$982,000 Settlement for Client Injured in Rideshare Crash

What should have been a routine rideshare trip turned into a life-changing event for our client. She was riding as a rideshare passenger when the driver failed to maintain his lane and crashed. The impact caused a serious head injury, which ultimately left her unable to work.

When we began our investigation, troubling facts quickly surfaced. The rideshare driver had a history filled with dangerous driving violations. These violations should have prevented him from ever driving for a rideshare company. Yet, the company failed to properly screen him, putting passengers like our client at risk.

We built a case showing that this was more than just driver negligence. It was a systemic failure by the rideshare company to ensure passenger safety. By uncovering the driver’s history and proving the company’s inadequate screening process, we secured a $982,000 settlement for our client.

While no amount of money can undo the harm caused, this resolution provides her with resources to cover medical needs, replace lost income, and move forward after a devastating injury.

At Brooks Law Partners, we fight to hold not only negligent drivers accountable, but also the companies that fail to protect the people who trust them.
