Who Is Responsible For My Injuries?

Uber and Lyft heavily promote their insurance policies, which claim to provide up to $1 million in accident protection. Despite these claims, getting compensation for injuries you suffer in a ride-sharing accident can end up proving challenging. These companies have teams of attorneys ready to defend them and their drivers against customer claims. As experienced Alhambra Uber and Lyft accident attorneys, we have the knowledge and legal expertise needed to protect your rights in these situations. Ride-sharing accidents occur for a variety of reasons. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we conduct our own investigations to determine who is ultimately responsible. This may include:

• The ride-sharing driver: These drivers are just as likely to engage in reckless driving behaviors, such as speeding, driving distracted, or being under the influence, like any other motorist.
• Other drivers involved: If your ridesharing accident involved a collision with another driver, you may be entitled to compensation through their insurer as well.
• The company the driver works for: Uber and Lyft have come under fire for company practices that put customers at risk. Not properly vetting drivers or their vehicles, allowing them to work too many shifts, failing to penalize traffic violations, and not having the proper provisions in place to protect passenger safety could all leave them liable in a claim.

What Do I Need To Do After An Uber or Lyft Accident?

With the potential for multiple parties to be liable in ride-sharing accidents and the likelihood that insurers involved may try to either deny or downplay your claim, it is important to get our Alhambra Uber and Lyft accident attorneys on your side as soon as possible. We can take the actions needed to protect you, such as conducting our own investigations, gathering evidence in your case, and negotiating with these companies on your behalf.
