Who We Help After an Uber or Lyft Accident

Rideshare Passengers

If you were hurt during an Uber or Lyft trip, your trip receipt and information in the app can help identify the ride and driver. Tell us whether the collision involved your rideshare vehicle, another vehicle, or an incident during pickup or drop-off. We can review the available records and discuss your injury claim. Read more about being injured as a passenger.

Uber and Lyft Drivers

If you were driving, let us know whether you were waiting for a request, heading to pick up a passenger, or carrying a passenger when the crash happened. We can review your account of the collision, insurance correspondence and available trip information. The circumstances and applicable policies matter when evaluating a claim.

People in Other Vehicles and Pedestrians

You do not have to be an Uber or Lyft customer to contact us about a crash involving a rideshare vehicle. We also help injured people in other vehicles and pedestrians. Our car accident and pedestrian accident pages explain those services.

Why the Driver’s Trip Status Matters

California’s rideshare insurance requirements distinguish between a driver waiting for a match, traveling to pick up a passenger after accepting a request, and transporting a passenger. The insurance requirements differ across these stages. See the California Public Utilities Commission’s insurance requirements.

For your consultation, share any trip receipt, screenshots or messages that help establish the timeline. Our team can discuss what additional records may be needed. The presence of insurance does not establish who caused the accident or guarantee a particular recovery.

Information to Bring to Your Consultation

Bring what you have available:

• The date, time and location of the crash.
• Your Uber or Lyft trip receipt and relevant app screenshots.
• Driver, vehicle and insurance information.
• Photos, witness contact details and any report number.
• Records of treatment, expenses and time missed from work.
• Messages or letters from an insurer or rideshare company.

You can contact us even if you do not have all of these records. We can discuss your questions and the information available so far.

Common Causes of Rideshare Accidents

Discussing the Impact of Your Injuries

During a consultation, tell us how the accident has affected your daily life, treatment needs and ability to work. Bring any records of medical expenses, missed work and communications about your injuries. We can review those details when discussing your claim.

No two cases are identical. The available evidence and circumstances matter when evaluating a potential recovery.

Questions About Uber and Lyft Injury Claims

Do I need to know which insurance company applies before calling?

No. You can contact us with the information you have. Tell us what happened, your role in the accident and whether you have received any insurance correspondence. We can discuss the questions that need further investigation.

Can I contact you if another driver hit my Uber or Lyft?

Yes. Tell us about both vehicles and share any trip information or accident records you have. We can review the circumstances and discuss how our team may help.

What if I do not have a police report yet?

You can still request a consultation. Share the date and location of the accident, any report number you have, and other available records.
