At Harris Injury Law, we understand the legal complexities that arise when an accident occurs involving a rideshare company like Uber or Lyft. Unlike traditional car accidents, these cases often involve multiple parties, including rideshare drivers, other drivers, and large corporate insurance companies.
Here are some reasons clients choose our firm:
Experience with rideshare accident cases. We have worked on Uber and Lyft accident claims throughout Arizona, including cases involving severe bodily injury, property damage, and emotional distress.
Dual expertise in personal injury and workers’ compensation law. Founding attorney Jason A. Harris brings over 16 years of legal experience, allowing him to manage overlapping legal issues such as lost wages, medical care, and future medical expenses.
Direct attorney communication is emphasized, and clients may have the opportunity to speak with an attorney during their case.
No upfront fees. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you won’t pay attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation. Costs and case-related expenses may still apply.
Our goal is to help injured victims in Glendale understand potential claims and pursue compensation options under Arizona law.
Attorney Jason A. Harris is one of Arizona’s few attorneys with deep experience in both personal injury and workers’ compensation law. He has worked with many accident victims across Arizona, including those injured in rideshare crashes involving Uber or Lyft vehicles.
Jason understands how to navigate the unique insurance layers and liability coverage issues that often arise in rideshare accident cases. Whether you were an injured passenger, a Lyft driver, or a motorist struck by a rideshare vehicle, Jason’s dual knowledge ensures every aspect of your personal injury claim is addressed, from medical documentation to insurance adjuster negotiations and, if needed, trial representation.
His commitment includes personal attention, communication, and advocacy to help clients navigate claims involving medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Rideshare accidents can happen anywhere, from busy intersections like 59th Avenue and Glendale Avenue to congested areas near State Farm Stadium or Westgate Entertainment District. Common causes include:
Driver negligence, such as distracted driving, fatigue, or speeding.
Other drivers violating traffic laws or failing to yield.
Inadequate insurance coverage or unclear liability coverage between personal and corporate policies.
Rideshare companies failing to properly vet or train independent contractors.
Vehicle maintenance issues or unsafe road conditions.
When these factors combine, rideshare accidents can cause severe injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, fractures, or spinal trauma. Victims may face ongoing medical treatment, therapy, and future medical expenses.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), Maricopa County, which includes Glendale, consistently reports the highest number of traffic crashes in the state. In 2023, ADOT recorded over 40,000 crashes in Maricopa County involving passenger vehicles, some of which included rideshare vehicles like Uber and Lyft.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has also found that distracted driving and fatigue among commercial and gig-economy drivers contribute significantly to rideshare-related crashes. These findings underscore the importance of holding negligent parties accountable and ensuring adequate compensation for injured victims.
With Glendale’s expanding nightlife and attractions, especially around Westgate, Downtown Glendale, and Loop 101, the number of Uber or Lyft accidents has increased, creating a growing need for experienced rideshare accident attorneys who understand both local traffic patterns and insurance procedures.
If you’ve been injured in a rideshare crash, understanding your legal rights is essential. Uber and Lyft are required to carry liability coverage for their rideshare drivers, but the coverage depends on the driver’s app status at the time of the accident:
App off: Only the driver’s personal policy applies.
App on, waiting for a ride: Limited liability coverage from the rideshare company may apply.
En route to pick up or transporting a passenger: Uber or Lyft’s commercial policy (typically $1 million) is in effect.
However, insurance companies may dispute who is responsible for paying medical bills, property damage, and lost wages. The legal process can be complex, involving the driver’s insurer, the rideshare company, and sometimes other drivers involved.
At Harris Injury Law, we help clients gather police reports, witness statements, and medical records to build a strong case. Our rideshare accident attorneys work with healthcare providers to document medical treatment and verify financial recovery needs.
When you contact our Glendale Uber accident lawyers or Lyft accident attorneys, we will:
Investigate the crash. Review the police report, obtain witness statements, and determine if driver negligence or other responsible parties contributed to the crash.
Handle insurance claims. Deal directly with insurance adjusters and multiple insurance companies to ensure all available liability coverage is pursued.
Document your damages. Coordinate with your healthcare providers to secure complete medical documentation, including medical expenses and ongoing medical care.
Seek compensation when available under Arizona law. Seek financial recovery for your medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and emotional distress under Arizona law.
Provide clear communication. Keep you informed about all legal procedures and timelines so you understand your personal injury lawsuit every step of the way.
Our Glendale rideshare accident lawyers work diligently to help injured passengers, Lyft drivers, and Uber drivers navigate insurance disputes and pursue adequate insurance coverage when rideshare companies or other drivers are at fault.
