Rideshare passenger in a 3-car pileup
Kevin was a passenger in a rideshare. Two cars, two policies, one settlement.
Kevin Sato·36·Austin, TX
Settlement
$42,000
I was on my way to the airport. I was in the back seat looking at my phone. The next thing I knew there was glass everywhere.
I had a concussion and a sprained wrist. Nothing dramatic, but enough that I missed my trip and then missed two weeks of work.
I almost didn't call anyone. I figured passengers don't really have a claim. Turns out we have one of the strongest claims, because we're not the ones being blamed.
Forty-two thousand dollars later, I'd say making the call was worth twenty minutes of my time.
How the settlement broke down
- Medical (ER, follow-ups)$6,000
- Lost wages$4,000
- Pain and suffering$32,000
