In recent years, hurricanes have become an unfortunate regularity, leaving destruction in their wake across various parts of the United States. From the devastation caused by Hurricane Irma in 2017 to the recent impacts of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, many communities continue to face the long and costly road to recovery. In particular, these storms have hit vulnerable areas, causing extensive damage from high winds, flooding, flying debris, and fallen trees. Buildings in flood-prone areas, older properties, and mobile homes often suffer the worst of the damage.

As a homeowner, renter, or commercial property owner, you take every precaution possible to safeguard your property, including investing in costly insurance policies. However, many policyholders find themselves hit twice: first by the storm and then by their insurance companies. In the wake of hurricanes like Helene and Milton, insurers have been known to underpay or deny claims, leaving policyholders with significant out-of-pocket expenses and delays in returning to “normal.”

Frequently Asked Questions About

How Much Could My Uber Accident Settlement Be?

The outcome of every case depends on the individual circumstances of the accident. Someone riding as an Uber passenger may suffer severe shoulder and leg injuries in a crash, but a pedestrian struck by a speeding Uber or Uber Eats driver may be killed. The amount for which each of those cases settles will differ and can also vary depending on the insurance policies involved.

Settlements and court judgments awarding damages to an injured Uber accident victim can include compensation for all their injuries and financial losses. When a settlement is negotiated to resolve a personal injury claim, it may include compensation for:

  • Lost earnings and loss of future earnings
  • Past and future medical expenses for hospital care, surgery, rehabilitative therapy, mental health therapy, etc.
  • Loss of use of a bodily organ or limb
  • Compensation for physical pain and suffering, plus psychological/mental pain and suffering
  • Payment for any property damage
  • Perhaps the loss of society compensation for your spouse (depending on the state of residence)
  • And any other loss or damage suffered because of Uber or the driver’s negligence

How Long Will It Take to Settle Your Lyft Accident Claim?

The time it takes to resolve any injury claim varies from case to case. When the circumstances of the accident are especially clear and undisputed, the liable party’s identity is usually agreed upon quickly. For example, if you are injured when your Lyft driver slams into the rear end of a car stopped at a traffic light, your driver’s negligence likely won’t be seriously contested.

In other situations, when several cars collide in an intersection and multiple witness statements relate contradictory versions of events, liability may be more debatable. When that occurs, insurance companies and big companies like Lyft tend to resist offering full compensation to the injured parties. Instead, the insurance companies may try to delay as a tactic to shrink the settlement you deserve.

Experienced Lyft accident lawyers at The Ruth Law Team know how to respond to unfair tactics used by insurance companies. As a well-financed law firm, we can aggressively pursue the attention of Lyft and other insurance companies, pressuring them to address your claim as quickly as possible.

The extent and permanence of your injuries could also affect the settlement period. Settlement decisions are best reserved until the exact nature of your injury and your potential recovery time is known. We always work to establish those facts as speedily as your condition and your treating healthcare providers permit.

After a Storm

After a storm, policyholders face the daunting task of documenting losses, assessing insurance coverage, and navigating the complex terms of their policies. This includes evaluating coverage limits, deductibles, and policy conditions essential to filing a claim. The goal of a property claim is not only to restore and/or replace the property, but also to place the property back into its pre-loss condition. The Ruth Law Team now handles commercial and residential property damage claims that have been delayed, denied or underpaid.

Approaching a property insurance claim is much like handling any other business transaction involving a significant investment. Many policyholders don’t realize legal action may be taken to receive the coverage you deserve. In addition to the damages covered under your insurance policy, you may also be entitled to additional damages if the insurance company acted in bad faith. When a commercial loss occurs, our firm will evaluate the property damage as well as a possible business interruption claim, to which your business may be entitled for revenue lost due to the property damage.

We can help fight the insurance company to fairly pay out claims due to damage from:

  • Hurricanes, such as Milton, Helene, and Irma
  • Windstorm
  • Tropical storm damage
  • Flooding
  • Fire

Accepting an insurance company adjuster’s estimate of the damages or its offer to settle the claim without independently investigating the damages and reviewing all available insurance coverage could easily lead to a settlement that is worth far less than you’re entitled to under your insurance policy. Our firm will front all of the expert investigation costs. Additionally, we will work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning there are no upfront costs to you, and our firm only takes a percentage of any insurance proceeds we recover on your behalf.
