Boulder City Rideshare Accident Lawyer
Boulder City Rideshare Accident Attorney
Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are popular in Boulder City and throughout Nevada. While these services offer accessible transportation, it is important to know what to do if you experience an accident. While Uber and Lyft accidents happen for the same reasons that other vehicle accidents occur, the legal aftermath of a rideshare accident is far more complex. A Boulder City rideshare accident lawyer is a vital resource if you have had such an incident.

Recovery From Uber and Lyft Accidents in Boulder City
State law requires every driver to have personal auto insurance, and rideshare companies are also required to have additional insurance coverage that works in different tiers based on the conditions of the accident. When a rideshare driver is off the clock, their own auto insurance policy would apply if they caused an accident.
After a rideshare driver marks themselves as available for a ride request, the first level of rideshare company insurance applies if they cause an accident. After they pick up a passenger, the second level of coverage applies until they deliver the passenger to their destination. In most cases, the rideshare driver’s personal auto insurance applies first to the victim’s damages, and then the rideshare company’s insurance can compensate the remainder.
Your Boulder City rideshare accident lawyer can help you navigate the difficult insurance claim filing process you are likely to encounter in the aftermath of your accident. Once you have proven liability for the crash and recovered as much compensation as you can through auto insurance, the remainder of your damages must be sought through a personal injury claim.
When you choose Easton & Easton to represent your case, we can be available to answer your questions and provide support for every step of this complex legal journey. Our goal for every client we represent in Boulder City is maximum recovery in the shortest possible timeframe. You have a time limit for pursuing compensation for your damages, so it is vital that you reach out to our team as soon as possible so we can start working on your case right away.
FAQs
Q: How Do I Prove Liability for a Rideshare Accident?
A: Your Boulder City rideshare accident lawyer can help identify all the evidence you will need to firmly prove fault for your recent Uber or Lyft accident. This evidence could include physical evidence from the scene of the crash, digital evidence like traffic camera recordings and cell phone records, and testimony from witnesses who saw the accident happen. Your attorney may call expert witnesses to help explain any complex technical details of your case.
Q: How Long Do I Have to File a Rideshare Accident Claim in Boulder City?
A: Your recovery from your rideshare accident is likely to begin with an auto insurance claim, and a claimant typically has only a few days in which to notify an insurer of their intent to file a claim. If you cannot fully recover your losses through insurance alone, you will need to file a personal injury suit against the at-fault driver, and the state enforces a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims.
Q: What Happens if I Share Fault for My Recent Accident?
A: If you were driving your own vehicle and contributed to causing a rideshare accident, your shared fault will diminish the amount of compensation you can claim from the at-fault driver. Under Nevada’s modified comparative fault rule, the plaintiff may still recover compensation as long as they are less at fault than the defendant. If they are 50% or more at fault, they will be personally responsible for their own damages and cannot seek compensation from any other party.
Q: Why Do I Need a Boulder City Rideshare Accident Lawyer?
A: Legal counsel you can trust is an invaluable asset after any car accident in Boulder City, especially one as complex as a rideshare accident is likely to be. Your attorney can handle your case for you so you can focus on your recovery, and you are more likely to maximize your total compensation with their assistance. Your attorney will know all the various avenues of compensation available to you, some of which you would likely overlook on your own.
Q: What Are Attorney Fees for a Boulder City Rideshare Accident Lawyer?
A: The attorneys at Easton & Easton accept personal injury clients on a contingency fee basis, so you will not pay any upfront or ongoing fees for our firm’s representation. We will take a percentage of the final case award we secure for you as our fee, but only if and when we win your case. If our team is unable to obtain compensation for your damages, you pay nothing, so there is no financial risk in choosing our firm to represent you.

Retaining Easton and Easton was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! From the initial consultation to our final meeting, they were nothing short of exceptional. I was forced to retain their services after firing my previous attorney for not handling the case properly. I dealt with Gabriel and Brian (partner) exclusively throughout the case. They did as promised and were great communicators throughout the entire process. I will recommend them to anyone I know going through a personal injury case. They were ultimately able to untangle the mess caused by my previous lawyer and get a result that I was extremely happy with. Their staff is exceptional as well and provided top notch customer service. Amera was also extremely helpful and easy to deal with as well.
I was in a pretty bad car accident and decided to have Easton & Easton represent me, Travis Easton to be specific. Travis Easton and his paralegal made the whole process effortless. They were so understanding and helpful! The entire thing was a gigantic mess, yet Travis managed to make it run like clockwork. I would HIGHLY recommend Easton & Easton! If you are ever in need of a personal defense attorney Easton & Easton is the firm to represent you!
