Rideshare accidents

Uber and Lyft collisions can involve layered responsibility and insurance.

VELA LAW FIRM represents people injured in rideshare accidents involving passengers, rideshare drivers, other motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists.

How the firm approaches the work

A rideshare collision may involve the rideshare driver’s personal insurance, coverage associated with the platform, another driver’s policy, or several sources. The driver’s status in the app can affect which coverage questions must be investigated.

Evidence should be preserved before account records, communications, video, or witness information become harder to obtain.

Information that may matter

  • The driver’s app status and trip records
  • Electronic communications and platform records
  • Police reports, photographs, video, and witness accounts
  • Policies covering the rideshare driver and other vehicles
  • Medical documentation, lost income, and the effect of the injuries

Who may have a claim

Rideshare passengers, occupants of other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and rideshare drivers may face different factual and insurance issues. The analysis begins with each person’s role and the available coverage.

Preparing the case

The firm identifies the involved parties and insurers, preserves evidence, documents the injuries and losses, and prepares the claim for litigation when responsibility or value is disputed.

Every matter is evaluated individually. The available evidence, jurisdiction, deadlines, conflicts, and the firm’s ability to provide the required preparation all matter. Contacting the firm does not create an attorney-client relationship.
