Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are a convenient part of modern life — until something goes wrong. When you’re injured in a crash involving a rideshare vehicle, the legal process quickly becomes confusing. Who’s liable? Whose insurance covers your injuries? What are your rights?

At Cirrus Law Group, we handle rideshare accident claims across the country — and we know exactly how to cut through the confusion. Our attorneys have extensive experience with Uber and Lyft claims, and we know how to hold both the driver and the rideshare company accountable.

What to Do After an Uber or Lyft Accident

1. Prioritize your safety and get medical attention — even if your injuries seem minor.

2. Document the scene — take photos, get contact info for all parties and witnesses, and note key details.

3. Screenshot the app — especially if you were mid-ride. This helps prove coverage under Uber/Lyft’s $1M insurance policy.

4. Call the police — a report can provide critical evidence for your claim.

5. Contact Cirrus Law Group immediately — the sooner we get involved, the stronger your case will be.

Who Is Liable in a Rideshare Accident?

Rideshare cases are unique because liability can shift depending on when the accident occurred. Uber and Lyft divide coverage into three periods:

• Offline: The driver’s personal insurance applies.

• App On, No Ride Accepted: Limited coverage from Uber/Lyft ($50k/$100k).

• Ride Accepted or In Progress: Uber/Lyft’s $1 million commercial liability policy applies.

If you were a passenger, you’re almost never at fault — and you’re fully entitled to compensation under Uber or Lyft’s insurance.

But don’t expect these companies to make it easy.

What Can You Recover in a Rideshare Injury Claim?

You may be eligible for substantial compensation, including:

Economic Damages:

• Medical expenses (past and future)

• Emergency care, surgeries, and rehab

• Lost wages and diminished earning capacity

• Property damage (e.g., your vehicle, phone, or belongings)

Non-Economic Damages:

• Pain and suffering

• Emotional distress

• PTSD or anxiety after the crash

• Loss of enjoyment of life

• Loss of companionship or intimacy (if applicable)

Punitive Damages:

In cases involving gross negligence or reckless driving (e.g., distracted or intoxicated drivers), we may seek punitive damages to hold the driver fully accountable.

Why You Need a Rideshare Accident Attorney

Uber and Lyft are billion-dollar companies backed by aggressive insurers. They aim to minimize your payout — or deny your claim altogether. They may argue:

• The driver wasn’t “on the app”

• Your injuries aren’t that serious

• Another vehicle was to blame

• You delayed seeking treatment

At Cirrus Law Group, we’ve handled these tactics before — and we’re not intimidated. We know how to push back with evidence, expert opinions, and a case that proves your right to full compensation.
