Knowing When You Could Earn More with a Lawyer
When you suffer a serious injury in an accident involving a delivery vehicle, it’s usually a good sign that you could benefit from a lawyer’s help.
A serious wound, like a broken bone, comes hand in hand with high medical bills and additional time missed at work. The higher the recovery costs go, the more insurance adjusters and lawyers for Rodie work to dodge responsibility.
Maison Law can fully investigate your crash and make sure insurers can’t blame the collision on you. Your California Rodie Delivery Accident Lawyer fights back when insurers try to downplay how badly you’ve been hurt, simply to get away with offering you less.
A lawyer may be able to earn you much more for serious injuries like these and others:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs), including moderate to severe concussions
- Neck injuries, including a long-lasting case of whiplash
- Back injuries, including spinal column injuries with disc fractures and compressions
- Bone fractures in the arms, legs, and elsewhere
- Tissue damage that tears or strains ligaments, tendons, and muscles
You can always file a claim yourself, but insurance companies can take advantage of you when you don’t know your full rights. They can get you to sign off on a quick settlement offer before you know the extent of what you’ll need to fully recover. Once you’ve signed, you can’t go back to ask for more when you find out you need additional surgeries and physical therapy in the future.
If You Aren’t Sure, Ask a Lawyer for Free
The best way to determine if you have a case against Rodie and if you need a lawyer is to schedule a free case consultation with a real California car accident lawyer.
Martin Gasparian, the founder of Maison Law, has a long track record of winning support for clients left in bad situations after a scary accident. He knows when delivery companies should be providing more support for you. Mr. Gasparian can also help you if you’ve already started the claims process and are unhappy with what an insurer is offering you for your pain.
What You Can Demand in a Delivery Vehicle Accident Settlement Check
A major accident and injury can change your lifestyle for months, and maybe even permanently. You may have to deal with pain, go through several surgeries, and even struggle to return to work and perform your job duties.
You could find yourself missing out on the hobbies you love and having to sit out family activities. Delivery companies like Rodie need to be responsible for all of these hardships and more when a careless driver causes an accident.
You must demand full compensation for your current medical bills and the money you need to cover any future care. You should receive money to cover any income they lose while your injuries keep them out of work.
You must also receive support for the pain you’ll go through and the chronic pain and arthritis that may develop. You should have the money you need to overcome any lingering anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms carried over from the moment of impact or that develop during a long, discouraging injury rehabilitation.
An experienced lawyer puts insurers on notice that they must cover all of these damages and much more. A skilled lawyer would check over every settlement offer put forward to make sure it covered everything you require to get your life back to normal. If the offer fell short, your attorney would help you reject it and demand full justice.
What to Do After a Frightening Rodie Delivery Accident
Rodie delivery service drivers can bring extra danger to California streets and highways. They can be inexperienced at hauling bigger loads. They may be in a rush to make a drop-off on time. They can get reckless on freeways and make a lane switch without checking mirrors and blind spots.
Delivery drivers also rely on their phones for their livelihood. They can receive updates from their clients, from Rodie, and mapping instructions, and it can all lead to distracted driving.
A Rodie app user can make a mistake and cause an accident, but proving that can be a different matter. A CHP officer who didn’t see what happened may not know that a delivery driver was looking at a phone when the collision occurred. An investigating officer may not even realize a driver was working at the time of the crash.
It’s why victims need to secure information and evidence at the scene if possible. Victims should contact 911 first. Ask for an ambulance if anyone is hurt in any way. Then, if the scene is secure, they should try to collect details that may quickly be cleaned up or towed away.
- Allow paramedics to check out every pain. Go to the ER if necessary.
- Give officers a full account of what happened. Alert them to the driver’s status with Rodie.
- Take pictures with your phone. Document the scene, the car or truck that hit you, debris, and marks on the pavement. Get photos of any “Rodie” signs or logos on the vehicle. Take photos of any injuries that are visible.
- Talk to any witnesses. Get contact information.
- Get a Rodie employee number from the driver if possible.
- Exchange information with everyone involved, but don’t make any statements about the accident to the Rodie driver. Insurance companies and company lawyers can twist these statements and use them against you later.
Your attorney can combine your details with other powerful evidence. Maison Law can call in accident reconstruction teams to show the mistakes a delivery driver made. We can also demand login records to demonstrate that a driver was on the clock for Rodie when the crash took place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Rodie carry insurance for its drivers?
Rodie likes to keep its drivers classified as independent contractors. They do this to try to avoid accountability when their drivers cause accidents. Rodie requires app users to bring their own vehicles and to have their own insurance policy that covers their “gig”, short-term work. In cases where an insurer won’t cover the driver, or the policy has low limits that don’t cover all the victim’s damages, Rodie could be held accountable. A lawyer can help you force Rodie to accept responsibility for its business practices.
How long do I have to file an injury claim after a delivery vehicle hits me?
You can usually file an injury claim up to two years after your accident. You should speak with an attorney as soon as possible, though. This will give your lawyer time to collect evidence before it disappears.
What if I can’t afford to pay a lawyer right after a serious accident?
After getting hit by a delivery car, van, or truck, you likely won’t have the money to spend on paying a lawyer. But that’s okay. You can always afford the protection and security Maison Law offers. We don’t ask for any payment unless we win your case for you. Then our fee comes out of the settlement check that an insurance company must write for you and your family.
