Lyft & Uber Accident Lawyer in Glendale
Protecting Rideshare Accident Victims Across California
Rideshare services like Lyft and Uber have become part of daily life in California. Unfortunately, accidents involving rideshare vehicles can be more complex than standard car crashes. Multiple insurance policies, corporate liability rules, and disputes over who is at fault can make these cases challenging. If you were injured in a Lyft or Uber accident in Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, or anywhere in California, Tapanian Law, APC is ready to fight for your rights.
Unique Challenges in Rideshare Accident Claims
Lyft and Uber drivers are considered independent contractors, which affects how insurance coverage applies. Depending on whether the driver was logged into the app, waiting for a ride request, or actively transporting a passenger, different policies may come into play. These can include:
The driver’s personal auto insurance
The rideshare company’s $1 million liability policy
Underinsured or uninsured motorist coverage
We navigate these complexities for you, ensuring no source of compensation is overlooked.
