Yes. If the other driver is at fault, you can pursue compensation from their liability policy or from the rideshare company’s coverage. Fault determinations are based on evidence, police reports, and witness accounts. Even if both parties share some fault, you may still recover a portion of your damages under California law.
A police report is helpful but not always required. We still recommend documenting injuries, medical treatment, and witnesses. If you have the report, share it with us; if not, we’ll obtain and review it as part of our case work.
Pedestrians and cyclists can be involved in rideshare accidents.
