Uber, Lyft and other rideshare accident injury accidents are different than a general car accident case. The insurance rules that cover drivers and passengers are unique to rideshare accidents. Our Los Angeles injury lawyers handle Uber, Lyft and other rideshare injury claims (such as taxi’s, airport buses, limos etc) and we navigate the laws and regulations so you can focus on recovery.
Perhaps you were a passenger in an Uber accident. If you were injured, there may be significant insurance coverage available to you as an injured passenger in an app vehicle. Generally, insurance coverages are defined as Tier 1, Tier 2 or Tire 3, depending upon which stage the driver app is engaged. Our rideshare accident lawyers will handle the insurance coverage issues and handle your case for you in all aspects. Once we accept your case, we work on a No Win, No Fee basis. This means we are not paid unless and until there is a recovery on your behalf.
If you were an Uber, Lyft or Rideshare driver, different rules apply, depending upon where you were in your route. For example the app may have been on and you were available, you may have been en route for a passenger or you may have had a passenger in the car when the accident occurred. Each scenario will trigger different coverages.

Should I represent myself after an Uber or Lyft Accident?
That’s a fair question. The short answer, is that although some car accident claims are simple to handle, there are others requiring extensive litigation skills and a vast knowledge base that only experienced San Diego Uber accident lawyers like Phillips and Pelly are able to handle. Studies have consistently shown that personal injury claims represented by a skilled injury attorney receive much higher compensation than those claimants who choose to represent themselves.
Additionally, after a rideshare accident, you are dealing with an app company. Inexperience likely leads to a poor result.
The Consultation is free, and our no fee until we win guarantee means that our fees are based on a percentage of the amount we recover on your behalf.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen, which is why you are likely reading this website. Experienced attorneys like Oliver Pelly and John Phillips can advise if you are eligible for compensation.
You do have the right to expect to get to your destination safely when you call a rideshare. If that does not happen, the fortunately app companies do carry larger insurance limits.
