    Navigating the Complexities of Rideshare Accident Claims in Los Angeles

    Understanding Rideshare Insurance and Liability

    Accidents involving Uber and Lyft vehicles present unique challenges due to the complex insurance policies and multiple parties involved. The Law Offices of Sam N. Simantob has experience with the additional complexities of these claims. We understand the nuances of rideshare insurance coverage which can vary depending on the driver's status (available vs. en route to pick up a passenger vs. transporting a passenger). This is critical in determining which insurance policy applies.

    Determining Liability in Uber/Lyft Accidents

    Several parties may be liable in a rideshare accident. This includes the Uber/Lyft driver, due to distracted driving (using the app, etc.), speeding, running red lights, or other traffic violations. Other drivers may be at fault if the accident was caused by their negligence. In some cases, the rideshare company (such as Uber or Lyft) may be held liable for negligent hiring, inadequate driver screening, or failure to properly maintain their platform.

    Securing Your Compensation After a Rideshare Accident

    After a rideshare accident, you may be entitled to compensation for various damages, including medical expenses such as emergency care, hospitalization, ongoing treatment, and future medical needs. We also pursue lost wages, recovering lost income and compensation for any reduction in earning capacity due to your injuries.

    You are also entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, addressing the physical and emotional distress caused by the accident. Finally, we will seek compensation for property damage to repair or replace your vehicle (if you were in your own car) and for any other property damaged in the incident.
