$60,000 Recovery for Rideshare Rear-End Accident

The Problem

Our client was driving home during rush hour traffic when he was violently rear-ended by a distracted driver traveling at a high rate of speed. The at-fault driver was operating a rideshare application on his phone at the time of the collision, taking his attention away from the road.

Although liability for the crash was clear, the rideshare company attempted to deny coverage by disputing that the app was active during the accident — which would have triggered their commercial insurance policy.

Our Approach

Jimenez Legal filed a lawsuit to secure justice for our client. Our attorneys:

• Used the court system to compel the production of electronic data from the rideshare company
• Proved through digital evidence that the driver was indeed using the rideshare app at the time of the collision
• Coordinated with medical experts to document the full extent of our client’s injuries and damages
• Negotiated aggressively for a fair resolution after the rideshare company’s denial was disproven

The Result

Once the evidence was clear, the case resolved quickly. Our client recovered the full limits of the ridesharing company’s insurance policy plus the at-fault driver’s personal insurance coverage — totaling $60,000 in compensation.

Key Takeaway

Rideshare companies often dispute coverage to minimize payouts. With legal action and discovery, policyholders can secure the full value of their claims.
