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.

Understanding Liability in Uber and Lyft Accidents

Rideshare accident cases are more complicated than standard vehicle collisions. That’s because drivers are considered independent contractors—not employees—and insurance coverage depends on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash.

A skilled rideshare accident attorney from our firm will help determine where coverage applies and who is legally responsible. Rideshare coverage typically falls into three periods:

  • App off: The driver’s personal insurance is responsible.
  • App on, no passenger: Uber or Lyft provides limited liability coverage.
  • Passenger in vehicle or en route to pick-up: Uber or Lyft provides up to $1 million in liability coverage.

Sorting out these insurance layers requires attention to detail and immediate action. Our Uber accident attorneys conduct prompt investigations, preserve rideshare app data, and work to hold all responsible parties accountable.

Common Causes of Rideshare Accidents

Whether you were riding as a passenger, hit by a rideshare vehicle, or involved in a multi-car crash, common causes include:

  • Distracted driving (especially while using the app)
  • Fatigue from long driving shifts
  • Speeding to meet ride quotas
  • Inexperienced or poorly vetted drivers
  • Traffic law violations or aggressive driving
  • Unsafe pick-up and drop-off locations

These dangers can lead to serious injuries ranging from broken bones to traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and long-term disability. If you’ve suffered harm in one of these incidents, a rideshare injury lawyer from our firm is ready to help.
