We can help you build a case and pursue compensation for various injuries and severities. Some of our clients suffer catastrophic injuries, while others have relatively minor or moderate injuries that heal completely in time.
Regardless of your injuries, we can pursue the same types of damages for you. The difference will be how many of the expenses and losses you incurred and how much the accident cost you. Those with life-altering, serious injuries often seek future care costs and losses, too.

Our Leesburg Rideshare Accident Attorneys Know How to File Your Insurance Claim
When it comes to ridesharing options, both Uber and Lyft operate in Leesburg, VA. These rideshare companies work in similar ways, with contracted drivers using apps to match with riders. They then pick up the rider and drop them off at their destination.
Insurance coverage works similarly for both companies, as well. There are three options for the insurance that might be in effect when a crash occurs:
- The driver’s personal injury policy is in effect when they are not signed into the app.
- The rideshare company provides a contingency policy when they are signed in to the app but not yet matched with a rider. If the driver’s insurance refuses to pay, the rideshare’s insurance policy kicks in.
- The rideshare company provides a large liability insurance policy that is in effect when the driver matches with a rider until the ride ends.
We can determine which policy was in effect when the collision occurred and file your insurance claim based on that policy. We will get to work building your case as soon as you hire our team to represent you.
