How I Protect Rideshare Accident Victims
Rideshare accidents in Burbank and Los Angeles involve complex insurance layers that most people aren’t prepared to fight alone. I provide the high-energy advocacy you need to navigate these corporate giants.
Decoding the “App State”
Coverage depends on the driver’s status in the app at the time of the crash. I investigate whether the driver was waiting for a ride or currently on a trip to ensure the correct insurance policy pays for your injuries.
Rideshare Driver Rights
If you drive for a living and were hit by a negligent motorist, your income is gone. I represent drivers to recover lost wages and vehicle repair costs so you can get back on the road.
Direct Attorney Access
You won’t be handed off to a case manager. I personally handle every detail of your file, ensuring you have a direct line to your lawyer throughout the entire process at Personal Injury 365.
Passenger Injury Advocacy
If you were a passenger in an Uber or Lyft, you are an innocent victim. I fight to make sure you aren’t caught in a “blame game” between the drivers while your medical bills go unpaid.
Fighting Corporate Giants
Uber and Lyft have massive legal teams. As your Burbank personal injury attorney, I provide the relentless advocacy needed to stand up to these billion-dollar companies and demand a fair settlement.
Local Burbank Knowledge
Whether your accident happened near the Hollywood Burbank Airport or on a busy Los Angeles freeway, I am a local expert who knows the area’s specific traffic patterns and legal landscape.
No Upfront Costs
You pay nothing unless I win your case. No hourly rates, no retainer fees. My contingency-based practice means my success is tied directly to yours — I only get paid when you do.
Fast Case Evaluation
After a rideshare crash, time matters. Evidence disappears and insurance deadlines approach quickly. I review your case within 24 hours so we can start building your claim before anything is lost.
Prepared to Go to Trial
Most rideshare cases settle before trial. But Uber and Lyft’s insurers know which attorneys will fight and which ones won’t. Being genuinely trial-ready gives me real leverage at the negotiating table.
Compensation We Fight to Recover for You
A rideshare accident can change your life in an instant. As your Burbank personal injury lawyer, I am committed to securing the full financial compensation you need to cover your losses and support your long-term recovery.
Medical Expenses
I fight to recover every dollar spent on your medical care. This includes your initial emergency room visit, hospital stays, diagnostic imaging like MRIs, and any long-term physical therapy required for your recovery.
Lost Wages & Income
If your injuries have kept you out of work, your income shouldn’t suffer. I advocate for your lost wages and your future loss of earning capacity if you are unable to return to your job.
Pain and Suffering
Insurance companies often ignore the emotional and physical toll of a crash. I ensure your settlement includes compensation for the physical pain, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life caused by the accident.
Property Damage
Whether you were a rideshare driver or another motorist, your vehicle is your lifeline. I help you recover the costs to repair or replace your car and any personal items damaged in the crash.
Rideshare Accident FAQ

Your health is the priority. Seek medical attention immediately at a local facility like Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center. Next, ensure you take a screenshot of your ride receipt in the Uber or Lyft app and call the police to file an official accident report. Before speaking with any corporate insurance adjusters, consult with a Burbank personal injury attorney to protect your rights.
In the context of a rideshare crash, subrogation is when your health or auto insurance company seeks to be repaid for medical bills they covered while your case was pending. Because Uber and Lyft cases involve massive $1 million policies, managing these “liens” is critical. I personally handle these negotiations to ensure that the largest portion of your settlement stays in your pocket, not the insurance company’s.
It depends on the driver’s status in the app. If the driver was actively transporting a passenger or on their way to a pickup, the high-limit policy usually applies. If the driver was just waiting for a ride request, a different, lower policy might be used. I investigate the digital trip logs to ensure the maximum coverage is available for your case.
This is a complex part of rideshare accident law. Coverage depends on the driver’s “period” in the app—whether they were waiting for a request, en route to a rider, or actively on a trip. I investigate the digital trip logs to determine which policy applies, ensuring we hold the correct party accountable for your bodily injury and property damage.
Yes. At Personal Injury 365, I operate on a “No Win, No Fee Guarantee”. You will never pay an hourly rate or any upfront legal costs. I only get paid if I successfully recover money for you. This allows you to go head-to-head with billion-dollar rideshare corporations without any financial risk to you or your family.
Under the California statute of limitations, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit for personal injuries. However, rideshare cases move fast, and evidence like app data and dashcam footage can disappear. As your Burbank personal injury lawyer, I recommend starting the process immediately to preserve the evidence needed to win your case.
If the driver was completely off the app at the time of the crash, their personal auto insurance policy is responsible for the damages. However, personal policies often have much lower limits than corporate policies. I will aggressively investigate the driver’s phone data and digital logs to confirm their exact app status and uncover every possible avenue for compensation.
Never accept an initial offer without consulting an attorney. Insurance companies representing rideshare giants often present lowball offers right after a crash, hoping you will settle quickly before realizing the full extent of your injuries. I evaluate your complete medical records, lost wages, and future recovery needs to demand a settlement that actually covers the true cost of your accident.
