Uber & Lyft Accidents in Arizona

Whether you were a passenger, a rideshare driver, or in another vehicle hit by an Uber or Lyft, figuring out which insurance policy applies depends on exactly what the app showed at the moment of the crash — the driver's personal policy or the rideshare company's commercial coverage.

Common Causes

  • Driver distraction (checking the app, GPS)
  • Fatigue from long driving hours
  • Unsafe pickups and drop-offs
  • Speeding to complete more rides
  • Another driver striking the rideshare vehicle

Case Types We Handle

  • Passenger Injury Claims
  • Rideshare Driver Injury Claims
  • Third-Party Vehicle Claims
  • Pickup/Drop-off Zone Accidents
Real Outcomes

We don't settle just to close your case.

Case results depend on the specific facts of each case. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Right After It Happens

What to Do After a Rideshare Accident

What you do in the first hours and days can shape what your case is worth. Here's what actually matters.

1

Get Medical Attention

Get checked out immediately and keep records of every visit — this documentation matters more in rideshare claims given the layers of insurance involved.

2

Screenshot the App

Before it disappears, screenshot your ride details, driver information, and trip status — this can be key evidence for which insurance policy applies.

3

Call the Police

A police report creates an official record and documents which vehicles and drivers were involved.

4

Avoid Recorded Statements

Both the rideshare company's insurer and the driver's personal insurer may reach out. You're not obligated to give a recorded statement to either before talking to an attorney.

5

Talk to an Attorney Before You Settle

Rideshare claims often involve more than one insurance company. Get the right one identified before you accept anything.

What You May Be Entitled To

Compensation for Rideshare Accident Victims

A rideshare accident can cost more than the medical bills alone. Arizona law lets you pursue compensation for the full impact — not just whatever the insurance company offers first.

Medical Expenses

Hospital bills, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and long-term care.

Lost Wages

Income lost while you recover, plus future earning capacity if the injury changes what you can do.

Pain and Suffering

Compensation for the physical pain and emotional toll the accident caused, not just the bills.

Property Damage

Vehicle repair or replacement, plus anything else damaged in the accident.

Punitive Damages

In cases of gross negligence — like drunk driving — additional damages meant to punish the at-fault party.

Know Your Rights

Arizona Law You Should Know

Two rules shape almost every rideshare accident claim in Arizona: how long you have to file, and what happens if fault isn't 100% clear-cut. Both usually work in your favor more than people assume.

2 Years
Statute of Limitations
Arizona's deadline to file a rideshare accident claim, from the date of the accident

Comparative Negligence

Arizona lets you recover damages even if you were partially at fault — your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, not eliminated. Don't assume you have no case just because fault isn't 100% clear-cut.

Don't Wait

In some cases, you may have as little as 6 months to file your complaint, and certain claims must settle within about a year. Start the process now instead of waiting and potentially missing out.

Questions

Frequently Asked Rideshare Accident Questions

Which insurance covers my rideshare accident?

It depends on the driver's app status at the time of the crash — offline, waiting for a ride, or actively driving a passenger each trigger different coverage. We identify the right policy so your claim isn't denied on a technicality.

How long do I have to file a rideshare accident claim in Arizona?

Arizona's statute of limitations for rideshare accident claims is two years from the date of the accident.

What if I was a passenger and not at fault at all?

As a passenger, you're rarely at fault, and Arizona's comparative negligence rules still work in your favor if any fault is ever disputed.

How much is my case worth?

It depends on your medical costs, lost wages, and how clearly fault can be proven. We give you a real, honest number after reviewing your case.

Do I need an attorney for a rideshare accident claim?

Rideshare claims involve more moving parts than a typical accident. There's no cost to find out where you stand — the free case review carries zero obligation.
