Like it or not we live in an age of video, cameras are everywhere! And the video evidence from these cameras has a direct impact on personal injury cases.

If you find yourself in a situation where you have been in a collision with a ride share such as Uber, Lyft, Grubhub, DoorDash, Uber Eats – you have found yourself in a more complicated situation than a typical auto accident. There are more layers of insurance to pierce and to decide if they even apply to your situation.

If you are a driver for a ride share service such as Uber or Lyft and you are injured by someone else in an accident, you have a personal injury claim. This type of claim proceeds in a completely different fashion to a typical personal injury claim.

At Willis, Willis & Rizzi our philosophy is that if a truck driver is entrusted to move an 18 wheel vehicle across that state or country we are going to dig in and research thoroughly that both the semitruck driver and the trucking company have followed all regular traffic laws as well as the litany of federal regulations that govern their activities.

In personal injury cases, all attorneys work on a contingency fee where the attorney or law firm only gets paid if the case is won or settled and there is a recovery. This fee is very similar from attorney to attorney, or law firm to law firm. So, consider this – if you had your choice to eat out for dinner, and you could go to the best restaurant in town, or the fast food restaurant down the street, and the cost for the meal at the end of the evening would be the same, where would you decide to go?

If you have been injured in a car accident, you need a personal injury attorney, and you should not delay in researching attorneys and deciding on hiring one. The longer you wait, the more time the insurance companies have to make behind-the-scenes decisions that often hurt your personal injury claim.

Around our law office at Willis, Willis & Rizzi we talk frequently about servicing the client and it is truly the mission here! It means a lot to us when someone calls and they have never had an attorney before, they have never heard of our firm before but their brother or best friend or neighbor speaks highly of us.

At Willis, Willis & Rizzi in our roles as truck accident attorneys, we look at the case in a much broader way that goes beyond the injuries in the case. There is the injury, and there is what happened before the injury, what led to the accident even happening in the first place. We feel that what happened before the injury adds value to the trucking accident claim.

At Willis, Willis & Rizzi we have handled many personal injury cases involving commercial vehicles even when our clients didn’t realize the driver that hit them was operating on behalf of their employer.
