Seek medical attention promptly and document all injuries. Collect the other driver’s information, police report, and insurance details. Then contact a local injury attorney to review your options. A swift conversation with an attorney can help clarify next steps and protect your rights.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury date. Some cases have shorter or longer deadlines depending on factors like government entities or specific statutes. Consulting an attorney helps ensure you meet any deadlines.
Possible defendants include the rideshare driver, the rideshare company, other involved drivers, or even manufacturers if a vehicle defect contributed. Fault can be shared among multiple parties, which a lawyer can help sort out.
Insurance coverage depends on the phase of the ride (waiting, en route, or completed). Some medical costs may be covered under driver liability or rideshare policies, though out-of-pocket costs or gaps can apply.
Even when a settlement offer is received, an attorney can help evaluate the offer, calculate full damages, and negotiate a better outcome. You won’t be charged unless a recovery is achieved.
Collect medical records, police report, insurance letters, repair estimates, and proof of lost wages. Keeping detailed notes and timelines helps build a strong case.

Fault is assessed by reviewing police reports, witness statements, surveillance footage, driver histories, and insurance policies. A lawyer helps assemble evidence to establish liability.
If the other driver is uninsured, you may seek compensation from the rideshare policy or uninsured/underinsured coverage, if available. An attorney can guide you through available options.
