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.

Decoding Liability in Uber and Lyft Accidents

Unlike traditional car accidents, rideshare crashes introduce layers of legal complexity. This is because Uber and Lyft drivers are considered independent contractors—not employees—and liability can shift depending on what stage of the ride they were in when the accident occurred.

Our Nashville rideshare accident lawyers will investigate thoroughly to determine:

  • Whether the app was off (only personal insurance applies)
  • Whether the driver was logged in but waiting for a ride (limited coverage from Uber/Lyft)
  • Whether a passenger was in the vehicle or a pickup was in progress (up to $1 million in liability coverage may apply)

We work quickly to preserve mobile app data, analyze trip logs, and ensure all responsible parties are held accountable.

Frequent Causes of Rideshare Accidents in Nashville

The streets of Nashville are often filled with tourists, delivery vehicles, rideshare cars, and locals alike—all contributing to a fast-paced, congested environment. Common causes of Uber and Lyft accidents in the area include:

  • Distracted driving while navigating apps
  • Driver fatigue from long shifts
  • Speeding to meet ride quotas or earn bonuses
  • Insufficient background checks or training
  • Failure to yield or obey traffic signals
  • Improper pick-up or drop-off locations in busy zones

These dangers regularly result in severe injuries—from broken bones to traumatic brain injuries and lifelong disability. If you've been injured in a crash involving a rideshare vehicle, our attorneys will step in immediately to protect your rights.
