorneys who work on a contingency fee basis.

Comparing lawyer fees can help you determine the average while ensuring you don’t overpay for services.

Hear it from our clients

I was in a bad ride share accident while I was on my way to visit a friend in Beverly Hills. This was my very first car accident so I wasn’t familiar with the process or what I needed to do. My friend told me to call Justin Bina at Titan Law Firm because he had helped his sister get a great settlement for her car accident a while back. I called Justin and he was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable, he took the time to explain everything to me from start to finish. Long story short, I got the medical care that I needed and a great cash settlement. The process was so easy and effortless, everything was taken care of for me. Honestly, being in a car accident is horrible, but Justin and his staff really deserve a wealth of gratitude. I appreciate your help with everything, Justin. I see why so many people have so many good things to say about Titan Law. I strongly recommend to all.

Noosha Daneshvar

I have never met a lawyer like Justin until the first day I spoke with him after my car accident. He has assured me that everything is and was going to be fine. Justin made sure I was taken care of. His advice and care for me as a person was beyond five stars for a review. If it was possible I would do triple stars on all sections of service because he made me feel so comfortable through the process even when I was dealing with all the pain and injuries that eas a result of the accident. He assured me that it was gong to work out and he would honest if anything changed. Justin was not just my lawyer, but he also became my friend.

Roy Quisido

One of the most kind-hearted and at the same time aggressive attorneys I have ever come across. This law firm knows what they are doing, they go beyond expectations and bend over backwards for their clients.
But I was rear-ended, there were some issues with the insurance company, and some blame being thrown around on me, but Justin was able to sort that out masterfully. I am for sure indebted to him.
If you’ve been injured in an accident, this is the place to go for help!!

Jack Reza

Was referred to Justin Bina from a friend for a position at his firm.
Although it was not going to work out due to location, he still kindly offered some insightful advice on my current career and law school.
I’ve been in the personal injury space for a little over 5 years, and I’ve come across many personal injury attorneys. When you are involved in an accident, I recommend you look for an attorney who is compassionate, knowledgeable, and has the utmost integrity. I promise you that person is Justin.
