Milwaukee Rideshare Delivery Accident Lawyer

In today’s fast-paced world, more people than ever rely on rideshare and delivery services like Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and Instacart. But with the rise in rideshare vehicles and delivery drivers on Milwaukee’s streets, there has also been a surge in accidents involving these drivers. Whether you were a passenger, pedestrian, or driver impacted by such an accident, navigating the aftermath can be complicated—especially when dealing with insurance companies, independent contractors, and rideshare companies.

If you’ve been injured in a rideshare accident or a crash involving a delivery driver, you deserve a legal advocate who understands how to navigate these complex cases. A dedicated Milwaukee rideshare delivery accident lawyer at the Law Offices of Gary S. Greenberg is here to help you hold the liable parties accountable and recover compensation for your injuries.

Legal Support for Injured Parties After Rideshare and Delivery Accidents

Whether you were hurt in a car accident involving an Uber, struck by a negligent DoorDash driver, or suffered injuries as a passenger, these collisions can result in serious injuries, mounting medical bills, and weeks—if not months—of extensive medical treatment.

The Law Offices of Gary S. Greenberg provides aggressive and compassionate representation for people hurt in rideshare or delivery-related car accident cases across Wisconsin. We know that most car accident cases are already stressful—but when you factor in rideshare drivers, insurance policies, and unclear fault, the path forward becomes even more confusing.

That’s where we step in. Our law firm is committed to securing the maximum compensation you need to recover and move forward.

What Makes Rideshare and Delivery Accidents Different?

Accidents involving rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft or delivery companies such as Amazon or Grubhub are legally complex due to the number of liable parties involved. These drivers are often classified as independent contractors, which means their employer may try to avoid responsibility for the crash.

But if the accident occurred while the driver was actively working—whether transporting a passenger or delivering food—they may be covered under the company’s insurance coverage.

Our legal team investigates critical factors like:

• The vehicle details and who owned the car
  
• The status of the app (active, picking up, or en route)
  
• The police report and driver background
  
• Any visible injuries or medical records
  
• Available insurance policies, including uninsured motorist or underinsured motorist coverage
  

Common Injuries from Rideshare and Delivery Crashes

Just like any auto accident, injuries in these cases range from mild to life-altering. Our law firm routinely handles cases involving:

• Traumatic brain injuries
  
• Catastrophic injuries like spinal cord damage or amputations
  
• Broken bones, whiplash, and internal bleeding
  
• Psychological distress, including emotional trauma
  
• Lost earning capacity and lost wages
  
• Medical expenses and the need for long-term medical care
  

We help clients access a thorough medical evaluation, review medical records, and connect with specialists to prove the extent of their serious injuries.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Rideshare or Delivery Accident?

Depending on how the accident occurred, multiple parties may share responsibility. This can include:

• The at fault driver (the rideshare or delivery driver)
  
• Another negligent driver (the other driver)
  
• The rideshare company or delivery company
  
• Insurance companies that deny valid insurance claims
  

Many drivers involved in delivery or rideshare services rely on their personal insurance policies, which often do not cover commercial activity. If they lack proper insurance coverage, your lawyer may pursue a claim under your uninsured or underinsured driver policy.

How Our Milwaukee Rideshare Delivery Accident Lawyers Can Help

From the moment the accident scene is cleared, our experienced accident lawyers go to work. We gather critical evidence, interview witnesses, work with accident reconstructionists, and file detailed personal injury claims on your behalf.

Here’s what our process involves:

1. Thorough investigation of the car accident
   
2. Collection and review of medical records
   
3. Evaluation of all available insurance policies
   
4. Handling all communication with insurance companies
   
5. Representing you in legal proceedings if necessary

Coverage Issues: Uninsured and Underinsured Drivers

Our attorneys understand the complexities of Wisconsin’s auto insurance coverage laws and help you navigate claims related to:

• Uninsured or underinsured drivers
  
• Denied or delayed insurance claims
  
• Disputes over fault or vehicle damage

Milwaukee Rideshare Delivery Accident Lawyer FAQs

What should I do immediately after a rideshare or delivery accident in Milwaukee?

First, ensure your safety and seek medical attention. Call 911 to file a police report, take photos of the accident scene, and collect information from all drivers involved. Then, contact a Milwaukee rideshare delivery accident lawyer to begin building your case.

Who pays for damages in an Uber or Lyft accident?

Depending on the driver’s status at the time of the crash, either their personal insurance policy or the company’s commercial policy may apply. If neither applies and the driver is uninsured, you may need to rely on your own uninsured motorist or underinsured motorist coverage.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim after a rideshare accident in Wisconsin?

Under Wisconsin law, you typically have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit from the date the accident occurred. However, it’s best to act quickly to preserve evidence and strengthen your case.

Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?

Yes. Wisconsin follows a modified comparative fault rule. As long as you are less than 51% at fault, you may still recover compensation, though your award may be reduced.

What damages can I recover in a rideshare or delivery accident case?

In addition to medical expenses, you may recover for lost wages, emotional trauma, pain and suffering, vehicle damage, and long-term effects like disability or traumatic brain injuries.
