Rideshare Accidents (Uber & Lyft)

​​

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have changed the way people travel—but they have also created complex legal issues when accidents occur. If you were injured in an Uber or Lyft accident, determining who is responsible and what insurance coverage applies can be far more complicated than a typical car accident case.

At L Wood Law, we understand the unique challenges that rideshare accident claims present. Liability may involve multiple parties, including the rideshare driver, another negligent driver, and the rideshare company’s insurance coverage. Depending on whether the driver was logged into the app, waiting for a ride request, or actively transporting a passenger, different layers of insurance coverage may apply.
Uber and Lyft provide significant insurance policies for their drivers, but accessing those policies often requires navigating aggressive insurance companies and complicated corporate structures. Our firm has the experience to investigate rideshare crashes, determine the applicable insurance coverage, and pursue the full compensation our clients deserve.

If you were injured as a rideshare passenger, rideshare driver, pedestrian, cyclist, or another motorist, you may have the right to recover compensation for:

• Medical expenses

• Future medical care

• Lost wages and loss of earning capacity

• Pain and suffering

• Emotional distress

• Permanent disability

​

Rideshare companies and insurers move quickly to protect their interests after an accident. Having an experienced attorney on your side ensures that your rights are protected and that critical evidence is preserved.
