Rideshare Accidents

Have You Been Injured In A Rideshare Accident?

Calling an Uber or Lyft is second nature for many Californians—a convenient service millions rely on daily, often assuming their trip will be safe. However, that assumption can be shattered in an instant. Passengers, rideshare drivers, other motorists, and even pedestrians can find their lives disrupted by an accident involving a rideshare vehicle.

What makes these accidents particularly challenging is the complexity of determining liability. Multiple parties—each with their own insurance policies—may be involved, including the rideshare company itself. While Uber and Lyft once offered more robust insurance coverage for accident victims, they have grown increasingly restrictive as they face mounting competition and grapple with California labor laws that impact their bottom line.

If you’re injured in a rideshare-related accident, whether as a passenger, driver, or pedestrian, you’ll need an experienced personal injury lawyer to navigate these complications. That’s where Kevin Levian steps in, to help ensure you aren’t shortchanged and that you receive the full compensation you need to recover and move forward.

Why Choose Kevin Levian As Your California Rideshare Accident Attorney?

Kevin Levian has been practicing for over 20 years, including over 15 at the head of his own personal injury and accident-focused law firm. Over the past 15 years, he has witnessed the rise of the rideshare industry in urban hubs like Los Angeles and San Francisco and handled many of the resulting accident claims.

He also has a more personal connection to injury law, having been himself the victim of a drunk driver on the road. This accident gave him first-hand experience of the tragedy and legal difficulties involved in the medical and financial recovery. Since that accident, he has dedicated himself to helping others similarly injured, whether it is in accidents with drunk drivers or Uber and Lyft drivers pushed too hard to make ends meet.

What Kinds Of Compensation Can A Lawyer Help Me Claim After A Rideshare Accident?

Accidents that result in injuries—especially severe ones—can create serious financial challenges. Medical bills, ongoing treatment costs, and diagnostic expenses can pile up quickly, all while your ability to earn income is reduced or eliminated due to your injuries.

Fortunately, personal injury claims allow victims to seek compensation not only for these tangible costs but also for less obvious damages, including emotional trauma, pain and suffering, and the loss of enjoyment in daily life caused by the accident.

In addition to covering injury-related losses, claims may also include compensation for property damage. This could involve repair costs for your vehicle or even replacing a damaged phone used to call the Uber or Lyft. However, these property-related expenses are often a minor part of the overall costs associated with an injury, which can have long-term effects on your health and financial stability.

However, you should be cautious when a rideshare company’s insurer offers to cover immediate, practical expenses. These early offers may be designed to get you to settle quickly and waive your right to seek greater compensation for the long-term consequences of your injury. Always consult a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer to ensure you’re pursuing the full amount you deserve.
