Call 911 and report the crash through the Uber or Lyft app. An official police report from the Reno Police Department is essential for your claim.
Before closing the app, screenshot your ride details including the driver’s name, trip route, and confirmation of an active trip.
Visit Renown Regional or Saint Mary’s promptly. Document all injuries, as symptoms from whiplash and soft tissue damage may develop over days.
Rideshare accident claims involve multiple insurance policies and corporate legal teams. Phoong Law knows how to navigate these complex cases.
Reno’s casino and tourism industry, special events at the Reno Events Center, and the growing tech sector generate steady rideshare demand. Uber and Lyft drivers navigating downtown, the casino district, the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, and busy corridors like South Virginia Street are involved in collisions regularly.
Rideshare accident claims are complicated by multiple layers of insurance coverage that vary based on the driver’s status at the time of the crash. Whether the driver was waiting for a ride request, en route to pick up a passenger, or actively carrying passengers affects which policies apply. Phoong Law understands these distinctions and pursues maximum recovery.

Coverage depends on the driver’s status. During active trips, Uber and Lyft provide up to $1 million in liability coverage. When the app is on but no ride is accepted, coverage is lower. Phoong Law identifies all applicable policies.
Rideshare companies classify drivers as independent contractors, which can limit direct liability. However, their insurance policies still apply, and there may be grounds for additional claims depending on the circumstances.
As a passenger, you are generally not at fault and can file a claim against the at fault driver’s insurance and the rideshare company’s coverage.
Yes, report through the app and also call 911 for a police report. The app report creates a record with the rideshare company, but a police report provides independent documentation.
