Common Rideshare Accident Injuries
Rideshare accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from minor bumps and bruises to severe and life-altering conditions.
Some of the most common injuries we see in these cases include the following:
- Whiplash and other neck injuries: The sudden impact of a collision can cause the head to jerk back and forth, leading to whiplash and other neck injuries that can cause chronic pain and limited mobility.
- Back injuries: Back injuries, including sprains, strains, and herniated discs, are also frequent in rideshare accidents. These can lead to significant pain and long-term complications.
- Traumatic brain injuries: Even a seemingly minor bump to the head can cause a traumatic brain injury. These injuries can have lasting effects on cognitive function, memory, and personality.
- Broken bones and fractures: The force of an accident can cause fractures in any part of the body, often requiring surgery and extensive rehabilitation.
- Internal injuries: Internal bleeding or organ damage can occur in serious rideshare accidents, posing a significant risk to the victim's health.
The impact of these injuries can be significant, leading to medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress. At Van Sant Law, we understand the challenges you face after an accident, and we can help you navigate the complex legal process of pursuing the compensation you deserve.

Possible Liable Parties In A Rideshare Accident
Determining who's at fault in a rideshare accident isn't always straightforward. The nature of rideshare services, with independent contractors and complex insurance policies, can complicate matters.
Potentially liable parties include, but are not limited to:
- The rideshare driver: If the rideshare driver's negligence or reckless behavior caused the accident, they may be held liable.
- Another driver: If another vehicle was involved in the accident, their negligence could make them liable.
- The rideshare company: In some cases, the rideshare company itself might be partially liable, particularly if they failed to screen or train their drivers properly or if there was a malfunction with their app.
- Vehicle manufacturers or maintenance providers: If a vehicle defect or improper maintenance contributed to the accident, these parties might also share liability.
Untangling these complexities is what we do. At Van Sant Law, we can thoroughly investigate your case to pin down liability in pursuit of maximum compensation.
