Sonoma County Rideshare Accident Lawyer

Rideshare accidents in Sonoma County are complex cases due to the number of parties involved and the nature of the accident itself.

At Hansen, Frisbie & Clausen Law Firm, our attorneys have more than 40 years of combined experience with personal injury cases, and we are dedicated to protecting our clients’ rights in Sonoma and Napa counties. Our Sonoma County rideshare accident lawyers are happy to provide the guidance and insights you need at this time.

The Unique Challenges Of Rideshare Accidents

Rideshare car accidents are a bit different because they often involve multiple parties and insurance policies. For instance, the driver and the rideshare company may both have their own insurance provider. It can be complex to determine liability in the crash and to understand how the insurance policies owned by companies like Uber or Lyft apply to your case.

For instance, maybe you needed a ride to Charles M. Schulz – Sonoma County Airport or one of the popular local attractions, such as the Redwood Empire Ice Arena or the Luther Burbank Center for the Arts. If you are injured in a crash your driver caused, you may be able to sue them directly, seek compensation from their personal auto insurance provider or seek compensation from the rideshare company’s coverage. It often depends on factors like which driver caused the accident, whether the driver was using the rideshare app at the time of the crash and more.

An experienced Sonoma County rideshare accident lawyer can help you address the next steps, contact the appropriate parties and determine who is liable to cover your costs.

Common Causes Of Rideshare Accidents

People who plan to drink alcohol often use rideshare services to stay safe, such as when they are going to the Paradise Ridge Winery or the Benziger Family Winery. If you do so, even though you are making a wise choice yourself, you could be injured in a car accident while using the service. These rideshare accidents happen because of:

  • Distracted driving
  • Impaired driving
  • Fatigued drivers
  • Aggressive or reckless driving
  • Vehicle maintenance issues or malfunctions
  • Third-party negligence

A Napa County Uber accident attorney can help you explore your legal options.

Your Rights After A Rideshare Accident

If you are involved in a rideshare accident, it is crucial to seek medical attention immediately. You may need critical care, and it helps your case to have medical records demonstrating your injuries. It is also important to report the crash and get a copy of the police report.

If you are contacted by insurance companies or rideshare representatives, it is usually best not to give recorded statements without a Marin County Lyft accident lawyer at your side. You never want to apologize or say anything that could be misconstrued as admitting fault, and our firm will work hard to protect your rights and ensure you get the fair compensation you deserve. Your rideshare accident claim in California may address:

  • Medical bills
  • Long-term care needs
  • Lost wages
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering

When you need a rideshare personal injury lawyer and you choose us, we will be your aggressive defenders and protect your rights, while also offering the compassionate support you need at this time.

I met Monte more than 30 years ago after my wife was seriously injured in an accident that was not her fault. She was a passenger, and at the time we had both the wrong attorney and the wrong doctor handling the case.

Monte took over, replaced our attorney, helped us get a new doctor, and completely changed the direction of the case. Three years later, he took it all the way to a jury trial and won the maximum award available for soft-tissue injuries.

What sets Monte apart is that he is fully prepared to go to trial when necessary. Insurance companies know this, which often results in stronger settlement offers and better outcomes for his clients. He took a chance on our case because if he had lost, he would have absorbed all the costs himself.

Monte also gave us something that’s hard to find today—his time. He was always available to answer questions and speak with us personally. In my experience, very few attorneys provide the level of dedication, commitment, and personal attention that Monte does.

If you need an attorney who is willing to fight for you and take your case all the way to trial when necessary, I highly recommend Monte.

“I am in awe of the level of expertise, efficiency, and compassion shown from every member of this law firm. Roy Miller along with Monte Hansen represented us in a complicated and potentially serious juvenile felony conviction, and they were able to complete the case with great success. Maria answered my many concerned calls and email messages with care and understanding, even when I was probably asking too many questions. This is a very likable group of attorneys and staff, and I have to say it was fascinating watching Roy Miller in action in the courtroom. I will definitely recommend this law firm to anyone in need of their reasonably priced services, especially for those in Sonoma County, where they have extensive knowledge of the system, judges, District Attorney’s, etc. We feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to be represented by Hansen & Miller Law Firm.”
