  2. Rideshare Accidents

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.
Take photos of the following:
  • Vehicles involved - take photos of different angles and distances of the damage to your vehicle and the vehicle that hit you.
  • Skid marks, or road conditions such as construction signs, etc.
  • Any items in your vehicle that were damaged as a result of the impact.

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.

Bullhead and Rideshare Accident Risks

Bullhead City, located in Mohave County along the Colorado River in northwestern Arizona, sits roughly 200 miles north of Phoenix and presents unique challenges for rideshare safety. The city's remote position, combined with its role as a gateway to both Las Vegas and the Lake Havasu recreation area, creates heavy traffic from tourists and commuters traveling US Highway 95. Bullhead's smaller population—around 10,000 residents—means fewer experienced rideshare drivers compared to Phoenix or Scottsdale, and the long stretches of highway connecting Bullhead to neighboring communities increase accident severity when collisions occur. Rideshare drivers unfamiliar with local road conditions, combined with seasonal tourism surges and isolated stretches of roadway, create a higher-risk environment for Uber and Lyft passengers. Weather conditions and wildlife crossing Highway 95 also contribute to sudden stops and rear-end collisions involving rideshare vehicles.

Your Legal Rights After a Rideshare Accident in Bullhead

Arizona law protects rideshare passengers through comparative fault principles, meaning you can recover damages even if partially at fault, as long as you are less than 50 percent responsible for the accident. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim under Arizona's statute of limitations—a critical deadline that applies whether your accident occurred in Bullhead or elsewhere in the state. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, vehicle repairs, and pain and suffering. Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft carry substantial liability insurance, but pursuing a claim requires understanding both company policies and Arizona tort law. Bullhead residents benefit from Sher Law Group's statewide representation; although our office is based in Scottsdale, we handle cases throughout Arizona, including Mohave County, and we manage all court filings and negotiations on your behalf regardless of where your accident occurred.
