Six Figure Rideshare Settlement

Rideshares call for passengers to put their trust in drivers they have never met before in the hopes that they will arrive at their destination safely, but unfortunately, that does not always happen.

Our client, a combat veteran, was seriously injured in a collision while driving to work when a rideshare driver made an unprotected left turn in front of him, resulting in a T-bone impact. The crash aggravated our client’s pre-existing neck, back, and knee injuries, necessitating surgery and rendering him unable to perform his job duties.

Our attorneys Jorge Mares and Lance Kimbro were called into action to help this veteran. With the help of their team, they immediately began working to ensure that justice would be delivered. They created iron-clad arguments with unmovable foundations to help bring a settlement to our client for the very high six figures.

It is an honor to assist those who have served in the military. Their sacrifices on behalf of those of us at home are immense, and they deserve safety and security when they return. We are proud to have helped our client achieve the justice they deserve. Great job, team!

Rideshare Auto Accident Settlement

Rideshares are supposed to be a safe alternative to driving. The rider enters the vehicle under the assumption that the driver is not impaired and will drive cautiously, but that does not always happen.

Our client was a backseat passenger in a rideshare vehicle when the driver pulled out from a stop sign into cross traffic causing an accident. The driver was functioning on less than an adequate amount of sleep as there was evidence that he drove until after 2 am the previous shift and began driving again at 7 am that same day up until 6 pm when the crash occurred. On top of the sleep deprivation impairment from the driver, he also failed to ensure that our client was properly belted in before departing which resulted in our client experiencing head and neck injuries from the accident.

Attorneys Jennifer Neal, Caleb Rackley, and Jessica Peisen along with their team immediately got to work when our client called. They immersed themselves in all the difficult to navigate driver policies for rideshares and built a strong case foundation for our client. Their hard work paid off when they were able to settle this case for high six figures ensuring our client received justice.

Remember that driving impaired does not always mean under the influence of a substance, sometimes lack of sleep can impair judgment as well. Great job team and keep fighting the good fight!
