Quick Answers After A Rideshare Accident
What This Practice Area Covers
A Rideshare Accident Claim Is About Untangling Insurance Coverage
Rideshare accidents are different from typical car crashes because insurance coverage depends on the driver’s status at the time of the accident.
If the driver was logged into the app, waiting for a ride request, or actively transporting a passenger, different policies may apply. Determining which coverage is available is a critical step.
At Gillani Law, we represent passengers, rideshare drivers, and other motorists injured in Uber and Lyft crashes when liability or coverage is disputed.
Common Rideshare Accident Cases We Handle
- Injuries to passengers inside an Uber or Lyft
- Accidents caused by a rideshare driver
- Collisions involving another negligent driver
- Pedestrian injuries involving rideshare vehicles
- Disputed coverage cases
- Uninsured or underinsured motorist situations
- Multi-vehicle crashes involving rideshare vehicles
These cases often require reviewing app activity logs and insurance policy layers.
You May Still Have a Case Even If…
- You are unsure whether the driver was “on the clock”
- The rideshare company denies responsibility
- The insurance company claims limited coverage
- Multiple drivers were involved
- You did not feel injured immediately
- You are being pressured to accept a quick settlement
Coverage disputes are common in rideshare accident cases.
What To Do After A Rideshare Accident
Call 911
Report the accident and request medical attention if needed. An official report can help clarify fault and document the rideshare driver’s involvement.
Document What Happened
Take photos of vehicle damage, the rideshare vehicle’s license plate, and your injuries. Screenshot ride details in the app if possible.
Seek Medical Care
Even if symptoms seem minor, get evaluated promptly. Injuries may worsen in the hours or days after the accident.
Contact Your Insurance Company & an Attorney
Notify your insurer but be cautious with recorded statements. Speaking with Gillani Law can help determine which insurance policies apply.
Injuries and Damages We Commonly See In Rideshare Accidents
Rideshare accidents can cause the same serious injuries as other vehicle crashes.
We commonly represent clients suffering from:
- Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
- Neck and whiplash injuries
- Back and spinal injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
- Shoulder and knee injuries
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Soft tissue injuries
- Lacerations and scarring
- Nerve damage
- Long-term pain or reduced mobility
Passengers may be especially vulnerable due to seating position and lack of awareness before impact.
A Note About Delayed Symptoms
Adrenaline can temporarily mask pain after a crash. Concussions, soft tissue damage, and internal injuries may not appear immediately. Seek medical attention if new symptoms develop in the days following the accident.
