Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyers
Rideshare accidents can involve drivers, passengers, pedestrians and the occupants of other vehicles, and the claims often involve more than one insurance policy. If you were hurt in an Uber or Lyft accident, Yerushalmi Law Firm can investigate what happened, identify the coverage that applies and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Who We Help
- Passengers injured while riding in an Uber or Lyft
- Rideshare drivers injured on the job

- Pedestrians and cyclists struck by a rideshare vehicle
Why Rideshare Claims Are Complicated
The insurance that applies can depend on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash: driving for personal reasons, logged in to the app and waiting for a ride request, or on the way to pick up or carrying a passenger. Rideshare companies and their insurers also have teams focused on limiting what they pay. Coverage terms can change over time, so we review the policies that apply to your specific accident instead of making assumptions.
Injuries We See
Rideshare crashes can cause whiplash, back and spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, internal injuries and, in the worst cases, wrongful death. These injuries can mean medical bills, lost income and long recoveries.
What To Do After a Rideshare Accident
- Call 911 and get medical attention right away.
- Take screenshots of the trip details, driver name and license plate from the app.
- Take photos of the vehicles, the scene and your injuries.
- Exchange information with the other drivers involved and do not admit fault.
- Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with a lawyer.
- Contact an attorney as soon as possible, because deadlines for filing a claim apply.
