What to Know If You’re Hit by a Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) in Las Vegas

If you find yourself involved in an accident with a rideshare vehicle in Las Vegas, it can be a daunting experience. Whether you're a pedestrian, another driver, or a passenger, understanding your rights and responsibilities is crucial. At Rex Law, we specialize in aggressively representing victims of such accidents to ensure they get the justice and compensation they deserve.

 

Understanding Third-Party Liability

 

Third-party liability refers to the legal responsibility of an entity that isn’t directly involved in an accident but may be held accountable due to negligence. In the context of rideshare accidents, this can include the rideshare company itself, depending on the circumstances of the accident and whether the rideshare driver was at fault while logged into the app.

 

Why This Issue Matters

 

The aftermath of a rideshare accident can lead to significant financial burdens due to medical bills and vehicle repairs. Legally, determining liability can be complex, involving multiple parties such as the driver, the rideshare company, and potentially other drivers. Personally, the incident can cause emotional distress and physical injury, affecting your quality of life.

 

Step-by-Step Guidance

 

Document Everything: Gather the driver's information, take photos of the accident scene, and obtain contact details of witnesses. This documentation is vital for building a strong case.

Proving Fault: Fault is usually determined by the police report and available evidence. However, a skilled lawyer can contest findings if necessary by conducting an independent investigation.

 

Common Case Scenarios

 

Typical scenarios might include a driver failing to yield, running red lights or pedestrian crossings, and distracted driving due to app use. Each case requires a detailed examination to establish responsibility and claim compensation.

 

Common Challenges

 

Victims often face challenges such as delayed insurance claims, disputes over liability, and insufficient compensation offers. The involvement of large corporations like Uber or Lyft can complicate the matter further, requiring expert legal intervention.
