GoGoGrandparent is a company designed for older adults. It provides transportation services along with other services. Overall, it allows older adults to access services that typically require a smartphone, internet connection or a data plan, and at least some sort of tech know-how. One of the many services that GoGoGrandparent provides is transportation – in which it connects its clients to rideshare companies that provide rides.
Without a doubt, the transportation service is beneficial for those who would not be able to access rideshare services otherwise. However, the transportation services made available through GoGoGrandparent have risen many questions, one of the most important being the following: what if there is an accident?
Our population of the elderly is among the frailest. They can fall when getting out of the vehicle or even while trying to get into the vehicle. Even something that looks like a minor trip can lead to devastating injuries – some of which can even be fatal.

Understanding How GoGoGrandparent Works
One of the most important things to understand regarding GoGoGrandparent is that it is not a transportation provider or a Transportation Network Company (TNC) like a rideshare company. GoGoGrandparent is a company that connects TNC’s and other transportation providers for people looking for transportation; without the services provided by GoGoGrandparent, the elderly would not be able to access the rides. In addition, the company acts as a representative to facilitate the services and ensure quality of services.
According to GoGoGrandparent, the company does “not employ or contract directly with drivers;” they also do not own any vehicles used to transport their clients. They “work with TNC’s… to allow their drivers to pick u and drive passengers.” What does this mean? GoGoGrandparent always provides transportation services through rideshare companies – like Uber or Lyft.
So, how does it work? The client calls the hotline to request the ride. The request is then sent to a rideshare company. Once a driver has been assigned, the GoGoGrandparent representative will communicate directly with the driver to ensure that the vehicle meets a number of requirements (like accessibility, large enough to fit a wheelchair in the trunk, etc.) and that the driver is aware of any potential impairments or equipment that they might need to handle. During the ride, the representative will monitor the trip and intervene as necessary (they set the destination and can change it as well). Upon completion of the ride, the representative sends confirmation to the client’s chosen contacts (something like emergency contacts) and also follows up with the client directly.

Potential Harm Suffered During Rides
Everyone knows that the elderly are more at risk of falls. They can suffer an injury when getting in a vehicle or getting out of a vehicle. They can also suffer injuries in auto accidents during their rides. Even if it seems to be only minor, they could be seriously injured.
Some of the injuries that victims could suffer during rides facilitated through GoGoDaddy include the following:
- Head and brain injuries
- Neck and back injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Fractures
- Pelvic injuries
- Hip injuries
- Joint injuries (like knee injuries, shoulder injuries, etc.)
- Nerve injuries
- Lacerations
- Sprains and strains
- Scrapes and bruises
Did you or a member of your family suffer harm while getting in or out of a vehicle? If so, you might have grounds to file a lawsuit. If you are interested in learning more about the legal options available to you and your family, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm immediately.
GoGoGrandparent Liability
The company’s terms and conditions state the following: “GoGo shall not be liable for…personal injury…related to…any use of [their] services.” Within these terms, there is also a statement that their liability to clients shall not exceed the one-hundred-dollar mark. Without doubt, this makes it seem like there is no way that the company could be liable, but that is not the case. If the company or their representative’s negligent actions directly lead to an incident, they could still have some sort of liability.
It is also important to note that GoGoGrandparent does not carry any sort of insurance. That is, they do not carry any insurance that could cover their clients for any harm suffered during a ride. Why is this? As previously mentioned, GoGoGrandparent facilitates rides through rideshare companies; therefore, it is the rideshare company’s insurance that would apply during any sort of incident during a ride.
If you are interested in learning more about GoGoGrandparent’s potential liability or lack of insurance, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm immediately.
Do you have the right to sue? If you or a member of your family suffered harm during a ride that was provided through the GoGoGrandparent service, you might have grounds to sue. Whether there was a car accident or there was a fall while entering or exiting the vehicle, victims and their families could file injury claims or wrongful death claims. Who can you sue? Although the first thought would be to sue GoGoGrandparent, you could actually sue the rideshare company whether its Uber, Lyft, or another rideshare company.
Based on rideshare insurance, any harm to passengers during an active ride is covered fully by the rideshare company. That is, if there was a hazard near the doorway of the vehicle causing the passenger to fall while getting in or out, if the driver started moving the vehicle before you were completely in or out, or if the driver stopped too far from the curb, etc., the rideshare company could be liable for the incident and sued.
If you are interested in learning more about your right to sue Uber, Lyft, or any other rideshare company for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered while on a GoGoGrandparent ride, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm as soon as possible.
Where to File a Claim
After any sort of rideshare incident that results in injuries, even rideshare rides made available through GoGoGrandparent, incident claims must be filed directly with the rideshare company. After an incident, passengers can file a claim directly through the rideshare app (they can also be filed online on the rideshare company’s website). Of course, those who use companies like GoGoGrandparent will not be able to file the claim on their own directly with the rideshare company. According to GoGoGrandparent, they can continue representing the client to file the claim with the rideshare company and keep clients informed every step of the way. Although this might seem like a good option, it would be better to get legal assistance immediately for help filing a claim against the rideshare company.
How to File an Injury Claim against the Rideshare Company
After a rideshare accident, victims and their families should do the following:
- Take photos of all injuries
- Take photos of the entire scene of the incident (including all property damage)
- Seek medical care for injuries immediately
- File an incident report with the local authorities (if there was an auto accident)
- File an incident report with the rideshare company
- Speak to all witnesses and collect contact information
- Collect insurance information
- Gather video footage that captured the incident
- Collect all relevant medical records
- Collect all relevant records of lost wages
- Collect all relevant records of property damage
- Seek legal assistance as soon as possible
Your Right to Recover Compensation
If you decide to file a claim for the harm resulting from the incident, you could be eligible to recover monetary compensation. What could you recover? How much compensation could you receive? The specific type and amount of compensation that claimants could receive is strictly based on the details surrounding the claim but could include some of the following: medical costs (including past and projected costs), lost wages, pain and suffering, funeral and burial expenses, loss of consortium, property damage, punitive damages, and legal expenses.
