Ridesharing services are convenient, but accidents happen due to many preventable factors:
Distracted driving (drivers logged into the rideshare app while accepting a ride request)
Reckless driving or speeding through busy Gilbert streets
Fatigue from long shifts as independent contractors
Unfamiliar routes around downtown Gilbert or near SanTan Village
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Failure to yield to pedestrians and cyclists
Even though rideshare drivers are considered independent contractors, both the rideshare company and the driver’s personal insurance may share liability.
Rideshare use has grown rapidly across Arizona, and with it, traffic collisions have also increased.
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) reported 119,991 motor vehicle crashes statewide in 2022, including 1,178 fatal crashes and 52,411 crashes involving injuries, in its annual Crash Facts report.
Researchers at the National Bureau of Economic Research found that the introduction of ridesharing services such as Uber and Lyft is associated with a 2–3% increase in fatal motor vehicle accidents across U.S. cities.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that in 2023, 7,314 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes nationwide, and more than 68,000 pedestrians were injured, with distracted driving and app usage contributing to the risk.
If you were injured in a rideshare, you may wonder which insurance policy applies:
If the Uber driver or Lyft driver was not logged into the app, only their personal auto insurance provides coverage.
If the driver was logged into the rideshare app but had not accepted a ride request, the rideshare company provides limited liability coverage.
Once a ride request is accepted or passengers are in the car, the rideshare company’s insurance policy provides up to $1 million in liability coverage.
You may be entitled to recover damages for:
Medical bills and hospital bills
Lost wages and future income
Property damage
Bodily injury and physical pain
Emotional distress
Wrongful death damages if a loved one was lost due to someone else’s negligence
Arizona law allows accident victims to file a legal claim against negligent drivers, rideshare companies, or insurance providers.
Our Gilbert rideshare accident lawyers handle every step of the claims process, including:
Reviewing police reports and gathering medical professionals’ evaluations
Communicating with insurance adjusters and addressing settlement offers in light of the available evidence under applicable law.
Determining which of the multiple insurance policies applies
Helping you file a claim against the responsible rideshare driver, their insurance provider, or the rideshare company
Pursuing the compensation available under Arizona law damages such as medical costs, lost wages, and long-term care
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means attorney’s fees are only collected if there is a recovery. Clients may still be responsible for court costs and case-related expenses.
