RIDE-SHARE COMPANIES SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AFTER A LYFT OR UBER CAR ACCIDENT
After all, what’s the point of having insurance if you end up paying out of pocket for your medical expenses or property damage?
Following a Lyft or Uber car accident, most ride-share drivers or passengers will instinctively consent to providing a recorded statement to the ride-share company or their insurance company. While insurance matters, it is important that you ensure your rights are protected and you receive the compensation you deserve. Keep in mind that both the ride-share company and their insurance company have one main goal: to achieve the best outcome for themselves, not for you. That is why it is important that you consult with a Lyft & Uber accident attorney before signing any documents or speaking with the ride-share company representative or an insurance agent.
Lyft and Uber accidents can range from minor fender benders and other minor accidents to severe, and sometimes fatal crashes. While some accidents may seem “too minor” to justify hiring an attorney, proper legal representation can help you avoid future headaches by ensuring that you do not have to deal with ride-share or insurance companies on your own. Call us now at (818) 201-2727 for a free consultation. We work on a contingency fee basis for Lyft and Uber accident cases, which means we do not get paid until we win your case.

LYFT & UBER CAR ACCIDENTS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
After a Lyft or Uber car accident, ensure your safety and seek immediate medical attention. It is possible that you may not notice symptoms right away, even in the days or even weeks after the accident. However, it is important to seek proper medical care to ensure your well-being.
Once it is safe to do so, you should document the scene of the accident where your injury occurred by taking photos and gathering contact information from the other driver(s) and any witnesses. It is important to contact a car accident injury attorney to guide you through the legal process and protect your rights. You should refrain from speaking with the ride-share company or insurance carriers regarding the accident prior to consulting with a Lyft and Uber car accident attorney. At ES LAW GROUP, we will guide you through every step to ensure you get the right medical care and effectively handle your claim.
