We rely on rideshare services like Uber and Lyft to get us home safely — but when accidents happen, it’s rarely clear who’s responsible. Insurance coverage is complex, and drivers may deny fault or blame others.
At Kobes Legal PLLC, we cut through the confusion. We represent injured passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers involved in Uber or Lyft collisions. Our team helps you understand your rights and fights to hold the right parties accountable.
Rideshare accidents involve Uber, Lyft, or other app-based driving services. Whether you were riding, walking nearby, or hit by a rideshare driver, these cases involve special legal and insurance rules.
Passenger Injured During Uber or Lyft Ride
If you’re hurt as a paying passenger, you may be covered under the rideshare company’s commercial insurance.
Hit by a Rideshare Vehicle While Driving
If an Uber or Lyft driver crashes into you, their personal or company insurance may be responsible — depending on the driver’s status at the time.
Pedestrian Struck by Rideshare Driver
When rideshare drivers aren’t paying attention, pedestrians suffer the consequences. We hold negligent drivers and insurers accountable.
Rideshare Driver Ran a Red Light or Was Distracted
Phone usage, fatigue, and rushing between pickups all contribute to dangerous decisions behind the wheel.
Uninsured/Underinsured Rideshare Drivers
Not all drivers follow coverage rules — we’ll dig into insurance layers and fight for what you’re owed.
Third-Party Liability
Sometimes fault lies with another driver, unsafe road design, or defective vehicle parts. We uncover all responsible parties.
You may have a valid uber lyft accidents case if:
-
You were injured in a crash involving a rideshare vehicle (as a passenger, driver, or pedestrian);
-
The rideshare driver was distracted, speeding, or at fault;
-
You incurred medical bills, missed work, or suffered lasting injuries; and
-
The driver was logged into the app during the incident (insurance matters here).
We know how to deal with Uber, Lyft, and their insurers — and we fight hard for real answers and real compensation.
