Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyers
Uber and Lyft have grown tremendously in popularity across the United States and internationally. Many people rely on these ride-sharing services for everyday transportation and as a safer alternative to driving while impaired. By 2019, reports showed that 36% of Americans had used a rideshare service. As rideshare usage rises, so does the potential for car accidents – and with that comes a greater risk of being involved in a collision as a passenger.

Who’s Liable in a California Rideshare Accident?
Liability in a California rideshare accident depends on who caused the crash and whether the driver was actively using the app. If the rideshare driver is at fault, Uber or Lyft may provide insurance coverage depending on whether a trip was in progress.
If another driver caused the accident, their insurance is typically responsible. Passengers can file claims against any negligent party involved.
Your Rights After an Uber or Lyft Accident in Los Angeles
Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft make transportation in Los Angeles fast and convenient, but accidents involving these companies can quickly become complicated.
Victims often struggle to understand whose insurance applies, what their claim is worth, and how to navigate the rideshare company’s strict reporting rules. At the Bark Law Firm, we help injured passengers, drivers, and pedestrians cut through that confusion so they can focus on healing while we handle the legal heavy lifting.
Rideshare Accident Claims Are Complicated
Uber and Lyft accidents differ from standard car crashes because they involve multiple insurance layers. Coverage depends on what the driver was doing at the time of the accident:
-
App Off: The driver’s personal insurance applies.
-
App On but No Ride Accepted: A limited liability policy through Uber/Lyft may apply if damages exceed the driver’s coverage.
-
Ride Accepted or Passenger in Car: Uber and Lyft carry $1 million in liability coverage, which can apply to injured passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers.
Understanding these phases is critical for maximizing compensation.
