A rideshare driver struck a pedestrian while speeding to a pickup location. The pedestrian sustained multiple fractures, including a shattered pelvis, and a traumatic brain injury that required intensive medical care and prolonged rehabilitation. The victim faced significant financial and emotional strain, losing the ability to work during their recovery and needing assistance for daily tasks.

The rideshare company initially denied full responsibility, claiming the driver was off-duty. However, the victim’s attorney presented evidence proving the driver was logged into the app and en route to a ride request, making the rideshare insurance policy applicable. After a trial, a jury awarded the victim $1.5 million to cover medical expenses, loss of future earnings, and emotional suffering.
