Common Car Accident Injuries
Car accidents can cause a variety of injuries ranging in severity. Some of the mildest injuries often include cuts, scrapes, sprains, strains, and bruises for example. However, many victims of auto accidents run the risk of suffering some of the following injuries: head injuries (concussions), traumatic brain injuries, neck injuries, back injuries, knee injuries, shoulder injuries, hand injuries, foot injuries, arm injuries, leg injuries, and spinal cord injuries, for example. Many of these injuries require medical attention and can result in expensive medical bills and lifestyle changes. If you sustained any injuries during your Turo car accident, you might have grounds to file a lawsuit.
Can I Sue Turo for Injuries Resulting from an Accident?
Yes, you can sue Turo for injuries resulting from an accident. However, you could only file a claim against Turo if the vehicle was covered by a Turo insurance policy. If the vehicle was covered by a commercial insurance policy provided by the car owner, you would not have grounds to sue Turo rental car company for the injuries that you suffered. Could you sue if a Turo rented car hit you? Could you sue if you were driving the rental car? Whether you were injured by a Turo rental or rented a car through Turo and got into an accident, you could file a lawsuit against Turo—as long as the car was covered by Turo-provided insurance. For more information regarding whether you could file an injury claim against Turo, you must contact our law firm as soon as possible.
Turo’s Million Dollar Insurance Policy
As briefly mentioned above, Turo offers insurance coverage for the vehicles rented through the car-sharing service. Turo’s carries a one million dollar insurance policy that covers the parties injured in auto accidents. All three insurance options—Premium, Standard, and Basic—include $1,000,000 in coverage for liability and $75,000 in coverage for damage sustained by the car. Although your car accident and the injuries you sustained could be covered by Turo’s million dollar insurance policy, it is not guaranteed because this coverage is optional. If the car owner does not opt into an insurance plan, he or she must provide a commercial insurance policy. An outside commercial auto policy might or might not offer one million dollars in coverage.
If the Turo car that was involved in the accident was covered by a Turo insurance policy, you might be interested in filing a claim. To file a claim against Turo, you must do the following:
- Contact Turo to report the accident immediately (within 24 hours of the incident)
- Contact the car-owner to inform them of the accident (the car-owner will also have to contact Turo to report the incident)
- Wait to be contacted by a Turo Claims Department representative (the representative will further explain the process of filing a claim)
Without a doubt, you should contact the police to file an accident report, and you must seek medical attention as soon as possible. You should also contact an attorney. Many people choose to handle their claims without the guidance of an attorney; they often encounter many difficulties with their claims that eventually result in negative claim outcomes. When you contact an attorney to handle your Turo accident claim, you can trust that you will always have someone fighting for your rights. If you would like to discuss your claim with our attorneys, you must contact our firm as soon as possible.
The Value of Your Turo Claim
What is the value of your Turo accident lawsuit? How much can you receive for your accident claim? If a Turo car crashed into you, you might be interested in learning more about how much your car accident claim could be worth. The value of your claim depends on many factors, such as the injuries you sustained and the policy limits that apply to your claim, for example. How do these factors affect the value of your claim? Injuries, for example, affect the value of your claim because every type of injury is associated with a specific value. For example, minor injuries could be worth up to $25,000 and moderate injuries could be worth up to $75,000. As the severity of the injuries suffered increases, the values associated with the injuries also increase. The value of your claim can also be affected by the policy limits that might apply to your claim. A policy limit is a maximum coverage allowed by insurance. For instance, Turo’s one million dollar policy might apply in some cases. The policy has a limit of $1 million; therefore, if an injury claim is worth more than the policy limit, claimants would not be eligible to recover the full value of their claim. In addition to the factors briefly discussed above, there are many other factors that could affect the value of your lawsuit against Turo for an accident.
Below, there are a few sample verdicts and settlements for car accidents:
- $20,000—a head-on car accident left the victim suffering both soft tissue cervical injuries and lumbar injuries.
- $96,000—a head-on car accident resulted in the victim’s severe ankle injury. The injury required hospitalization for treatment and caused a permanent limp.
- $167,000—an accident caused by a distracted driver resulted in the victim’s back injuries, soft tissue knee injuries, and multiple scalp lacerations.
- $928,000—a side-impact accident resulted in the victim suffered an ankle injury.
As you can see in the list above, the value of car accident claims vary. There is no universal value that applies to all car accident claims, including Turo accident lawsuit claims. Before assuming the value of your claim and how much you could recover, you must discuss the details of your Turo claim with a Turo rent-a-car accident lawyer in California. The experienced Turo injury accident lawyers in Los Angeles will help you establish the value of your accident claim.
