Milford Rideshare Accident Lawyer
Rideshare services have made transportation easier for all. However, these accidents can cause people to sustain serious injuries that leave them with financial hardships. At Nugent & Bryant, we know that when a rideshare accident happens, the aftermath can be confusing and stressful. Assessing who is responsible and whose insurance policy applies can be more confusing compared to standard vehicle collisions. The added element of a third-party rideshare company makes the situation more complicated. If you were recently in a rideshare accident, we recommend speaking with our Milford, CT rideshare accident lawyer. We can get you fair compensation for your damages and losses.
Rideshare Accident Lawyer Milford, CT
Rideshare accidents are different from other auto accidents because there are many insurance layers that may apply. As our rideshare accident attorney explains, depending on when the collision happened, the coverage may come from the rideshare company’s insurance, the rideshare driver’s personal policy, or another at-fault driver’s policy. Our Milford rideshare accident lawyer can review the details of the accident to identify which insurer is responsible and how to seek monetary recovery for your injuries based on Connecticut law. Liability depends on if the driver was not logged into the app, the driver was logged in but waiting for a ride request, or the driver was en route or transporting a passenger.
There are several common causes for why rideshare accidents happen. Some of these reasons could be from distracted driving, speeding, reckless drivers, drowsy drivers, unsafe pickup or drop-off locations, poor weather, roadway hazards, drivers under the influence, or negligence by another motorist. Our rideshare accident attorney can investigate, gather evidence, reconstruct the collision, and hold the liable parties accountable for your losses. After the accident, it is important to call the police, report the crash, take photos of the scene and your injuries, gather the name and insurance information from all drivers, report the accident through the rideshare app, and then contact our team for further guidance from there.
Why Experience Matters For Rideshare Accident Cases
Rideshare accidents are more complex because of the third-party company that is involved. It can be difficult for victims to get into contact with the rideshare company and receive fair payment for their losses. You can rely on our rideshare accident attorney for assistance because:

- It is at the core of our legal practice to show empathy and strategy for the benefit of our client’s recovery.
