Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have transformed transportation in Tucson, offering convenient alternatives to driving. But with more rideshare vehicles on the road, the risk of accidents has also increased. Rideshare accidents in Tucson involve complex insurance policies and liability issues. When an accident involving an Uber or Lyft driver occurs, the claims process can quickly become complicated. That’s where Harris Injury Law comes in.
Our Tucson personal injury lawyers have years of experience representing rideshare accident victims throughout Arizona. If you’ve been hurt in a Tucson rideshare accident, you need a legal team that understands the intersection of Arizona law, rideshare company policies, and insurance coverage issues. In Arizona, the statute of limitations to resolve a rideshare accident claim is two years from the date of the accident.
We proudly serve clients across Tucson and the surrounding Pima County area.

Accidents involving Uber and Lyft drivers often happen for the same reasons as other car crashes, but with added complexities due to rideshare operations. Common causes include:
Distracted driving (using the rideshare app while on the road).
Fatigue from long hours behind the wheel.
Reckless driving or speeding to reach more fares.
Failure to yield or obey Tucson traffic laws.
Poorly maintained rideshare vehicles.
Regardless of how the accident occurred, Harris Injury Law helps injury victims seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and future medical expenses. Your attorney can help you calculate current and future costs associated with the injuries from a rideshare accident.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), Pima County reported over 9,000 motor vehicle accidents in 2023, with thousands of resulting injuries. While ADOT does not specifically break out rideshare accidents, the University of Chicago found that the arrival of rideshare services led to a 2–3% increase in fatal traffic accidents nationwide (ADOT | University of Chicago Study).
In Tucson:
The busy downtown and University of Arizona areas see high volumes of rideshare vehicles, increasing collision risks.
Late-night and weekend rideshare trips are more likely to involve accidents caused by impaired or distracted driving.
These statistics highlight why having an experienced Tucson Uber accident lawyer is so important when navigating a rideshare accident claim.
If you sustain injuries in a rideshare accident, your rights depend on several factors, including whether the driver was “on the app” and what type of insurance coverage applies. Liability in rideshare accidents often depends on the driver’s status at the time of the crash.
Uber or Lyft Driver Offline: Only the driver’s personal auto insurance policy applies.
Driver Logged In, No Passenger: Limited liability coverage may apply.
Driver En Route or With Passenger: Uber or Lyft’s $1 million liability coverage may cover medical bills, bodily injury, and property damage.
