Don’t Wait, Act Now

It is important to note that there are time limits for taking legal action in rideshare accident cases. Generally, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is one year from the date of the accident. Failing to file a claim within this timeframe can result in the loss of your legal rights to seek compensation. Jack Bailey Law Corporation emphasizes the importance of acting swiftly to protect your rights and ensure that you have the best chance at a successful outcome. By acting promptly, we can ensure that your rights are protected, and we can begin building a strong case on your behalf.

If you or someone you love has been wrongfully injured in a rideshare accident, it is crucial to protect your rights and pursue legal action. When you are a passenger in a rideshare vehicle, a “cause of action” arises in the event of an accident, which serves as your legal recourse for seeking compensation. At the Jack Bailey Law Corporation, we urge you to contact us as soon as possible at (318)222-5200 or 1-800-256-8616 if you have suffered an injury.
