Get police and medical help on the way. Do not leave. A police report is essential evidence, especially because rideshare companies and their insurers will look for any reason to dispute your claim.
Before closing the app, screenshot your trip details, driver information, and ride status. This confirms you were an active passenger or that the rideshare driver was on duty at the time of the crash. This evidence can disappear.
Photograph the vehicles, your injuries, the road, and surrounding conditions. Get names and contact information from witnesses. The more documentation you gather at the scene, the stronger your case.
Rideshare insurance claims are time-sensitive. Call us at 866-GOT-PAIN before speaking with Uber, Lyft, or any insurance company. We know exactly which policies apply and how to maximize your recovery.
Sacramento’s growing population, busy nightlife in midtown, and proximity to the airport have made Uber and Lyft a daily fixture on local roads. But rideshare accidents are fundamentally different from standard car crashes. Multiple insurance policies may apply depending on whether the driver was waiting for a ride request, en route to a pickup, or carrying a passenger. Uber and Lyft carry up to $1 million in liability coverage per incident, but accessing that coverage requires navigating layered claims against the driver’s personal policy, the rideshare company’s policy, and potentially other at-fault parties. Phoong Law has extensive experience handling these multi-layer claims and knows how to identify and pursue every dollar available.
Rideshare accident injuries qualify for the same categories of compensation as any other auto accident, but the insurance coverage available is often significantly higher. Understanding the coverage tiers is critical to maximizing your recovery.
Emergency room visits, diagnostic imaging, surgery, physical therapy, and ongoing care. Rideshare policies with up to $1 million in coverage can support full recovery of your medical costs.
Time away from work during treatment and any long-term impact on your ability to earn are compensable. Serious injuries from rideshare crashes can sideline victims for months.
Physical pain, fear of riding in vehicles, PTSD, and the emotional toll of a serious accident are all compensable damages under California law.
If you were another driver or had personal property in the rideshare vehicle, the cost of repair or replacement is included in your claim.
Whether you were a passenger, another driver, a cyclist, or a pedestrian, our attorneys know how to handle every rideshare accident scenario and pursue the right insurance coverage.
You were riding in an Uber or Lyft when the driver caused an accident or another vehicle hit you. As a passenger, you are rarely at fault and have strong claims against one or more insurance policies.
If a rideshare driver hit your car, you may have claims against the driver’s personal insurance and the rideshare company’s commercial policy. The applicable coverage depends on the driver’s app status.
Distracted rideshare drivers making pickups and dropoffs in busy Sacramento areas like midtown, the DOCO district, and near Sac State frequently endanger pedestrians and cyclists.
Rideshare drivers constantly use their phones to navigate and manage ride requests. This distraction is a leading cause of rideshare accidents and strengthens your negligence claim.
Sacramento’s bar scene along R Street, K Street, and midtown generates heavy rideshare traffic after dark. Fatigue and occasionally impairment contribute to late-night rideshare collisions.
Rideshare drivers unfamiliar with Sacramento’s grid system frequently make unsafe turns and lane changes. These navigation errors cause side-impact and rear-end collisions with serious injuries.

Rideshare cases move fast. The moment you retain Phoong Law, we identify all applicable insurance policies, secure evidence from the rideshare company, handle all insurer communications, and build a case designed for maximum compensation. Here is the process.
When a rideshare driver is actively transporting a passenger or en route to pick one up, Uber and Lyft maintain up to $1 million in liability coverage. The applicable amount depends on the driver’s status at the time of the crash.
Uber and Lyft classify their drivers as independent contractors to limit corporate liability. However, claims against their insurance policies can reach $1 million, and certain circumstances may allow direct claims against the company.
If another driver caused the crash, you can pursue a claim against that driver’s insurance. Additionally, the rideshare company’s uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may apply to fill any gap.
Yes, report it through the app, but do not give detailed statements or accept any settlement offers from the rideshare company. Let your attorney handle all substantive communication.
Every case is different. Simple claims may resolve in a few months. Cases involving serious injuries, disputed liability, or multiple insurance carriers can take longer. We work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while maximizing your recovery.
No. We handle every rideshare accident case on contingency. You owe nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
