Ride Sharing Accident

Recovering After an Uber or Lyft Accident in California

Ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft have soared in popularity across California in recent years. However, the convenience of ordering an on-demand ride comes with risks. According to state records, accidents involving Uber and Lyft vehicles rose by over 30% from 2017 to 2018.

If you’ve been injured in an accident as a rideshare passenger, driver, pedestrian, bicyclist or other victim, you have legal rights to seek compensation. The process can be complex given the involvement of drivers, rideshare companies, and multiple insurance policies.

At G&I Law Group, we have extensive experience helping victims after Uber and Lyft accidents in California. We’re here to advise you on your options and fight to get you maximum compensation.
