California Uber & Lyft Accident Lawyers

Rideshare crashes come with confusing insurance rules. We know how to access the right coverage and get you paid.

Rideshare crashes are common, but the insurance behind them is anything but simple. Whether you were a passenger, another driver, a pedestrian, or the rideshare driver, an Uber and Lyft accident lawyer can cut through the confusion and pursue the full compensation available.

At Car Accident Lawyer USA, we handle rideshare injury claims across California, and you pay nothing unless we win.

Why Rideshare Claims Are Complicated

Uber and Lyft provide different levels of insurance depending on what the driver was doing at the moment of the crash:

  • App off: only the driver’s personal insurance applies.
  • App on, waiting for a ride: limited coverage from the rideshare company.
  • On the way to a pickup or during a trip: a large commercial policy typically applies, often up to one million dollars.

Knowing which phase applies, and proving it, is where cases are won or lost. We obtain the app records and trip data to establish the coverage that applies to you.

We help injured passengers, occupants of other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and rideshare drivers themselves. Each has different rights, and we tailor the claim to your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who pays if I am hurt in an Uber or Lyft?
It depends on what the driver was doing at the time. When a rideshare driver is carrying a passenger or on the way to a pickup, a large commercial insurance policy usually applies. We identify every policy that may cover your injuries.
Can I sue if I was the Uber or Lyft passenger?
Yes. As a passenger you are almost never at fault, and you may have a claim against the rideshare driver, another driver, or both. Rideshare companies carry substantial coverage for passengers.
What if my own car was hit by a rideshare driver?
You may still be covered by the rideshare company's insurance, depending on the driver's status in the app at the time. We investigate to find the coverage that applies.
