Rideshare Accidents & Spinal Cord Injuries: What You Need to Know<\/h2>\n

Spinal cord injuries from rideshare collisions can result in paraplegia (paralysis<\/a> of the lower body) or quadriplegia (paralysis of all four limbs). These cause permanent loss of sensation and movement below the injury site. According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC)<\/a>, the average lifetime cost of care for a spinal cord injury ranges from approximately $1.3 million to over $4.7 million. The exact amount depends on injury severity and your age at the time of injury.<\/p>\n

Rideshare cases involve unique liability questions. The at-fault driver bears responsibility for their negligence\u2014speeding, distracted driving, reckless behavior, or violating traffic laws. But Uber and Lyft themselves may also be liable if they failed to properly vet drivers, provide adequate training, maintain safe vehicles, or monitor their platform.<\/p>\n

Additionally, a third-party vehicle, road hazard, or property defect may have contributed to the accident. Your lawyer must identify all responsible parties and all available insurance to maximize your recovery.<\/p>\n
