Uber and Lyft Accidents

Understanding Rideshare Accident Liability

Determining liability in rideshare accidents can be complex. Depending on the specifics, the rideshare driver, another driver, or even the rideshare company may be held responsible. At Boyadzhyan Law Firm, our experienced attorneys have successfully managed numerous rideshare accident cases. We thoroughly investigate each incident to identify responsible parties and ensure they are held accountable.

Insurance Coverage in Uber and Lyft Accidents

Uber and Lyft provide insurance coverage for their drivers, but the extent of that coverage depends on the driver’s status at the time of the accident—whether they were waiting for a ride request, en route to pick up a passenger, or actively transporting one. Navigating the intricacies of rideshare insurance can be challenging, but at Boyadzhyan Law Firm, we understand these policies inside and out. We will ensure you receive the compensation you’re entitled to, whether through the rideshare company’s insurance, the driver’s insurance, or another liable party.

Steps to Take After an Uber or Lyft Accident

1. Ensure Safety and Seek Medical Attention: Your safety is paramount. After an accident, assess for injuries and seek medical help immediately, even for minor injuries.
2. Document the Accident: Capture photos of the scene, the vehicles involved, and any visible injuries. Collect contact information from witnesses and drivers, and note whether the rideshare app was in use during the incident.
3. Report the Accident: Notify the police and file a report. Also, report the accident through the Uber or Lyft app to ensure an official record with the rideshare company.
