Uber and Lyft Accident Attorneys Serving Victims Across California
Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have revolutionized transportation in California but they’ve also contributed to a growing number of motor vehicle accidents. If you’ve been injured in an accident involving a rideshare vehicle, your claim can be complex due to overlapping insurance policies and shifting liability between the driver, the rideshare company, and private insurers.
At Hillstone Law, our experienced personal injury attorneys are well-versed in handling rideshare accident claims and will fight to ensure you receive the maximum compensation available under California law.
Who Is Liable in a Rideshare Accident?
Determining who is responsible for compensating you depends on when and how the accident occurred. Liability may fall on:
- The rideshare driver’s personal insurance (if they were not logged into the app)
- Uber or Lyft’s $1 million commercial policy (if the driver was en route to pick up a rider or had a passenger)
- A third-party driver who caused the accident
Whether you were a passenger, pedestrian, or another driver hit by a rideshare vehicle, our team will investigate the details of your case to determine coverage and liability.

Uber and Lyft maintain substantial insurance coverage, but claims are often disputed or underpaid. Our team knows how to challenge these companies and fight for what you’re owed.
