Uber and Lyft Accident Attorney in Sacramento
More than 1/3 of Americans use ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft. This number has been rising yearly and will probably continue to increase.
What happens if you’re in an accident while using a ridesharing service? Who is responsible for any injuries and medical treatment? Ridesharing has created a bit of a gray area when it comes to insurance and responsibility.
If you are a passenger in a rideshare accident, you should contact a Uber and Lyft accident attorney in Sacramento to help you figure out who is responsible and how to proceed.
What to Do After a Rideshare Accident
If you have been in an accident while riding in an Uber or Lyft, you should do the following:
1. Make a note of the names of the people involved, such as both drivers (especially yours), other passengers, etc. Get their contact and insurance information.
2. Get the information for any witnesses to the accident.
3. Take pictures of the car or cars involved, the accident scene, your injuries, etc. Make a note of any other relevant information, such as the exact location of the accident, weather conditions, any hazards, and any other important notes about the accident (such as if your rideshare driver was driving erratically).
4. Call 911 so the police can be dispatched and emergency responders can treat anyone with injuries.
5. Call an experienced rideshare attorney.
Rideshare Insurance
Rideshare drivers typically have rideshare insurance as an addition to their personal insurance policies. This insurance will cover them during the four stages of the rideshare experience. Different states have different requirements, but in California, rideshare companies must provide drivers with a certain amount of insurance for the times that they are en route to pick up a passenger and when they have passengers in their car.
If you are in an accident while in an Uber or Lyft, their rideshare insurance as well as the commercial insurance policy provided by the rideshare company should cover any injuries to passengers and any medical care that you may need.
Frequently Asked Questions
There is a lot of confusion surrounding rideshare drivers and how it all works, especially if you are in an accident. Some of the most frequently asked questions are:
How big of a settlement will I get from my rideshare injury case?
Every case is different, so it’s tough to say what one person will get versus another. However, an experienced rideshare accident attorney can help make sure you get everything that you are entitled to.
If I am in an accident in an Uber or Lyft, what can I do to help my case?
Seek medical care, even if you don’t think you are injured. Not all injuries show up right away and the adrenaline after an accident could be masking the pain. Report the accident to the rideshare company and make sure you have information for your driver and the other drivers involved.
Someone hit the Uber or Lyft I was riding in. Who is responsible?
Generally, the insurance company of the driver who is at fault will cover the injuries of other passengers. This would apply in this situation as well.

Persistent
“I was injured in a car accident. The lawyer made sure that I went to my chiropractor sessions and that I get the medical attention needed. I also got MRI’s as needed and also got back injections as needed. He was very persistent on contacting me, even when I wasn’t reachable, and making sure that I got treated right and paid a good amount at the end. He is a very respectful person and great lawyer.”
