Rideshare accidents involving vehicles working for companies like Uber and Lyft are on the rise in Los Angeles, with thousands of people using rideshare services every day, raising the risk of a collision. A concussion is one of the most common serious injuries sustained during a motor vehicle crash and can negatively affect your life going forward.
If you or your loved one was injured and sustained a concussion from a rideshare accident in Los Angeles, our capable attorneys at My Guy Cy can help you pursue a claim for compensation. As rideshare companies are really large technology companies rather than transportation companies, they tend to have large amounts of resources to defend against the consequences of accidents. We are experienced in fighting Big Tech companies, their insurers, and their lawyers to recover fair compensation for people like you.
A concussion is a brain injury that occurs when the brain is jolted from a major impact. Often, a concussion is accompanied by swelling of the brain against the skull, which can contribute to bleeding and impaired function around the affected area.
Concussion symptoms can vary from minor to extreme, which is why it is critical that you see a doctor immediately after you are involved in a rideshare accident. Symptoms of a concussion may include, but are not limited to, any of the following:
A concussion can heal quickly or last for weeks or months, and the doctor’s protocol for how to treat it will depend on your symptoms and other injuries. Severe concussions can cause more sustained brain damage and can make you more vulnerable to subsequent concussions. Suffering a concussion in a Los Angeles rideshare crash can have long-lasting impacts on your ability to live life as you would have if not for the concussion.
The first step in making a claim for compensation is gathering evidence, including medical documentation of your injuries. Based on the evidence of how the accident occurred, who was responsible, and whether the rideshare company fulfilled its duties to its passengers and other drivers, your attorney can demonstrate that the company, its driver, or both should be held legally responsible for your injuries.
After collecting the evidence necessary to show that a rideshare company should be liable, your lawyer can work to prove the full extent of your damages, such as:
These damages are generally made up of tangible hard costs, such as medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. Because economic damages are based on monetary costs, they can be calculated and estimated even before you make a claim.
These damages are more difficult to quantify than economic damages that involve things like invoices and bills, but an experienced rideshare accident attorney can help you evaluate long-term mental and psychological injuries. Pain, suffering, and emotional distress can be recovered as non-economic damages in cases involving a concussion resulting from an LA rideshare collision.
Any injury resulting from an auto collision can cause pain and drain your resources as you recover, and a concussion is no exception. After suffering a concussion from a rideshare accident in Los Angeles, you should rely on a team of experienced lawyers to help you take legal action.
