Uber & Lyft Accidents

PERSONAL INJURY REPRESENTATION

Helping People Injured in Rideshare Accidents

Uber and Lyft accidents can raise insurance and liability questions that do not always arise in ordinary car accident claims. Coverage may depend on whether the rideshare driver was logged into the app, waiting for a ride, transporting a passenger, or driving for personal reasons.

Hamed Law Firm represents passengers, drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and other motorists injured in accidents involving Uber and Lyft vehicles.

We focus on determining how the collision occurred, identifying the insurance coverage that may apply, documenting the resulting injuries and losses, and pursuing the compensation available under the law.

How We Approach a Rideshare Accident Claim

1. Investigate the Collision

We review crash reports, photographs, witness information, vehicle damage, and other available evidence that may help establish how the accident occurred.

2. Determine the Driver’s Rideshare Status

Whether the driver was offline, available for rides, en route to a passenger, or actively transporting someone can affect which insurance coverage may apply.

3. Identify Available Insurance Coverage

Rideshare cases may involve the driver’s personal insurance, coverage associated with Uber or Lyft, and insurance carried by other motorists involved in the collision.

4. Pursue an Appropriate Resolution

We document the injuries and losses, present the claim to the appropriate insurers, and evaluate further legal action when a fair resolution cannot be reached.

Focused Case Preparation

Rideshare accident claims can involve multiple insurance policies and questions about the driver’s status at the time of the collision. We focus on identifying the applicable coverage, preserving evidence, and presenting the claim clearly and thoroughly.

INSURANCE ANALYSIS

We identify the policies and coverage that may apply based on the circumstances of the rideshare trip.

CAREFUL INVESTIGATION

We review the collision, vehicle information, available records, witness evidence, and other facts that may affect responsibility.

CLIENT-FOCUSED ADVOCACY

We tailor our representation to the circumstances of the accident, the injuries involved, and the client’s individual needs.

What Should I Do After an Uber or Lyft Accident?

Seek appropriate medical attention and report the collision. Preserve screenshots of the ride, trip information, driver details, photographs, witness information, and insurance documents when available.

Which Insurance Company Pays After a Rideshare Accident?

That depends on the circumstances. Coverage may come from the rideshare driver’s personal insurer, insurance associated with Uber or Lyft, another driver’s insurer, or a combination of policies.

What If I Was a Passenger in the Uber or Lyft?

Passengers may have claims depending on how the collision occurred and which driver or party was responsible. Insurance coverage available through the rideshare platform may also be relevant.

Can I Bring a Claim If Another Driver Caused the Accident?

Yes. A rideshare accident can involve claims against another negligent driver as well as questions concerning other available insurance coverage.
