Never Accept a Settlement Without Speaking to a Lyft and Uber Accident Lawyer

Rideshare companies may be quick to offer a settlement following an accident. Insurance companies want to provide payment quickly, but in exchange for this they may ask you to surrender any future rights to legal claims. This can cause you great financial harm in the future.

Any car accident involving a sudden stop, rollover or penetrative impact to a vehicle may result in traumatic brain injury, even if there is no obvious head injury during the accident. Life-altering symptoms of brain injury may not appear for six months to a year after the injury is sustained. Joint and muscle injuries may also take time to develop.

If you accept a settlement quickly and experience symptoms later, you could find yourself on your own financially. Any settlement should be reviewed by a lawyer before you agree to it to ensure that you are not giving up your rights. Call us at 1-888-423-4477 or contact us online.
