In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of injury. Some exceptions apply, so it’s important to consult with an attorney quickly. If a claim involves a government entity, special notice requirements may apply.
If the other driver is not insured, you may still have a path to compensation through uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage or the rideshare company’s insurance. An attorney can help evaluate options. All coverage depends on ride status and the policies in play.
Collect the other party’s name, contact and insurance details, vehicle information, location, time, and a brief description of damages. If possible, take photos and get witness contacts. Keep copies of medical records, crash reports, and any repair receipts for your claim.
Most rideshare cases settle without a trial, but some do go to court if a fair settlement can’t be reached. Your lawyer can explain options and prepare for either path. You deserve clear guidance and steady support throughout the process.
Fault in rideshare crashes is determined by evidence such as police reports, driver statements, and scene photos. Insurance coverage can shift based on whether the ride is on or off the platform.

Most personal injury cases work on a contingency basis, meaning you don’t pay upfront fees. You typically pay from the settlement or judgment awarded, so there is no cost unless you win.
