St. Louis Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyers

We are reviewing and accepting rideshare accident lawsuits, and/or injury-related claims in the State of Missouri. In Missouri, you have five years from an accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. It is important to act quickly to ensure your case is filed within the time limit, and that valuable evidence is not lost in the mix. The benefits of ridesharing services often come with additional risks, and Uber and Lyft drivers are involved in accidents daily. We are experienced ridesharing accident lawyers.

If you have been involved in a wreck and/or a motor vehicle accident involving either Uber or Lyft drivers, we recommend that you immediately call 911, and ask for police and an ambulance, if necessary. You should then report your side of the story to the responding police officer as accurately and calmly as possible. We also recommend that you take pictures and/or videos of the damages caused by the accident, and collect any information that you can at the scene. If you are injured, you should either go to the emergency room, or contact your primary care physician.

Your damages can include economic damages for past and future medical expenses, lost wages due to missed work, and lost earning capacity due to long-term injuries. Injured parties also have the right to non-economic damages, which include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium, and other losses that are difficult to quantify.

Uber and Lyft accidents are often caused by distracted driving, speeding, fatigued driving, and/or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

If you, and/or a loved one, has been injured in a wreck or motor vehicle accident involving either Uber or Lyft, please contact David G. Hughes at Mogab & Hughes Attorneys, P.C. at 314-241-4477.

Underinsured Motorist Case Recovery – St. Louis, Missouri

I recently recovered $250,000.00 in underinsured motorist coverage for my client’s injuries and damages arising out of a 2018 automobile accident that had been settled for the liable party’s $100,000.00 policy limits. The underinsured motorist insurance carrier initially offered nothing to its insured, but during litigation as the case got close to trial, the insurance company offered the $250,000.00 policy limits.

If you or anyone that you know has a potential automobile accident liability case and/or an underinsurance motorist case, please call me, Attorney David Hughes, at 314-241-4477.

Missouri Dram Shop Cases (Injured by Drunk Drivers)

We have successfully represented people who have been injured and/or killed against persons/companies licensed to sell intoxicating liquor by the drink for consumption on premises. This includes cases we have successfully handled and recovered money for people injured by sellers who knew or should have known that they were serving and/or selling intoxicating liquor to a person under the age of 21 years. We have also successfully recovered money for people who have been injured by businesses that have served intoxicating liquor to a visibly intoxicated person. Under Missouri law, a person is visibly intoxicated when inebriated to such an extent that the impairment is shown by significantly uncoordinated physical action or significant physical dysfunction.

If you or a loved one have been injured by a drunk driver, please call Attorney David Hughes at 314-241-4477.
