We help injured victims recover compensation for their medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. If you have been hurt in an Uber or Lyft accident, we will guide you through every step of the process and fight for the justice you deserve.

Understanding Rideshare Accident Liability

Rideshare accidents often involve multiple parties and multiple insurance policies. Determining who is financially responsible depends on what the rideshare driver was doing at the time of the crash:

The driver was not logged into the app: Their personal auto insurance typically applies.
The driver was logged into the app but had no passenger: The rideshare company provides limited coverage (usually for liability only).
The driver was transporting a passenger or en route to pick one up: Uber or Lyft’s commercial insurance policy — often up to $1 million — usually covers injuries and damages.

Our team investigates every detail of your case to identify all possible sources of compensation and ensure no coverage gaps are overlooked.

Common Causes of Rideshare Accidents

Rideshare drivers face unique challenges that increase the risk of accidents.

Some of the most common causes include:

Distracted Driving – Constantly checking GPS or ride requests can take a driver’s attention off the road.
Speeding or Aggressive Driving – Rushing to complete rides or meet time goals can lead to reckless behavior.
Driver Fatigue – Many rideshare drivers work long hours, increasing the risk of drowsy driving.
Unsafe Pickups and Drop-Offs – Stopping in traffic or on busy roads puts passengers and pedestrians at risk.
Poor Vehicle Maintenance – Worn tires or faulty brakes can lead to preventable crashes.
Negligence by Other Drivers – Not all rideshare accidents are caused by the Uber or Lyft driver — other motorists may be at fault too.
