First steps after a rideshare crash are to seek medical attention, call the police to file a report, and collect evidence such as names, contact information, and photographs. When safe, document the scene and contact your insurer as required. In the days after, consult with a rideshare injury attorney to review your rights and options.
Fault in Uber/Lyft crashes is determined by police reports, insurance policies, and the circumstances of the crash. A lawyer helps gather evidence, review driver records, and negotiate with insurers to establish liability.
Medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages are typically recoverable as economic damages. Depending on coverage, you may also recover non-economic damages for pain and suffering. We help you document and pursue these losses.
No, you generally are not required to hire a lawyer, but a rideshare injury attorney can help maximize your recovery, protect your rights, and handle communications with insurance companies.
Case timelines vary by complexity and jurisdiction. Some settle within a few months, while others take a year or more, especially if disputed liability or extensive medical treatment is involved.
Most cases settle, but some do go to court if a fair agreement cannot be reached. A lawyer can prepare for trial and advocate for your best interests.
Rideshare platforms maintain insurance coverage for riders and drivers. Settlements involve negotiations between you, the insurer, and sometimes the platform, with your attorney guiding the process.
If you were a passenger, you may have different claim options than if you were driving. Your rights depend on who was at fault and your damages.
California follows comparative fault rules. You can still recover a portion of your damages if you bear some fault, though the recovery may be reduced.
Contingency fees mean you pay nothing upfront. If we recover funds for you, a percentage of the recovery is paid to the attorney, with the rest to you.
