Uber, Lyft And
Ridesharing Accidents

Uber, Lyft and Ridesharing Accidents

Uber and Lyft, as well as other ridesharing services, are popular in California and used by millions of passengers. However, if you were injured in an accident involving an Uber or Lyft you may wonder what your rights are, and how you can receive compensation for your injuries. At Blake & Ayaz, we can help you ensure your legal rights are protected and help you receive compensation for your injuries.

DETERMINING RESPONSIBILITY

As in all car accident cases, an investigation must determine who is responsible for the collision. If you were a passenger in an Uber or Lyft, you will not have responsibility for the car accident, but rather need to determine who is responsible for your injuries and losses. Our experienced attorneys can help you determine who is liable in your Uber/Lyft accident. 

Some of the parties responsible could be the following: 

• The other driver. If the other driver is determined to be responsible for the car accident, the process is much clearer, and you will likely be able to receive compensation from that driver’s insurance company.
• The Uber/Lyft driver. The driver may have their own insurance coverage, however, in some cases, insurance companies will not cover Uber/Lyft drivers.
• Ridesharing company. You may be able to file a claim directly with Uber’s insurance policy, as their policy does cover its drivers. Every ridesharing company operates differently with respect to its drivers, and we can help you determine who to file a claim against to receive compensation for your injuries and losses.
