An Uber or Lyft injury case differs from a regular car accident claim in several important ways. At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we understand the unique legal and insurance complexities rideshare accidents involve. Unlike traditional car accidents, Uber and Lyft drivers are considered independent contractors, not employees, which can affect liability. Additionally, rideshare companies carry tiered insurance policies that vary depending on whether the driver is waiting for a ride request, en route to pick up a passenger, or actively transporting someone.
This layered insurance coverage means it’s not always clear which party’s policy applies—or how much coverage is available. Navigating these distinctions requires experienced legal guidance. Moreover, rideshare companies often have powerful legal teams working to minimize their exposure. Victims who attempt to handle these claims on their own may receive less compensation than they deserve.
If the Uber or Lyft driver was not at fault for the accident, you may still have the right to pursue compensation from the responsible party. At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we understand that rideshare accidents can be complex, especially when fault lies with another driver, a pedestrian, a cyclist, or even a road hazard. Even if your Uber or Lyft driver did everything correctly, you could still suffer injuries caused by someone else's negligence. In such cases, a claim can be filed against the at-fault driver’s insurance.
Additionally, Uber and Lyft carry uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, which may apply if the at-fault party lacks sufficient insurance. Our legal team will investigate all possible sources of recovery, including third parties and the rideshare company’s supplemental policies.
Rideshare accidents involve multiple parties and insurance providers, making them more legally intricate than standard car accidents. Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys will help you understand your rights, gather necessary evidence, and pursue full compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering—even if the rideshare driver wasn’t responsible. We are here to advocate for your best interests every step of the way.
Yes, you have the legal right to switch attorneys at any point in your Uber or Lyft injury case if you’re not satisfied with your current representation. At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we often speak with clients who feel their current lawyer isn’t communicating effectively, lacks experience with rideshare injury cases, or isn’t pursuing the compensation they deserve. If you believe your case is not being handled properly, switching attorneys may be in your best interest.
The process is generally straightforward. Once you retain Sullivan Brill, we will notify your former attorney and arrange the transfer of your case files. In most situations, you won’t be required to pay extra legal fees upfront. Your former and new attorneys will typically work out how to divide the contingency fee once your case is resolved.
Choosing the right legal team can have a significant impact on the outcome of your case. Our firm has the experience, resources, and commitment to handle complex Uber and Lyft injury claims and maximize your recovery. If you’re uncertain about your current representation, we offer free consultations to help you understand your options and whether making a change is the right decision for your case.
