Attorney Charlie Gustin Holds For-Profit Rideshare Drivers Accountable for Causing Severe Injuries

Gustin Law Firm has been honored by TopVerdict.com after securing last year’s #1 top settlement against a rideshare driver in Texas. This case involved a group of young friends riding together to a wedding in Houston when a careless rideshare driver ran a stop sign. The Gustin Law Firm clients suffered serious injuries due to the for-profit driver’s negligence, including one young woman who was recommended a complex lumbar spine surgery.

“Several years ago, rideshare companies like Lyft, Uber, Via, Curb and Waymo lobbied for changes in Texas law so they can dodge responsibility when their for-profit drivers hurt innocent Texans. Now it is even more difficult for rideshare victims to recover their past and future medical bills, lost earnings, physical impairment and mental anguish,” said Charlie Gustin, managing partner of Gustin Law Firm. “Despite these new laws that favor the rideshare companies, our firm consistently delivers the best results for our clients. We are proud to have achieved the highest rideshare settlement in the entire state of Texas last year.”
