The damages available in any particular case depend on the facts, the evidence, the severity of the injuries, and applicable Nevada law. Every claim is different, but compensation may include both economic and non-economic losses when supported by the evidence.
Medical Expenses
Medical costs often represent one of the largest portions of a rideshare injury claim. Depending on your injuries, these expenses may include emergency room treatment, ambulance transportation, hospital stays, surgery, diagnostic testing, prescription medications, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and future medical care.
Lost Income and Reduced Earning Capacity
If your injuries prevent you from working, you may be able to recover compensation for lost wages. In more serious cases, an injury may affect your ability to return to your previous job or earn the same income in the future.
Pain and Suffering
Some accident-related losses are not reflected in medical bills alone. Nevada law may allow recovery for the physical pain, emotional distress, inconvenience, and reduced quality of life caused by an accident, depending on the circumstances.
Property Damage
If your personal vehicle, bicycle, motorcycle, or other property was damaged in the collision, you may also seek reimbursement for repair or replacement costs when appropriate.
Wrongful Death Damages
If a loved one tragically loses their life in a rideshare accident, surviving family members may have legal options under Nevada law. Wrongful death claims are highly fact-specific, and Nevada generally sets a two-year deadline to file, so speaking with an attorney can help families better understand their rights.
