Why You Need an Uber or Lyft Accident Attorney

Rideshare accident cases can be more complicated than typical car accidents. Multiple insurance policies may apply, including those of the rideshare company, the driver, and other involved motorists. Without an experienced lawyer, you may struggle to understand which insurer is responsible, or risk accepting a settlement that doesn’t cover your true losses.

When you hire The Walsh Firm, Ltd., you gain a team that will:

  • Investigate the rideshare accident to determine liability and identify all available insurance coverage
  • Collect key evidence such as trip data, driver logs, and witness statements
  • Handle communications with Uber, Lyft, and their insurance carriers
  • Work with experts to assess your injuries, damages, and future care needs
  • Pursue litigation if insurers refuse to make a fair offer

Our firm ensures you’re not left navigating corporate insurance tactics alone.

Common Causes of Rideshare Accidents

Uber and Lyft drivers face constant distractions, from navigation apps to passenger pickups. Unfortunately, that can lead to dangerous conditions on the road. We handle cases involving:

  • Distracted driving (texting, app usage, GPS navigation)
  • Fatigued or overworked drivers
  • Speeding or reckless driving to meet ride quotas
  • Failure to yield or unsafe lane changes
  • Driving under the influence
  • Poor vehicle maintenance or mechanical failures

No matter how your accident occurred, our firm has the experience to uncover the truth and hold negligent parties accountable.

Who May Be Liable in a Rideshare Accident?

Determining fault in an Uber or Lyft accident depends on what stage of the ride the driver was in:

  • App off: The driver’s personal insurance applies.
  • App on, waiting for a ride request: Uber or Lyft provides limited liability coverage.
  • Ride accepted or in progress: The company’s full commercial policy (up to $1 million) is in effect.

We’ll analyze all factors to ensure you pursue compensation from every available source.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

If you’ve been injured in a rideshare accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses and rehabilitation
  • Lost wages or loss of future earning capacity
  • Vehicle damage or personal property loss
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

Our team carefully evaluates every aspect of your case to ensure insurers don’t undervalue your claim.
