Los Angeles Uber accident lawyers at Farahi Law Firm help injured riders recover the compensation they deserve. We represent passengers, drivers, and pedestrians after a rideshare crash. Ridesharing companies such as Uber are now part of daily life across the city. Thousands of commuters rely on these services to move through busy Los Angeles streets. As Uber use has grown, so has the number of rideshare crash cases. Many victims are left unsure of their rights.
This relatively new field of transportation makes it hard to identify the at-fault party. It can also be difficult to understand your legal rights as an injury victim. An Uber crash differs from a standard car accident, because several insurance policies can apply at once. When you have been hurt while using a rideshare app, the right legal team makes a real difference.
Our top-rated Los Angeles accident lawyers offer clear, effective representation for every personal injury claim. The experienced Los Angeles Uber accident lawyers on our team understand the rights of drivers and passengers. Moreover, they guide you through each step of your claim with care.
The California Public Utilities Commission, known as the CPUC, has set rules for transportation network companies. These rules protect passengers, other drivers, and pedestrians whenever rideshare vehicles are on the road. Uber’s insurance coverage depends on the driver’s status in the app. Therefore, three distinct periods apply.
During Period 1, the app is open, and the driver waits for a match. During this period, Uber provides up to $50,000 for injuries or death per person. It also provides up to $100,000 per accident and up to $30,000 for property damage. Additionally, transportation network companies must carry excess liability coverage of at least $200,000 per occurrence.
During Period 2, the driver has accepted a match and is on the way to the passenger. Here, Uber provides primary commercial liability coverage of up to $1,000,000 per accident.
During Period 3, the passenger remains in the vehicle until they exit safely. Again, Uber provides primary commercial liability coverage of up to $1,000,000 per accident. Furthermore, the company adds uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage of $1,000,000.
Sometimes a crash involves an Uber driver who has not logged in to the app or is on a personal trip. In that case, compensation is limited to that driver’s personal insurance. California has also moved toward classifying many rideshare drivers as employees. This change can increase Uber’s accountability for driver negligence. As a result, it may benefit passengers and other drivers injured in rideshare crashes. If you are unsure whether to file a claim, speak with a qualified attorney first.
Uber crashes involve issues that rarely appear in ordinary car accidents. Typically, an injured passenger faces one of two situations. Either the Uber driver caused the crash, or another party caused it. Fortunately, an injured passenger is usually protected either way.
When your Uber driver is liable, the rideshare company’s liability insurance typically covers your injuries. If another driver is at fault, that driver’s insurance generally pays for your injuries and damages. Should an uninsured or underinsured motorist cause the crash, the rideshare company’s coverage may still protect you. Because each path involves different policies and deadlines, guidance from a knowledgeable attorney helps a great deal.
Bodily injuries are a frequent result of any vehicle collision. Understanding the injuries you suffered helps you choose the right medical care. It also helps your personal injury attorney plan the strongest possible claim. The most common crash injuries include traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and fractures. Whiplash, back injury, and the loss of limbs are also common. Even injuries that seem minor at first can develop into serious conditions, so prompt medical care matters.
The damages available after an Uber crash usually resemble those in a standard car accident claim. Economic compensation may cover medical expenses, physical therapy costs, lost wages, and the loss of future earnings. Non-economic compensation may cover property damage, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium.
When a crash takes a life, immediate family members may file a wrongful death claim. They can then recover compensation for their losses. If Uber knew of its own failures and tried to hide its role, a court may add punitive damages. Although Uber provides up to one million dollars in coverage, its insurers still deny or undervalue many claims.
For that reason, you should avoid speaking with an insurance adjuster, and you are never required to do so. Instead, these companies often work to reduce or deny claims to avoid a fair settlement. Skilled Los Angeles personal injury lawyers can manage all communications with the insurance company for you. As a result, you can focus on healing while your attorney pursues the compensation your case allows.
First, call the police and ask them to file a report for the incident. Next, request an ambulance right away if anyone has serious injuries. Then seek medical treatment even if your injuries seem minor, because some conditions appear only after a delay. After that, gather evidence at the scene by taking photos and noting driver and vehicle details. Be sure to collect witness contact information as well. Finally, contact an Uber accident attorney as soon as possible. An experienced lawyer supports you through the entire process and helps you pursue fair compensation.

Moreover, they pursue the recovery each client deserves. We also work on a contingency fee basis, which means no fees unless we win. Outcomes depend on the facts of each case, so reach out today for a free consultation.
Below are answers to questions our Los Angeles Uber accident lawyers hear most often.
Yes, an on-duty Uber driver who negligently hits a pedestrian can be liable for that person's losses. Therefore, the pedestrian may recover compensation through Uber's liability coverage. This coverage of up to one million dollars applies while the driver is heading to a passenger or transporting one. Naturally, the exact recovery depends on the facts of your case.
When an Uber driver causes your injuries, you may recover compensation for several types of losses. These include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Ultimately, the amount available depends on the severity of your injuries and your financial losses.
Yes, an uninsured or underinsured driver who injures you may still leave you with options. Specifically, you may be able to file a claim against Uber. The company carries uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage that may compensate you, subject to the facts of your case.
When another driver is at fault, you may seek compensation from that party's insurance company. If the other driver is uninsured, Uber's one million dollar coverage may apply while a passenger is present. Because these claims can become complex, prompt advice from our attorneys protects your interests.
An Uber driver without a passenger may be in one of three situations. The driver may be on a personal trip and logged out. Alternatively, the driver may be logged in and waiting for a match, or heading to collect a passenger. Different insurance coverage applies to each situation, so contact a qualified attorney to review your options.
Yes, California follows a pure comparative negligence rule. Consequently, you may still claim compensation even when you share some fault. However, your recovery is reduced in proportion to your share of responsibility. Because fault in an Uber crash is hard to determine, consult an attorney before you accept any blame.
Your Uber accident compensation depends on the circumstances of your particular case. Key factors include who was at fault, the severity of your injuries, and which coverage applies. An attorney can review these details and give you a realistic view of your potential recovery.
