How We Build a Strong Rideshare Case
Rideshare accident claims are often more complicated than typical car accident cases. Unlike a crash involving two private drivers, Uber and Lyft accidents can involve multiple insurance policies, questions about the driver’s status, and disputes over which party is financially responsible. Building a successful claim requires a thorough investigation and a clear understanding of how rideshare insurance coverage works.
One of the first steps is determining what the Uber or Lyft driver was doing when the collision occurred. Insurance coverage can vary depending on whether the driver was:
- Off the app: If the driver is off the app when the accident occurs, their insurance policy applies.
- Waiting for a ride request: If the driver is on the app and waiting to be matched with a rider when the accident occurs, either the driver’s insurance policy or the rideshare company’s insurance policy can apply.
- Traveling to pick up a passenger: If the driver is on their way to pick up a passenger, Uber’s or Lyft’s $1 million policy covers any injuries the driver causes.
- Actively transporting someone: If the driver has a passenger in the vehicle, the rideshare company’s $1 million policy covers any injuries.
Our rideshare accident attorneys investigate every aspect of the collision to identify all available sources of compensation. We gather the crash report from the Pasadena Police Department, witness statements, photographs, surveillance footage, rideshare app data, vehicle damage reports, and medical records to build the strongest case possible.
When necessary, we work with accident reconstruction experts and other specialists to establish exactly how the crash occurred and who should be held accountable.
Insurance companies often look for ways to minimize payouts or shift blame after a rideshare accident. At KJT Law Group, our Pasadena Uber and Lyft accident lawyers handle communications and negotiations on your behalf while aggressively pursuing the compensation you deserve. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take your case to trial and advocate for you in court.
What Compensation Is Available in a Rideshare Accident Claim?
If you were injured in an Uber or Lyft accident, you may be entitled to recover compensation for both the financial and personal losses you have suffered. The value of your claim will depend on factors such as the severity of your injuries, the impact they have on your daily life, and the available insurance coverage. We carefully calculate your damages and fight for every dollar you deserve.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be able to recover compensation for:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Property damage
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Rehabilitation and ongoing medical care
- Out-of-pocket expenses related to your injuries
Calculating damages is about more than adding up medical bills. Some injuries require months or even years of treatment, while others may permanently affect your ability to work or enjoy the activities you once loved. Our legal team works to understand the full impact of your injuries so your claim reflects both your current losses and your future needs.
