Rideshare Accidents · Los Angeles
Uber and Lyft carry $1 million policies. Whether that coverage applies depends on what the app said at the moment of impact.
Passenger, other driver, or the rideshare driver yourself. Rideshare coverage has three periods and the insurers argue over every one of them.

How we handle it
What we do in the first ten days.
Rideshare cases are coverage puzzles. The driver’s personal policy, the rideshare company’s contingent policy, and the $1M commercial policy each apply in different circumstances. We obtain the trip data and pin the coverage before the companies point fingers at each other.
App status evidence
We subpoena trip logs to establish whether the driver was offline, waiting, en route, or carrying a passenger.
Passengers
As a passenger you are almost never at fault. We pursue every available policy.
Drivers
If you drive for Uber or Lyft and were hit, we help you through the coverage gaps in your own policy.
Assault and misconduct
Cases involving driver misconduct are handled with discretion and urgency.
Value
What decides what your case is worth.
We give you an honest range after reviewing your file. These are the factors that move it.
- App period at time of crash
- Whether you were a passenger, driver, or third party
- Injury severity
- Available policies, up to $1M
- Company cooperation with data requests
