Who Is Liable For Your Injuries?

In a rideshare accident, there are more parties involved than just the drivers and passengers. The rideshare employer may be liable for the accident. You may need to go through their extensive legal team and insurance company to earn the money you need. As your legal representation, we can help you hold them accountable for your injuries by building the custom-tailored representation plan you deserve and taking actions such as reviewing the police crash report, collecting photo and video evidence, interviewing witnesses, consulting with expert witnesses, gathering medical records and reports, and retrieving digital information from the vehicles in the accident. Once we have the information necessary, we will negotiate on your behalf to resolve things in a swift and effective manner. If negotiations cannot provide you with the outcome you need, we are prepared to fight for you through litigation. We are not a law firm that backs down from a challenge or settles for less on behalf of our clients.

How Does Insurance Work In A Texas Rideshare Accident Case?

Insurance coverage for a rideshare accident differs from that for a standard car accident because more than one policy may apply. Coverage usually depends on whether:

The Uber or Lyft driver was off duty
Logged into the app
Waiting for a ride request
Driving to pick up a passenger
Actively transporting a passenger

If the driver was not logged into the rideshare app, the driver’s personal auto policy usually applies. If the driver was logged in but had not accepted a ride, limited rideshare coverage may apply.

If the driver had accepted a ride or had a passenger in the vehicle, higher commercial coverage may be available for injuries, property damage and related losses. We review the app status and available evidence to determine which policy should respond.

What Should You Do If You Are Involved In An Accident With An Uber Or Lyft Driver?

After a crash involving an Uber or Lyft driver, you should treat the situation like a serious injury claim from the start. You should:

Call 911.
Make sure a police report is created.
Get the driver’s name, license plate, insurance details and rideshare app status.
Take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, traffic signals, visible injuries and the accident scene.
Screenshot your ride receipt, trip route, driver profile and any app messages.
Collect names and contact details for witnesses.
Seek medical care as soon as possible, even if symptoms seem minor.

Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters before speaking with us. Early statements can be used to dispute your injuries or limit payment. Our attorney can help protect your rights, handle communications with insurers and work to secure the full compensation you may be entitled to.

What Should You Do If You Were Injured As A Passenger Of A Rideshare Vehicle In Texas?

If you were injured as an Uber or Lyft passenger, you may have a case. Passengers are rarely blamed for causing the crash, but you still need to prove how the accident happened, which driver was responsible and what injuries and losses resulted.

Your claim may involve:

The rideshare driver’s coverage
Uber or Lyft’s commercial policy
Another driver’s insurance
Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage

We help identify every available source of recovery and protect you from being pushed between insurers. After the crash, report the incident through the app, get medical treatment, save your trip receipt and contact us before accepting any settlement.
