California Uber & Lyft Accident Lawyer

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are everywhere in California, and so are the accidents that involve them. Whether you were a passenger, another driver, a pedestrian, or the rideshare driver yourself, these claims are uniquely complicated. Coverage depends on what the app was doing at the moment of the crash.

Uber and Lyft both carry up to $1 million in liability coverage when a driver is transporting a passenger, but the companies and their insurers work hard to limit payouts. We determine exactly which policies apply and pursue every available source of compensation for your injuries.

Common Rideshare Accident Scenarios

• Crashes caused by a negligent Uber or Lyft driver
• Injuries to rideshare passengers
• Collisions caused by a third-party driver
• Rideshare drivers injured on the job
• Distracted driving while using the rideshare app
• Pick-up and drop-off collisions with pedestrians

Compensation You May Recover

If another party's negligence caused your injury, California law may entitle you to recover compensation for:

• Past and future medical expenses
• Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
• Property damage, including your vehicle
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• Rehabilitation and in-home care costs
• Loss of enjoyment of life

California's Deadline to File

In most California personal injury cases you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Claims involving a government entity may have a deadline as short as six months. Evidence also fades quickly, so the sooner you contact an attorney, the stronger your case will be.
