A crash on AL‑59 or the Foley Beach Express can halt a typical day without warning. You deserve a calm voice and a roadmap. Families around Downtown Foley and Gulf Shores Parkway trust Caldwell Wenzel & Asthana Injury Lawyers for local insight and straight answers. From the Foley Railroad Museum and Model Train Exhibit to weekend traffic at OWA Parks & Resort, we understand how small mistakes can lead to serious injuries and how to build claims that carriers respect.

Our approach starts with facts. We verify app status, open claims with all possible carriers, and send preservation letters so ride data and nearby video are not lost.

A focused start sets the tone for the result you need.

What We Do for Foley Residents

We tailor the workup to your role in the ride and your injuries, then move quickly on the steps that matter most.

• Open claims with the driver’s personal policy and any Uber or Lyft coverage that applies based on app status.
  
• Gather police reports, dispatch audio when available, scene photos, and nearby business footage.
  
• Map the crash using speed, sightlines, and signal timing. When helpful, download the airbag control module data.
  
• Coordinate medical records, resolve billing issues, and protect your health coverage rights.
  
• Prepare yourself for recorded statements so your account is organized and confident.

What You Should Know After an Accident in Foley

Who pays after an Uber or Lyft crash? Coverage changes with app status. If the app is off, the driver’s personal policy is primary. If the app is on without a ride, limited platform coverage may apply. If a ride is accepted, higher limits can be in play. We verify status quickly to prevent delays.

How do I get to appointments without a car? Keep discharge papers, photos, and the rideshare receipt. Avoid posting about the crash. For county bus connections, see the Baldwin Regional Area Transit System (BRATS). Call us to start preservation and confirm the correct carriers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a rideshare injury claim in Foley

Alabama law sets strict timelines for personal injury claims. Many claims must be filed within two years, with shorter notice rules in some situations. Contact a lawyer promptly so evidence is preserved and the calendar is managed while you focus on recovery.

I was a passenger when my Uber was rear-ended near Downtown Foley. Whose insurance applies

We open claims with the at‑fault driver’s insurer and evaluate rideshare platform coverage based on app status. We also review medical payments, health insurance liens, and uninsured motorist coverage, ensuring that all benefits are accounted for and coordinated.

The rideshare driver’s app was on, but no ride was accepted. Are limits different

Yes. When a driver is available but has not accepted a ride, platform coverage may be lower than when a trip is accepted. We verify timestamps, GPS, and trip logs to confirm which policy applies and prevent finger-pointing from slowing down your claim.

What if the other driver left the scene or had no insurance near Bon Secour

We explore uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage and any applicable platform protections. We also check nearby cameras and vehicle data to help identify the driver when possible. Quick action increases the likelihood that footage and witnesses can be identified.

Will I have to go to court?

Many claims resolve without a trial. If a lawsuit is necessary, we prepare you for each step and keep you informed about schedules. When testimony is required, we practice key points so you feel ready and supported.
