Frequently Asked Questions
Who pays if I am hurt in an Uber or Lyft crash?
It depends on the driver's app status at the time. When a driver is on an active trip, a large rideshare liability policy, often up to one million dollars, can apply.
What if I was a passenger in the rideshare?
Passengers are almost never at fault, and more than one insurance policy may cover your injuries. We identify every source of recovery.
What if a rideshare driver hit me while I was in another car or on foot?
You may have a claim against the driver and, depending on whether the app was on and a trip was active, against the rideshare company's coverage.
How much is a rideshare accident case worth?
It depends on your injuries and losses, with the available rideshare coverage often allowing a fuller recovery when the driver was on an active trip.
Should I just file through the app?
Be careful. The app's insurer aims to limit payouts, so it is wise to speak with a lawyer before giving statements or accepting an offer.
How long do I have to file in California?
Generally two years from the crash, so it is best not to wait, especially while trip records are still available.
What if I was partly at fault?
You can still recover under comparative negligence, with your compensation reduced by your share of fault.
How much does a rideshare accident lawyer cost?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, so you owe no attorney's fees unless we recover, and the consultation is free.
What should I do after a rideshare crash?
Screenshot your trip details, get medical care, photograph the scene, and collect driver and witness information before contacting a lawyer.
Do you handle Uber and Lyft cases statewide?
Yes. We represent injured rideshare passengers, drivers, and others throughout California.
