Whether you were a passenger or a driver, navigating the aftermath of such an accident can be complex and challenging.

Our attorneys will guide you through all legal complications and help you obtain maximum compensation for the suffering you’ve endured through no fault of your own.
Here’s what you can expect when you choose our firm.
Rideshare accidents often involve complex liability issues due to the nature of the drivers being classified as independent contractors. In Texas and other states, Uber and Lyft drivers work as independent contractors, which typically shields the companies from direct liability. However, victims can still seek recovery from Uber or Lyft’s insurance policies, which could provide up to $1 million in coverage for accidents that occur while drivers are on-duty.
A thorough investigation is the backbone of a successful rideshare accident claim. Our lawyers will promptly gather police reports, medical records, and eyewitness accounts. We may also collaborate with accident reconstruction experts to piece together the events leading to the crash. This meticulous approach helps build a compelling case for compensation.
“When our clients have been involved in a crash, we need to really understand their story so that we can advocate not only to the insurance companies but potentially to juries. We take a dedicated, client-centric approach that allows our clients to focus on trying to get back to life as usual.”

Understanding the insurance policies of rideshare companies can be daunting. Both Uber and Lyft maintain substantial insurance policies to cover accident victims, but these policies only kick in under specific circumstances. A rideshare accident lawyer can interpret these documents so you know your coverage limits and rights. They also handle communications with insurance adjusters, preventing you from making statements that could harm your claim.
It is crucial to let your attorney deal with insurance company adjusters. These professionals will use questionable tactics to trick you into accepting blame for the wreck. However, if you have a rideshare accident lawyer working for you, you can refer the adjuster to your legal representative and focus on recovery.
Insurance companies often aim to minimize payouts. Rideshare accident lawyers level the playing field by negotiating assertively on your behalf. They leverage their knowledge of the law and precedents to push for fair settlements that cover medical expenses, vehicle repairs, lost wages, and other damages.
Sometimes, an insurance company will refuse to do what’s right. If the insurer covering the at-fault driver who caused the accident doesn’t offer a fair settlement, your rideshare accident lawyer will take them to trial. They’ll present a compelling case backed by solid evidence to convince the court you should receive every penny you deserve.
We stand by you every step of the way, turning challenges into victories. With us, you’re not just a case number; you’re a valued partner.
Every rideshare accident case is unique. Your Williams Caputo Injury Lawyers rideshare accident lawyer will develop a personalized legal strategy tailored to your circumstances.
