Rideshare Accidents

Who’s Liable in a Rideshare Accident?

One of the trickiest parts of a rideshare injury case is figuring out who’s responsible. Unlike traditional car accidents, these cases may involve multiple parties and overlapping insurance coverage:

• The rideshare driver (if they were at fault)
• The other driver (if you were in a rideshare as a passenger)
• Uber or Lyft’s corporate insurance (which may apply depending on the app status)
• Third parties, like vehicle manufacturers or municipalities with unsafe roads

We work quickly to identify the liable parties, preserve evidence (including app logs), and build a strong case on your behalf.

We Represent All Types of Rideshare Injury Victims

Whether you were a rider, another driver, or just walking across the street, we can help. We represent:

• Passengers injured during an Uber or Lyft ride
• Drivers struck by a rideshare vehicle
• Pedestrians hit by a distracted or speeding Uber/Lyft driver
• Bicyclists involved in rideshare collisions
• Rideshare drivers injured while on the job

If the driver was “on the clock” with the app at the time of the crash, different insurance coverage may apply — and we know how to sort it out.

Common Rideshare Accident Injuries

Just like traditional car accidents, rideshare crashes can cause serious harm — and the injuries may not be obvious right away.

We’ve helped rideshare accident victims recover from:

• Neck and back injuries (whiplash, herniated discs)
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Broken bones and fractures
• Soft tissue and joint damage
• Internal injuries
• Anxiety and PTSD following the crash

Don’t assume the insurance company will do the right thing — especially when the lines of liability are blurred. Call us before you sign anything.

What Damages Can You Recover?

If you’ve been injured in a rideshare accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses (ER visits, rehab, future care)
• Lost income and reduced earning potential
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage
• Transportation or caregiver costs
• Permanent impairment or disability

Uber and Lyft both carry up to $1 million in liability coverage — but accessing it is another story. That’s where we come in.
