Arizona Uber & Lyft Accident Lawyer

Arizona’s booming tourism industry and growing population increased rideshare usage. Uber and Lyft collisions are all too common in Phoenix, Tucson, Scottsdale, Mesa, and throughout the state, which puts residents at risk of physical, emotional, and financial harm.

 

But, Uber and Lyft accidents are different from other car crashes because multiple parties may potentially be at fault, and rideshare company insurance policies may come into play. If you have been in a rideshare accident, you need an experienced law firm to navigate the complexities of your claim and help you fight for damages.

At Feller & Wendt, LLC™, we have a 99 percent success rate in personal injury cases. Call our accomplished Arizona Uber accident lawyers today for a free, no-obligation consultation at 480-702-2277 or complete our online contact form.

How Our Arizona Rideshare Injury Lawyers Assist in Uber or Lyft Accident Cases

  • Investigate the accident and who caused it

Compensation Available in an Arizona Uber or Lyft Collision Claim

Crash injuries to rideshare passengers or drivers in other vehicles can be severe, require medical treatment, and result in lost work time. You can seek economic and non-economic damages to recoup your losses, including:

  • Medical expenses
  • Physical therapy
  • Lost wages and future earnings
  • Home nursing and other care
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of consortium
  • Funeral expenses, loss of support, and other damages in a wrongful death claim

In limited cases, you can also seek punitive damages if the other party’s conduct was outrageous or egregious. For example, if the other party has multiple DUIs, punitive damages may be appropriate in certain cases.

You deserve fair compensation when someone else’s actions harm you. Partner with our accomplished personal injury attorneys in Arizona so we can fight for compensation that addresses your past, current, and future needs.

Who Are the Potentially Liable Parties in an Arizona Uber or Lyft Collision?

Arizona’s at-fault insurance laws require you to identify who is responsible for your collision to receive compensation. Unlike other car accidents, there may be multiple responsible parties, including:

  • Rideshare drivers, based on negligent or reckless driving
  • Rideshare companies, if they failed to do a proper background check or take action after previous accidents
  • Third-party drivers who caused the crash, like in chain reaction accidents
  • Manufacturers responsible for defective parts

Arizona’s pure comparative fault law affects how much you can collect if you were partly liable for the crash. Your percentage of responsibility decreases your compensation proportionately. For example, if you had $100,000 in damages and were 30 percent responsible, you would collect $70,000.

Our award-winning Arizona Uber accident lawyers will fight allegations that you contributed to your injuries and present evidence that you deserve the full value of your damages.

Whose Insurance Covers Uber and Lyft Crashes?

If a negligent rideshare driver who wasn’t working caused your accident, you may be able to make a claim against their personal auto insurance policy. Uber and Lyft carry insurance policies for drivers that cover you in other circumstances, including:

  • The driver was working but didn’t have a trip: Up to $25,000 for property damage, $50,000 for injuries, and $100,000 per accident
  • The driver had a passenger or was heading to a pickup: Up to $1 million in liability and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage

You may have to turn to your insurance for some of your damages or to a third party who was liable. Our experienced Arizona rideshare lawyers will review all applicable insurance coverage to determine the best path toward seeking full compensation.

Arizona Rideshare Accident FAQs

The laws surrounding rideshare accidents are still evolving, so it is not unusual to have questions. These are some of the more common ones our Arizona rideshare injury attorneys hear.

How Long Do I Have to File a Rideshare Accident Claim in Arizona?

Under the Arizona personal injury statute of limitations, you must file a lawsuit within two years of your rideshare accident date. You also have two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit, starting on the date of death. If you don’t file on time, you will likely lose your chance at compensation, so contact our Arizona Uber accident lawyers quickly.

Can I Hold Uber or Lyft Liable for an Accident in Arizona?

Yes, under certain conditions, a rideshare company can be liable for an accident. You may be able to sue a company directly if it did not do a background check on a driver with a history of accidents or release one with a poor driving record since becoming a rideshare driver.

Do I Have to Go to Court for an Arizona Rideshare Accident Case?

Our attorneys are skilled negotiators. We settle 85 percent of our cases before filing a lawsuit, and others are settled before the conclusion of legal proceedings. Of the remaining claims, less than 5 percent make it to a jury. In the rare event your case doesn’t settle, we will help prepare you and relieve your anxiety.

What Should I Do After a Rideshare Accident in Arizona?

The steps you take after your rideshare accident protect your health and preserve evidence for an insurance claim or lawsuit. Take action, including the following:

  • Call 911.
  • Gather evidence, such as pictures and videos.
  • Seek medical treatment if you don’t get emergency care.
  • Report the accident to Uber or Lyft through the app.
  • Partner with our experienced Arizona rideshare injury lawyers.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire an Arizona Rideshare Accident Lawyer?

We work on a contingency basis, meaning you don’t pay anything upfront for us to evaluate, investigate, and litigate your claim. You only pay us if we recover compensation. We will thoroughly explain our No Fee Guarantee before you partner with us.
