We help with a wide range of rideshare accidents
Injured as a Passenger
If you were a passenger in an Uber, Lyft, or taxi during a crash, you are covered by commercial insurance policies. Partner law firms navigate the claims process to cover your medical bills and other losses.
Hit by a Rideshare Driver
If an Uber or Lyft driver hit your car, bike, or you as a pedestrian, determining which insurance policy applies is critical. Partner attorneys ensure the correct party is held accountable.
Rideshare Driver in an Accident
If you were driving for Uber or Lyft and another driver caused a crash, your options for recovery can be complicated. Partner law firms help you sort through the layers of insurance to protect your rights.
Accidents with a Taxi
Taxi accident claims involve traditional commercial insurance. Partner attorneys have experience holding taxi companies and their drivers responsible for negligence.
Uninsured/Underinsured Drivers
When the at-fault driver in a rideshare accident lacks proper insurance, Uber and Lyft's policies may provide coverage. Partner attorneys explore every avenue for your recovery.
Disputes with Rideshare Companies
Uber and Lyft's insurers often try to minimize payouts. Partner lawyers fight back against their legal teams to ensure you receive a fair settlement for your injuries.
Common types of
Rear-end collisions
These are among the most frequent accidents, often caused by distracted driving. Whether you were a passenger in a Lyft that was rear-ended or your car was struck by an Uber driver, these crashes can cause whiplash and neck injuries. A rear-end collision injury lawyer can prove the other driver’s negligence.
T-bone collisions
A T-bone collision is a side-impact crash that often happens at intersections when a driver runs a red light or stop sign. These broadside crashes can cause severe injuries, especially to passengers sitting on the side of impact. A T-bone crash attorney can investigate to determine who failed to yield.
Head-on car crash
This involves two vehicles crashing front-to-front, often resulting in catastrophic injuries. If your Uber or Lyft was involved in a head-on crash, a collision attorney can help determine fault and pursue maximum compensation for the victims.
Side Impact car crash
Side-impact collisions happen when one vehicle hits the side of another. Because the sides of cars offer less protection, passengers in a rideshare vehicle can suffer serious harm. Partner law firms investigate these crashes to hold the negligent driver accountable.
Multiple vehicle accidents
Multi-vehicle pile-ups involving a rideshare car can make liability incredibly complex. A multi-vehicle accident attorney will analyze the crash to determine each party's liability and ensure injured victims pursue all possible sources of compensation.
Hit-and-run cases
If the at-fault driver flees the scene of an accident involving a rideshare vehicle, victims have options. Compensation may be available through Uber or Lyft's uninsured motorist coverage. A hit-and-run accident lawyer can help navigate these complex claims.

This includes the Uber or Lyft driver if they were at fault, another driver on the road who caused the crash, or even Uber and Lyft themselves if they failed to conduct proper background checks.

If the driver was transporting a passenger or en route to pick one up, Uber or Lyft’s $1 million commercial policy typically applies. If the driver was logged into the app and waiting for a ride request, a lower level of coverage applies. If the driver was offline, their personal auto insurance is responsible. An attorney can determine which policy applies to your case.",
