El Monte Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyer | San Gabriel Valley
An Uber or Lyft driver hurt you. Maybe you were their passenger. Maybe you were in your own car, or crossing the street when they caused the auto accident. You were hurt. Perhaps you spent a few days in the hospital. Now you are trying to heal. Bills are coming in. In a rideshare crash, who pays can get very complicated very fast.
When a rideshare driver causes a crash, which insurance pays depends on what their app was recording at that exact moment. If they were logged off, it's their personal policy - and it is unlikely they have the same coverage as the company. If they were logged on and waiting for a ride request, the limit changes again. If they were on the way to a pickup or had a passenger in the car, Uber and Lyft's commercial policy responds, and that's a much larger policy.
So ask yourself something: do you actually know what that driver's app was doing when they hit you? Do you know how to find out before it is erased? That single detail can be the difference between a minimum-limits policy and a commercial one. Your damages are the same - the recovery can be vastly different. And that data belongs to Uber or Lyft, not the driver, and it doesn't stay available forever.
Here's the honest part: if you were not hurt in the accident, there probably isn't a case. Brad Hayes Law will tell you plainly whether you have a great case, a decent one, or nothing worth pursuing.
But if you were hurt, the app data is the first thing that needs to be found, and the clock on it started the day of the crash. We are an El Monte Uber and Lyft accident lawyer. Getting those records, and what they're worth, is how Brad Hayes Law earns its fee - paid out of the settlement if we win. But we can't win if you don't call.
