Dear Schwed Law Office.

After speaking with Schwed Law, I felt she gave me hope. The minute I gave them my accident report, I was confident I was going to be taken care of. My personal injury left me in a lot of pain. I was frustrated and exhausted. I had horrible headaches, neck and shoulder spasms and many restless nights. This impeded special outings and meetings with family and friends. I knew the bills were going to be taken care of. So I just focused on getting treated for my injury and feeling better. I never once had to call to follow up on anything.

I was so impressed with how fast my case was settled. I am so grateful for how I was treated and cared for. I highly recommend the offices of Schwed Law. Their professionalism and expertise were enough to put me at ease with all my questions and concerns from the beginning.

Who Is Responsible in a Rideshare Crash?

One of the biggest challenges in a rideshare accident is figuring out who is financially responsible. That answer often depends on what the driver was doing at the exact moment of the crash.

Rideshare companies divide their insurance coverage into three distinct time periods:

  • The app is off: Only the driver's personal insurance applies.
  • The app is on, but no passenger is assigned: Uber or Lyft provides limited coverage.
  • A passenger is on board or the driver is en route to a pick-up: Up to $1 million in rideshare coverage is available.

Our Memphis rideshare accident lawyers know how to obtain app data, gather driver logs, and determine exactly when and how the accident occurred. That allows us to target the correct insurance policies and demand full compensation.

What Causes Most Rideshare Accidents in Memphis?

Like any city with high rideshare usage, Memphis experiences accidents caused by a range of negligent behaviors. Common causes we see include:

  • Drivers distracted by their phones or the app
  • Fatigued drivers working long hours without rest
  • Speeding to maximize rides or meet bonuses
  • Failure to properly vet drivers or provide adequate training
  • Poor decision-making in heavy traffic or high-crime zones
  • Dangerous drop-off or pick-up locations, especially in congested areas

When negligence leads to serious injuries, we step in to investigate and pursue a claim on your behalf.
