Overview

Rideshare accidents can quickly become complicated, especially when companies like Uber or Lyft and multiple insurance policies are involved. Whether you were a passenger, another driver, a pedestrian, or a cyclist, the aftermath of a rideshare accident can leave you dealing with injuries, medical bills, lost income, and uncertainty about who is responsible.

We investigate the actions of all involved drivers, rideshare companies, and insurers to determine who may be responsible for the crash.

03

We build a clear picture of how the accident has affected our client’s health, work, finances, and daily life — both now and in the future.

Common Questions

About Rideshare Accidents Cases

Does Uber or Lyft provide insurance coverage after an accident?

keyboard_arrow_down
Yes. Both Uber and Lyft carry commercial insurance coverage, but the amount available often depends on whether the driver was logged into the app, on the way to a pickup, or transporting a passenger at the time of the crash.

Can I still bring a claim if I was a passenger?

keyboard_arrow_down
Yes. Injured passengers are rarely at fault and may have claims against the rideshare driver, another driver, or multiple insurance policies depending on how the accident occurred.

What if I was driving for Uber or Lyft when I was injured?

keyboard_arrow_down
Rideshare drivers may have access to company-provided insurance coverage in addition to other available policies, depending on the circumstances of the crash.

Why are rideshare accident cases more complicated than regular car accidents?

keyboard_arrow_down
These cases often involve multiple insurance carriers, corporate policies, app activity records, and questions about when the driver was actively working within the rideshare platform.
