Rideshare Accidents in Spring

Where do Spring rideshare accidents happen?

Spring rideshare trips run between Springwoods Village, Old Town Spring, and Bush Airport, often on the Hardy Toll Road and I-45.

Spring rideshare trips run between Springwoods Village, Old Town Spring, the I-45 corridor, and Bush Intercontinental Airport, which is a short drive east. Many of those trips use the Hardy Toll Road and I-45 at highway speed, and the firm’s Spring rideshare cases most often involve a passenger hurt when another driver merged into the car or rear-ended it in freeway traffic. The rideshare company’s required coverage applies when a ride is in progress, and the trip records showing the driver’s app status are the first thing the firm requests. A Spring rideshare driver hurt by another car while waiting for a request has different coverage than a passenger, so the firm sorts out which period applied before any statement is given to the company’s insurer.

What to do now

What should you do after a rideshare accident in Spring?

  1. Get examined the same day. HCA Houston Healthcare Northwest (Level II trauma) and Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center (Level II trauma) handle the serious rideshare accident injuries from Spring; an urgent care visit the same day is enough to start the record if you are not transported.
  2. Photograph the vehicles, the road, and your injuries where it happened, especially on I-45 (North Freeway) and Hardy Toll Road, where scenes are cleared within minutes.
  3. Get the Spring crash report. Most Spring crashes are worked by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, a Harris County constable precinct, or DPS on I-45 and the Grand Parkway, because Spring has no city police department. The report (Texas form CR-3) is available through the TxDOT Crash Report Online Purchase System. The firm obtains it for clients at no charge.
  4. Report the crash to your own insurer, but give no recorded statement to the other driver’s carrier until you have counsel.
  5. Know where the case goes. Spring rideshare accidents suits are filed in the Harris County Civil District Courts, 201 Caroline St, or Montgomery County District Courts, Montgomery County Courthouse, Conroe (for Spring addresses north of Spring Creek) depending on the crash location.
  6. Call the firm. Spring clients are handled from Houston by phone, video, and mail, and the firm travels to Spring for meetings, depositions, and court. The consultation is free.

Spring rideshare accident questions

Where do rideshare crashes happen most in Spring?

On I-45 and the Hardy Toll Road, around Springwoods Village, and on trips to Bush Airport.

Am I covered if my rideshare crashed on the way to Bush Airport?

Yes. Once a driver accepts a ride and while the passenger is in the car, Texas law requires at least $1 million in liability coverage, and that coverage is there if your driver caused the crash.

What if another driver caused my rideshare crash in Spring?

The claim is first against the at-fault driver’s insurance. If that coverage is too small, the rideshare policy’s uninsured or underinsured coverage may apply.
