Accidents involving rideshare drivers like Uber and Lyft can be complex because multiple coverages may apply to your case. The driver will likely have personal insurance but the rideshare company's coverage may apply as well. This applies whether you were a passenger in a rideshare vehicle, were a driver struck by a rideshare vehicle, or were injured as a pedestrian by a rideshare vehicle. It is important to hire an attorney that is familiar with rideshare claims because multiple coverages may apply to your specific case and an attorney will ensure all coverage options are explored.

    If you were involved in a RIDESHARE ACCIDENT it is important to take the following steps:
  • Contact help immediately if anyone was seriously injured and requires medical attention.
  • Obtain the contact information of the driver that caused the accident, inclusive of a picture of their driver's license and car insurance information.
  • Obtain the contact information and insurance information of the Uber/Lyft driver
  • Obtain contact information for any witnesses at the scene.
  • Call the police, ask the officer to provide you with an accident exchange form.
  • Do not admit contributing to the cause of the accident or apologize to anyone involved.
  • Report the crash to Uber/Lyft
  • Do not speak with the at fault parties insurance company or accept any offer until first contacting a personal injury attorney.

  • Vehicles involved - take photos of different angles and distances of the damage to your vehicle and the vehicle that hit you.

In Arizona, if you were injured in a rideshare accident you must make a claim for your injuries within two years of the date of the incident. If legal action is not sought within this time you forfeit your right to sue the negligent driver. In some instances the deadline to file a claim may differ, for example if a government vehicle was involved in the crash you only have 180 days to file a claim. It is important to hire an attorney that is familiar with the statute of limitations for your specific case to ensure your claim is timely filed.

Bisbee and Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) Accidents

Bisbee, located in Cochise County in southeastern Arizona, sits roughly 90 miles from Phoenix and sits at an elevation of 5,300 feet in the Mule Mountains. Despite its modest population of around 5,400 residents, Bisbee has become an increasingly popular destination for tourists visiting its historic mining district, art galleries, and outdoor recreation areas. This influx of visitors, combined with the winding mountain roads that characterize the region and the distance from major urban centers, creates unique conditions for rideshare accidents. Uber and Lyft drivers unfamiliar with Bisbee's steep terrain, sharp curves, and narrow downtown streets may operate their vehicles recklessly or negligently. Additionally, the seasonal nature of Bisbee tourism means drivers may be fatigued from long shifts or distracted while navigating unfamiliar routes, significantly increasing accident risk for passengers and other motorists in the area.

Your Legal Rights After a Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) Accident in Bisbee

Under Arizona law, you have the right to pursue compensation for injuries sustained in a rideshare accident, even if you bear partial responsibility for the incident. Arizona follows a comparative fault standard, meaning you can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault—your recovery will simply be reduced by your percentage of fault. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, a critical deadline that should not be missed. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. Because Bisbee is in Cochise County and relatively distant from Scottsdale, many residents worry about convenience; however, Sher Law Group handles rideshare accident cases throughout Arizona and manages all communication and legal proceedings on your behalf, eliminating the need for frequent travel to our Scottsdale office.
