Legal Help for Rideshare Passengers, Drivers, and Pedestrians Injured in St. John the Baptist Parish

Rideshare services like Uber have become a convenient way to travel around LaPlace and St. John the Baptist Parish, but with that convenience comes risk. Whether you're a passenger, a pedestrian, or the driver of another vehicle, being involved in an Uber-related accident can be both physically and legally complicated.

At a time when you're focused on recovery, the last thing you need is to battle insurance companies or figure out who’s responsible for your injuries. That’s where car accident lawyer Donald D’Aunoy Jr. comes in.



With years of experience handling rideshare accident claims in Louisiana, Lawyer Don is a dedicated advocate who fights for victims of Uber accidents in LaPlace. He understands the complex insurance issues involved and works relentlessly to help you recover full compensation for your injuries, damages, and suffering.

Why Uber Accidents Are Legally Complex

Uber accidents are not like standard car accidents. That’s because multiple parties and multiple layers of insurance could be involved depending on the driver’s status at the time of the crash. For example:

• If the Uber driver was not logged into the app, only their personal insurance may apply.
• If the driver was logged in and waiting for a ride request, Uber may provide limited liability coverage.
• If the driver was en route to pick up or transport a passenger, Uber’s $1 million commercial insurance policy may kick in.

These distinctions matter greatly when pursuing compensation. Lawyer Don ensures rideshare companies can’t evade liability through technicalities, using every tool available to secure full access to applicable insurance coverage.

Who Can File an Uber Accident Claim?

If you were injured in any of the following situations in or around LaPlace, you may have a valid Uber accident claim:

• As a passenger in an Uber during a crash
• As a driver or passenger in another vehicle hit by a rideshare vehicle
• As a pedestrian or bicyclist struck by an Uber vehicle
• As a rideshare driver injured due to another party’s negligence

Regardless of how you were involved, Lawyer Don will evaluate your case and help determine liability. He knows what evidence to collect, how to deal with insurance companies, and how to ensure you’re not left paying out-of-pocket for someone else’s mistake.
