If you are injured in a rideshare accident, prioritize your health by seeking immediate medical attention, even if injuries seem minor at first. Collect videos and photos of the scene, contact information of anyone involved, and the license and insurance information of the other driver. Call the police for medical attention, a police report for your claim, and assistance securing the scene. Finally, report the accident to your insurance and contact us for further guidance.

Liability in a rideshare accident can be complex, involving multiple parties. The rideshare driver, other drivers involved, or even the rideshare company might bear some responsibility. Every case has unique factors, and we can review them to confirm who is at fault and what we can do to file a personal injury claim against them.

Insurance coverage in rideshare accidents involves both the rideshare company’s policy and the driver’s personal insurance. Most rideshare companies have insurance policies that pay out based on factors like if you were injured as a passenger, if the driver was waiting for a ride request or other factors. We can review the relevant policies in place to confirm who is responsible for paying for your damages from the accident.

Suing a rideshare company like Uber or Lyft can be challenging due to their classification of drivers as independent contractors, which limits the company’s liability. There are some situations where the company is liable, like if they failed to maintain safe working conditions or knowingly hired a reckless driver. We can review your claim and confirm who is liable.
