Mova Law Group – Personal Injury Attorneys

Top Rideshare Accident Attorneys in San Diego

California is the birthplace of ridesharing apps, with both Uber and Lyft being based in the state. The popularity of ridesharing has only increased in the years, and with greater demand, more ridesharing vehicles are on the road. Ridesharing companies provide valuable services and offer great alternatives to driving alone or having to work for a taxi company to make your living.

In a state as populated as California, with as many vehicles on the road as there are, it is no surprise car accidents involving a rideshare driver are also on the rise. Vehicle accidents involving a rideshare company driver are not treated like car accidents between private individuals. Insurance policies have added another level of complexity, and if you are a victim in one of these collisions, you may be overwhelmed with medical bills and your insurance claims.

If you or a loved one are involved in an auto accident involving a ridesharing company, you need to know the legal options available. This is where the expert personal injury lawyers at Mova Law Group – Personal Injury Attorneys can help. These ridesharing accident attorneys can let you know what you could expect to gain from a personal injury claim and will fight for fair compensation for you.

Whether you are a passenger or another driver in a ridesharing company vehicle collision, a pedestrian hit by a ridesharing independent contractor, a driver for Lyft, Uber, or the like, or someone who experienced property damage through no fault of your own in a car crash, the skilled personal injury attorneys will know how best to help.

San Diego Rideshare Accident Lawyers Can Help Prove Liability in Your Personal Injury Case

In any motor vehicle accident, you must establish who is at fault for the damages and the liability coverage you will receive for your severe injuries or property damage. In a typical car accident, however, one or more drivers are not independent contractors who may or may not have driver’s personal insurance at the time.

Having liability insurance and claiming liability for your personal injuries are two different things. Lyft/Uber’s insurance does provide insurance coverage for accidents occurring in Uber vehicles while the driver is on the clock. The rideshare company’s insurance also includes other uninsured drivers who may be at fault in an Uber or Lyft collision.

As an accident victim, you cannot expect to know all of the ins and outs of insurance claims. You owe it to yourself and your recovery to let an experienced car accident lawyer who understands the rideshare company’s insurance take over your case. The Uber accident attorneys at Mova Law Group – Personal Injury Attorneys are ready to fight for you to get the coverage you need today. We will not settle until you do!

Ridesharing Accidents Versus Taxi Cab Accidents in San Diego

Does insurance cover these personal vehicles? Uber and Lyft accidents are very different insurance claims than taxicab accident claims. A taxi driver uses a company vehicle, whereas a rideshare services driver usually provides their own car to do their work. While rideshare apps do have their insurance policies that cover the drivers, this coverage only applies:

While transporting a passenger
While en route for a ride request
While logged into the rideshare app, waiting for a passenger

Otherwise, the company recommends that their Uber drivers also have their own personal insurance policy, including private auto insurance that goes above and beyond what they offer.

As an accident victim, how can you be expected to know when a driver is on the clock? You have no idea, and personal injury claims can come down to the word of the rideshare app against yours. After a free case evaluation, a rideshare accident attorney from the law firm of Mova Law Group – Personal Injury Attorneys will be able to recommend how best to proceed with a claim.

Besides having insurance coverage on a company-provided vehicle, taxi drivers are also subjected to stricter work conditions, such as background checks and specialized driver’s licenses. In California, Uber and Lyft drivers are now undergoing background checks for rideshare passenger safety. Still, their driver training can consist of short videos and is not regulated to the extent of the training for taxicab drivers. The rideshare companies will try to avoid claiming any responsibility for the at-fault driver so that they can pay you, the victim, less than you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our experienced vehicle accident attorneys are well-versed in handling cases involving rideshare services. We understand the complexities of these cases and are committed to providing personalized legal support. Read below for frequently asked questions, or call us today for any information or questions.

What should I do immediately after a rideshare accident?

If you are involved in a rideshare accident, prioritize your safety and health. Call 911 to report the accident and seek medical assistance if needed. Gather information at the scene, including the rideshare driver’s contact and insurance details, the names and contact information of any other involved parties, and witness information. Take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries. Report the accident to the rideshare company (such as Uber or Lyft) through their app or website. Finally, contact an experienced rideshare accident lawyer to discuss your case and understand your legal rights and options.

What types of compensation can I receive after a rideshare accident?

If you are involved in a rideshare accident, you may be entitled to various types of compensation. This can include medical expenses for immediate and ongoing treatment, rehabilitation costs, and prescription medications. You can also claim compensation for lost wages if your injuries prevent you from working, as well as for diminished earning capacity if your ability to work in the future is affected. Additionally, you may be eligible for non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. An experienced lawyer can help you identify and pursue all potential avenues of compensation to ensure you receive the full amount you deserve.

What if the rideshare driver was at fault in the accident?

If the rideshare driver was at fault in the accident, you could file a claim against the rideshare company’s insurance policy, which provides coverage for accidents involving their drivers. The level of coverage depends on the driver’s status at the time of the accident, but it generally includes primary liability coverage when the driver is en route to pick up a passenger or actively transporting a passenger. An experienced lawyer can help you navigate the claims process, gather necessary evidence, and negotiate with the insurance company to ensure you receive fair compensation.
