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.

NURSING HOME ABUSE STATISTICS

Statistics reflecting incidents of abuse involving elderly residents in nursing homes and care facilities in Missouri and throughout the United States are both staggering and disheartening.  More than 2 million cases of elder abuse are reported annually, and almost one out of every ten elderly individuals will experience some form of elder abuse.  Additionally, the overwhelming majority of elder abuse incidents remain unreported.

When nursing homes assume their responsibility of caring for an elderly individual, a trust relationship is created by the facility and the elderly person and his or her family members. When that trust relationship is broken, the elderly individual and his or her family members may have a right to file a lawsuit against the nursing facility to recover damages for injuries.  Nursing home care facilities owe both the elderly individual and their family members a duty of care, and if said duty is breached by way of negligence or perhaps criminal intent, ensuing damages can be sought against the nursing home facility.

We have successfully handled nursing home cases throughout the state of Missouri.  If you or a family member has been injured or died as the result of nursing home neglect, please call me at 314-241-4477. David G. Hughes, Attorney at Law.
