Rideshare Accident Cases
Overview
Uber and Lyft are Transportation Network Companies, or TNCs. These businesses have revolutionized the carpooling/ride-sharing industry, conveniently giving users a means of private transportation while simultaneously decreasing rate’s of driving under the influence. However, these relatively inexpensive ride-sharing options come with implicit complications; what happens if your driver gets in an accident ? What happens if you are injured riding in an Uber/Lyft ? If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident with an Uber/Lyft driver, as a passenger, pedestrian, or even a third party driver, you may have questions about the future. We are here to help.
Liability Policies
- Uber’s drivers are legally classified as independent contractors rather than employees of the company. This nuance allows Uber to effectively deflect liability for any injuries sustained by their users in an accident.
- Passengers of Uber are insured with $1 million in commercial liability insurance per ride.
- Due to the fact that these TNC’s are notoriously difficult to communicate with, this process may be frustrating for passengers to navigate alone. At our firm, we have the knowledge, resources, and systems in place to communicate directly with these large companies.
- Injured motorists, cyclists, etc. may also be entitled to substantial compensation for their damages/injuries. The driver’s insurance policy may still merit recovered compensation per Uber’s excess policy.

Common Questions for
Rideshare Accidents:
We understand that you may have questions about your specific situation, such as :
- Who fills the gap if the damages exceed the driver’s insurance policy?
- Would policy coverage be ineffective in cases of driving a commercial vehicle?
Ultimately, we are committed to securing maximum compensation for your damages. It is highly discouraged to attempt to handle your claim on your own, as these billion-dollar companies may attempt to make you settle for less. We will not back down; aggressive pursuit of compensation from the at-fault party is guaranteed. Focus on recovery and let us do the heavy lifting.

FAQs
Here to Serve You
Insurance companies are notorious for taking advantage of injured parties after an accident. The average person is not well versed in the law, and insurance companies use this to their advantage to not pay the full value of a claim. Powerful legal representation is needed to make sure you receive maximum compensation for your injuries. If you have been injured in an accident, we encourage you to contact us, so you can be compensated fully for your injuries. Call the LawFellas 24/7 at (844) 4-CAFIRM for a free consultation.
As personal injury attorneys, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means that if we don’t win your case, YOU DON’T PAY! If we do win your case and obtain a settlement, we then collect a percentage of that settlement to cover our fees and costs. There is absolutely no risk or upfront cost to you when hiring us as your attorney.
Many clients often have already begun the claims process with the insurance company and find themselves either stressed and overwhelmed with the process or unable to pay out of pocket for their medical treatment. This is when they look into retaining our firm to assist them with the process. Our office works with cases at any stage of the claims process. Once retained, we will immediately inform the insurance companies to direct all further communication to our firm, so you can focus on the main priority, recovering from your injuries and getting the appropriate treatment.
Insurance companies don’t share the same interest as you. Their goal is to pay the least amount of money on your injury claim. An attorney will be able to provide you with an unbiased opinion of your case and see if pursuing legal action is warranted. LawFellas provides free consultations to evaluate your personal injury claim.
At LawFellas, we handle small cases such as soft tissue injuries/ whiplash to medium and large cases such as catastrophic injuries and wrongful death. We provide free consultations to review any case, small or large.
No! LawFellas does not charge for consultations. Please call us at (844) 4-CAFIRM to discuss your case.
