Rideshare Accidents: What to Do If You’re Injured in an Uber or Lyft Crash

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have revolutionized transportation, but accidents involving these vehicles raise complex legal issues. Unlike traditional car accidents, insurance policies and liability disputes can complicate claims. At Hayes Law Firm, we help victims of rideshare accidents navigate these challenges and secure compensation.

Who is Liable in a Rideshare Accident?

Determining liability in a Uber or Lyft accident can be tricky. Possible liable parties include:

• The Rideshare Driver – If the driver was negligent (speeding, distracted driving, etc.).
• Uber/Lyft’s Insurance Provider – If the driver was actively transporting a passenger.
• Another Driver – If another motorist caused the crash.
• Vehicle Manufacturer – If a defective vehicle part played a role.

Challenges in Rideshare Accident Cases

• Multiple Insurance Policies – Uber/Lyft have commercial policies, but drivers also have personal insurance.
• Disputes Over Liability – Companies may deny claims, arguing the driver was an independent contractor.
• Injury Severity – Serious injuries require extensive medical treatment and legal action.

How Hayes Law Firm Protects Rideshare Accident Victims

• Determining fault – Investigating the accident and gathering evidence.
• Negotiating with insurers – Holding Uber/Lyft accountable for their coverage.
• Seeking maximum compensation – Covering medical bills, lost wages, and long-term care.
