Rideshare cases involve driver and rideshare company insurance, plus potential third-party liability. Liability rules in California can depend on app status and fault, so understanding coverage is essential.
Our team explains your rights and helps you pursue medical care, lost income, property damage, and pain and suffering through appropriate claims.
A rideshare accident is a crash involving an Uber or Lyft driver while using the app, or during the transition between app states. We help you translate this into a clear claim under California law.

Common terms you may encounter when pursuing a rideshare claim in California.
Insurance that may apply from the driver’s policy and the rideshare company’s policy, depending on the app status and who is at fault.
California uses comparative negligence. Your recovery may be reduced by your share of fault if you contributed to the crash.
Medical bills, therapy, and related costs from the accident, including ongoing care.
Past and future income you lose due to injuries and time away from work.
Options include settling with insurers, filing a personal injury claim, or pursuing a lawsuit. The right path depends on fault, damages, and the strength of evidence.
If fault is clear and injuries are straightforward, a timely settlement through negotiation can be appropriate.

A broad approach helps ensure medical expenses, wage loss, and pain and suffering are fully accounted for.
A full review of policies and liable parties reduces the risk of missing compensation.

Our team will explain the next steps, help you preserve evidence, and begin building a plan to pursue full compensation for medical expenses, wage loss, and other damages.
Medical bills can be paid through various sources, including the at fault party’s liability coverage, your own health insurance, and in some cases the rideshare company policies.
