Who pays my medical bills while my rideshare accident case is pending?
While your case is pending, you can use your own health insurance or MedPay/PIP coverage to pay medical bills. Medical providers may also agree to a medical lien — treating you now and getting paid from your settlement. Our attorneys negotiate these liens down to maximize your net recovery.
Can passengers sue both the rideshare driver and the other driver?
Yes. As a passenger, you can pursue claims against any at-fault party — the rideshare driver, a third-party driver, or both. Our attorneys pursue all liable parties simultaneously to maximize your total recovery.
How long does a rideshare accident case take to resolve?
Most rideshare accident cases settle within 6-18 months. Cases involving serious injuries, disputed liability, or direct claims against Uber/Lyft may take longer. We push aggressively for efficient resolution without sacrificing maximum compensation.
