How Can I Sue Budget For A Rental Car Accident?

Budget may not be responsible a rental car accident if the driver simply acted negligently or dove carelessly or recklessly. The company can only be held accountable if they contributed to the accident in some way. This does not necessarily mean that they were directly involved in the accident. Budget provides some insurance to its customers, but this is mostly to cover damages for the drivers. The most common policy offered is a collision waiver that allows the driver to not pay for any damage to the vehicle. Other options include protection for injuries, accidents, loss of property, hit and run incidents, and more. According to the law, individuals who want to rent vehicles must be older than 21 years old, have their own personal auto insurance coverage, and have a valid driver’s license. There are times, though, when agents feel the need to not ask for proof of these documents and will allow anyone to rent a vehicle. This will place liability on Budget – the individual should not have been on the road, and Budget allowed him to drive, thus leaving them with accountability for any accidents and injuries. Moreover, rental agents at Budget need to make sure that their vehicles are safe and do not pose any danger to drivers and riders. They must inspect the vehicles any time they return from trips. Unfortunately, many agents simply let the vehicles get driven again without checking to see if there were any damages to the internal parts of the vehicle. There have been various reports of tires blowing out, brakes suddenly failing, engines going haywire, and more from customers at Budget. It is the responsibility of the company to ensure that the cars are safe for usage, and if an accident happens during a rental period because of a defect with the vehicle, Budget will be held liable.

Often, clients come to us with questions about the value of their claims because they already have representation and want to know if they are getting the best treatment from their attorneys. We will look over your case for you and tell you if we believe your current lawyer is doing the best possible job he can. Unfortunately, in many situations, attorneys will take on dozens of cases at once and give them as little attention as they can. They will try to secure a small offer from the insurance company and pressure their clients to take the deals. This will allow the lawyer to collect his percentage with next to no negotiation, and will not adequately pay for any of the client’s bills and expenses. We believe that no attorney should act in bad faith when representing his client. We will give you our free second opinion on the status of your case and tell if we think your attorney is doing a good and honest job. We will give you expert advice on the next steps if you wish to switch legal representation.
