Uber & Lyft Accidents

UBER & LYFT ACCIDENT LAWYERS

Injured in a Rideshare Accident? We’ll Help You Navigate It.

If you were hurt in an accident involving an Uber or Lyft — whether as a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian — you’re likely dealing with confusing insurance questions, multiple companies, and no clear path forward.


We help untangle all of it.



With more than 40 years of experience handling complex accident claims, we know how to build cases involving rideshare companies. These aren’t typical car accidents — and you shouldn’t try to handle them alone.

Who We Represent

We handle injury claims involving:

  • Uber or Lyft passengers injured during a ride
  • Drivers hit by a rideshare vehicle
  • Rideshare drivers injured while working
  • Pedestrians or cyclists struck by rideshare drivers
  • Wrongful death claims involving Uber/Lyft vehicles

Why Rideshare Cases Are Unique

Rideshare companies use a layered insurance model, and who’s responsible depends on what the driver was doing at the time:

What Compensation May Include

  • Medical treatment and follow-up care
  • Lost wages and reduced future income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Long-term care for serious injuries
  • Wrongful death-related expenses
  • Out-of-pocket costs & property damage

What to Do After a Rideshare Crash

  1. Call 911 and get medical help
  2. Take screenshots of your ride details (if you were a passenger)
  3. Get driver names, license plates, and insurance info
  4. Don’t discuss the accident with Uber/Lyft or give a recorded statement
  5. Contact a lawyer who understands how rideshare claims work

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who pays for my injuries after an Uber or Lyft crash?

    It depends on who caused the crash and what the driver was doing. If they were actively working (picking someone up or mid-ride), Uber or Lyft’s $1M policy may apply. If not, their personal insurance could be responsible.

  • Can I sue Uber or Lyft directly?

    Not usually. Drivers are considered independent contractors, not employees — but we can still pursue compensation through the insurance they’re required to carry.

  • What if the rideshare driver was at fault?

    If they were logged into the app and working, we can often pursue a claim through Uber or Lyft’s insurance. These companies will fight it — but we know how to push back.

  • What if another driver caused the crash while I was in an Uber or Lyft?

    We can still help. In many cases, multiple insurance policies may apply — and we’ll help determine which ones can be used.

  • How much does it cost to hire your firm?

    Nothing up front. We only get paid if we recover money for you.

Why It Matters

Rideshare accidents are more common than people realize — and the insurance side is anything but simple. These companies are built to protect themselves, not to help you.



We’ve handled complex injury claims for decades, and we know how to deal with large insurers and their legal teams. We fight for the full value of your claim — not just what they offer.
