Injured in an Uber or Lyft accident in Long Beach? Our rideshare accident lawyers cut through the confusion and fight for full compensation – $100M+ recovered, no fee unless we win.

Long Beach Offices

Rideshare traffic is everywhere in Long Beach — picking up along Pine Avenue and the Pike, running passengers down PCH, and crowding the 405 and 710 at rush hour. When an Uber or Lyft crash happens, the question of which insurance policy applies is rarely simple. Our office is right here on Ocean Blvd, and we know how Uber, Lyft, and their insurers shift responsibility to avoid paying — and how to hold them to the coverage they owe.

How Uber and Lyft Insurance Coverage Works

The most confusing part of any rideshare accident claim is which insurance applies. With both Uber and Lyft, coverage depends on what the driver was doing at the moment of the crash:

  • App off — the driver’s personal auto insurance applies, not the rideshare company’s.
  • App on, waiting for a ride (Period 1) — limited liability coverage applies, typically $50,000 per person / $100,000 per accident in bodily injury and $30,000 property damage.
  • En route to pick up or during a ride (Periods 2 & 3) — Uber and Lyft each carry up to $1 million in liability and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.

Because the available coverage can swing from a few thousand dollars to $1 million depending on the app’s status, rideshare companies and their insurers have every incentive to dispute which period applied. Our rideshare accident lawyers establish exactly what the driver was doing and pursue the full coverage available.

Who Can Recover After an Uber or Lyft Accident

You may be entitled to compensation whether you were inside the rideshare vehicle or not. Our Long Beach Uber and Lyft accident attorneys represent:

  • Rideshare passengers injured in an Uber or Lyft
  • Uber and Lyft drivers hurt by another negligent driver
  • Other motorists hit by a rideshare vehicle
  • Pedestrians and cyclists struck by an Uber or Lyft driver

As a passenger, you’re almost never at fault, which often makes your claim more straightforward — but the insurance maze is still real. We handle the claim from start to finish and pursue every source of compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
