Liability in California depends on who was at fault and which insurance applies. The driver’s policy, the rideshare company’s coverage, or both may be involved during different phases of the trip. We review the facts to identify the responsible party.
After a rideshare crash, coverage can come from the driver’s personal policy when the app isn’t active, from the rideshare company’s primary policy when the app is on, or from uninsured/underinsured motorist protections. We sort through the options to determine which policy should pay.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury. There are exceptions for government claims and other special circumstances. Starting early helps preserve evidence and strengthens your case.
Bring details of the crash, medical records, police report, insurance information, witness contacts, and any photos or videos. Having information ready helps us evaluate and move the case efficiently.
