How we build your case

College Park rideshare investigations require understanding of university traffic patterns, student pedestrian behavior, and special event dynamics. We secure University of Maryland Police reports, Prince George’s County Police reports, and Maryland State Police highway reports. Campus security footage, business surveillance, and traffic cameras provide critical evidence. Driver app records establish on-duty status and route details.

Rideshare insurance coverage explained

Personal policy only (off-app): When drivers are logged off, personal auto insurance is the only coverage. Rideshare exclusions often deny these claims. We challenge denials through litigation and pursue alternative recovery.

Contingent coverage (waiting): Uber and Lyft provide backup liability only after personal insurance denies. This phase creates coverage disputes we resolve through persistent legal action.

Commercial coverage (active trip): $1 million liability coverage applies during passenger transport. Uninsured motorist benefits supplement this protection. We maximize recovery by documenting all injury impacts and losses.

Damages we recover

College Park rideshare victims receive care at University of Maryland Medical Center, Prince George’s Hospital Center, and University Health Center. We document emergency treatment, ongoing care, rehabilitation, and psychological services. Student victims recover for academic disruption, missed semesters, lost internships, and career delays.

Maryland comparative negligence and rideshare accidents

Maryland’s contributory negligence rule bars recovery for any victim fault. Students riding as passengers typically bear no liability. Pedestrian victims must prove complete driver negligence. We build cases that eliminate any possibility of shared fault through detailed investigation.

Statute of limitations and evidence preservation

Maryland’s three-year statute of limitations applies strictly. However, evidence disappears quickly on a dynamic college campus. Security footage expires, students graduate and relocate, and rideshare data gets purged. Immediate action preserves your claim.

Common causes of rideshare driver negligence

Distracted driving in campus zones: Drivers managing apps while navigating heavy student pedestrian traffic cause preventable crashes. We prove distraction through phone and app records. Game-day recklessness: Special event traffic at Maryland football games creates chaos—rushing drivers cause injuries. Late-night fatigue: Weekend bar-closing rideshare trips involve exhausted drivers who cause preventable accidents.

What you pay

Contingency-fee basis—no attorney fees unless we win your case. All litigation costs including expert witnesses, accident reconstruction, medical records, and court fees are advanced by Mallon LLC without any payment from you.
