Rideshare Accident Attorney
Injured in an Uber or Lyft accident? Rideshare cases involve multiple layers of insurance coverage that can be difficult to navigate. Baghikian Law helps accident victims identify all available coverage and pursue full compensation.
Common Circumstances
- Distracted driving by a rideshare driver using the app
- Passenger pickup and drop-off in unsafe locations or moving traffic
- Driver fatigue during extended rideshare shifts
- A third-party driver striking a rideshare vehicle
- Vehicle defects in the rideshare driver's car
Common Injuries
- Whiplash, neck, and back injuries from rear-end and sideswipe impacts
- Head and traumatic brain injuries
- Broken bones and soft-tissue injuries
- Internal injuries in higher-speed crashes
How We Build Your Case
- Determining the phase of the rideshare trip to identify which insurance layer applies
- Preserving the ride receipt, route data, and app screenshots
- Obtaining the rideshare company's incident report
- Documenting all medical care and lost income from the date of injury
- Identifying third-party drivers if applicable
Damages That May Be Available
- Medical expenses, including emergency care and rehabilitation
- Lost wages during recovery
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage
What to Know About Insurance Companies
Insurance adjusters represent the insurer's interests, not yours. They may contact you quickly after an incident to obtain statements or offer a fast settlement that does not reflect the full value of your claim. Common tactics include:
- Arguing the driver was not in an active trip period to limit coverage
- Disputing which insurance period applies to shift the loss to lower-limit coverage
- Offering quick settlements before the full injury picture is known
- Disputing causation by claiming you had a pre-existing condition
You are not required to speak with the other party's insurer without representation. Consulting an attorney before accepting any offer or giving any recorded statement is strongly advisable.
