A rideshare injury claim seeks compensation for injuries sustained in an accident involving a rideshare driver, whether the driver is on-duty or not, depending on insurance coverage and fault.
In Glendale, success typically hinges on establishing fault, documenting injuries, securing medical records, and negotiating with insurers, followed by resolution through settlement or, if needed, litigation.
This glossary explains common terms you’ll encounter in a rideshare injury claim and how they apply to your case.
A driver who provides rides through Uber or Lyft, typically while using a rideshare app.
Liability coverage from another party involved in the crash, often pursued when the rideshare driver is at fault or the insurer of the other vehicle is responsible.
A legal principle that allows a portion of fault to be assigned to each party, which can reduce your recovery if you share some responsibility for the crash.
Insurance coverage that pays for medical bills after a crash, up to policy limits, regardless of fault.
Options include pursuing an insurance claim, negotiating a settlement, or filing a personal injury lawsuit. Each path has different timelines, costs, and potential outcomes.
