Pursuing Compensation After An Uber Or Lyft Accident

Ridesharing services such as Uber and Lyft have become commonplace. They offer convenience and affordability. But when an accident happens, pursuing compensation can be complicated.

We at Bulldog Law can help you navigate the claims process and fight for the compensation you deserve. As experienced personal injury lawyers, we understand the nuances of navigating ridesharing claims. We have convenient offices across California and handle these cases statewide.

Making Sense Of The Insurance Ramifications

One of the toughest parts of dealing with rideshare accident claims is the insurance piece. It’s far more complicated than run-of-the-mill car accident cases because there is a commercial policy involved. Generally, Uber or Lyft’s commercial policy will kick in up to a limit of $1 million per claim. A lot depends on the circumstances, however.

When you talk to our team, we can assess your situation and provide guidance on what options are available to you. Our attorneys will advise a strategic angle to maximize your chances of a successful recovery.

Don’t Give Away Too Much Too Soon

You will have to report the accident to the rideshare company as soon as possible. However, don’t get sucked into accepting a settlement, making statements about fault or providing too many details too soon. The insurance company is focused on its own bottom line – not yours. It’s easy to make small missteps early on that can have a big detrimental impact on your recovery later.

Our lawyers can help you negotiate with insurance in a way that protects your interests out of the gate. The sooner you get us involved, the better we can help you.
