El Monte Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyer | San Gabriel Valley
A careless Uber or Lyft driver hurt you.
Maybe you were their passenger. Maybe you were in your own car, or crossing the street. Maybe you spent a few days in the hospital. Now you are trying to heal, and the bills are coming in.
In a rideshare crash, who pays gets complicated fast.
It depends on what the driver's app was doing at the exact moment of the crash. If they were logged off, it's likely their personal policy, often the state minimum. If they were logged on and waiting for a ride request, a smaller company policy can kick in. If they were headed to a pickup or had a passenger in the car, Uber or Lyft's commercial policy applies, and it must carry at least $1 million in coverage.
Same crash. Same injuries. A very different check.
Do you know what that driver's app was doing when they hit you? That record belongs to Uber or Lyft, not the driver, and it doesn't stay around forever.
If you were the passenger, please screenshot your trip in the app today. The receipt shows the driver, the car, the route, and the time. If you were in the other car, a photo of the Uber or Lyft sticker in their windshield helps too. If you took photos at the scene, save every one.
You have every right to talk to an El Monte Uber and Lyft accident lawyer before you talk to their insurance.
Please do not make a statement to the insurance adjuster if you are being recorded.
So how do you find out if you have a good case?
Call Brad. The first thing we usually do is demand that Uber or Lyft preserve the trip data before it's gone. Then we tell you plainly whether you have a great case, a decent one, or one not worth pursuing. Talking to Brad doesn't cost you a penny.
Honestly, if you were not hurt in the accident, there probably isn't a case. But if you were hurt and the driver caused it, finding the app data and making the right policy pay is how Brad Hayes Law earns its fee. We are only paid out of the settlement if we win. But we can't win if you don't call.
