Understanding Rideshare Accidents
What is the biggest difference between Uber accidents and regular car accidents?+
Every rideshare case starts with one question: was the driver on the app? That single detail decides which insurance policy pays and how much.
Immediate Steps After a Rideshare Crash
What is the biggest mistake after an Uber or Lyft accident?+
The biggest mistake is trusting the insurance reps. They sound friendly, but they’re trained to protect the company, not you. Never give a statement or sign anything before speaking with an attorney.
Evidence & Case Value
What is the most important evidence in an Uber accident case?+
It’s the app data and we send immediate preservation notices to make sure the critical app data is preserved.
How do you calculate what an Uber accident case is worth?+
We look beyond the bills. Your case’s true value includes your lost income, future medical care, and the long-term impact on your life. We bring in medical specialists, economists, and vocational experts to build a complete picture of what the crash cost you.
Fighting Uber & Lyft Insurance
How do you beat Uber's insurance tactics?+
We don’t play defense, we play offense. Insurers try to stall and shift blame, but we go straight to the evidence: driver logs, app timestamps, and cameras. That’s when settlement offers start getting serious.
What experience do you have against Uber's legal team?+
Uber and Lyft have massive legal teams. We go head-to-head with them, and often win. Our firm knows their playbook, their insurers, and their delay tactics. We move fast, preserve evidence, and push hard for results.
Common Concerns
Will Uber ban me from the app if I file a claim?+
The short answer is no.
What if I was partially at fault for my rideshare accident?+
That’s okay, Florida law still allows recovery if your percentage of fault is less than 50%. The key is proving the other driver’s share, and that’s our job.
Timeline & Deadlines
How long do I have to file an Uber accident claim in Florida?+
In Florida, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, you have two years from the date of the accident to file your claim, and three years in New York. Whether you were a passenger, a pedestrian, or another driver, that deadline matters. The sooner you contact us, the faster we can preserve key evidence before it disappears.
How long does an Uber accident case take to settle?+
Again, it depends. For straightforward cases, settlements often come within six to nine months. In complex cases it can take longer. What matters most is the outcome, not the speed. We prepare every case for trial, because that’s how we get maximum value at the negotiation table.
