Call a rideshare accident lawyer. At LA Uber Accident Lawyers, we’ll guide you through your legal options and protect your rights.
- Focus on medical care first — even a “minor bump” can cause serious injuries.
- Call the police and insist on a report.
- Document the scene: photos, witness info, and driver details.
- Contact a rideshare accident attorney immediately to help secure compensation.
- Uber and Lyft have a history of limiting support for their drivers.
- Recent California laws (like AB 5) affect driver classification and compensation rights.
- Because these laws are evolving, it’s important to speak with a lawyer right away.
- Our team knows how to fight for injured drivers and hold Uber and Lyft accountable.
Yes. Many accident injuries don’t appear until hours or days later.
- Prompt medical care protects your health.
- It also creates a medical record, which is essential evidence for your case.
Delaying treatment can both worsen your injuries and hurt your claim.
Insurance depends on the driver’s status at the time of the accident:
- Offline (not logged in): Only the driver’s personal auto policy applies.
- Period 1 (logged in, no ride accepted): $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident for injuries, $30,000 property damage, plus $200,000 additional liability coverage.
- Periods 2 & 3 (ride accepted or passenger in car): $1 million liability coverage and $1 million uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
Even with these policies, Uber and Lyft often deny or minimize claims. That’s why having an attorney is critical.
- Uber and Lyft long claimed their drivers were “independent contractors,” making lawsuits difficult.
- California’s AB 5 law changed that, and legal challenges are ongoing.
- Depending on the facts of your case, you may have a direct claim against the rideshare company.
Our attorneys stay on top of these developments to build the strongest case possible.
Accident victims may be entitled to:
- Economic damages: Medical bills, lost income, loss of earning capacity, property damage.
- Non-economic damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life.
- In rare cases, punitive damages for extreme negligence or reckless conduct.
California does not cap personal injury damages, but compensation can be reduced if you share fault.
- Standard deadline: 2 years from the accident date.
Government vehicle involved: Only 6 months to file.
Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your claim, so contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
