  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.
If you were injured as a result of the negligent action of another driver, you may be entitled to compensation for the following:
  • Medical bills (past and future)
  • Lost wages (past and future)
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property Damage
  • Permanent Injuries

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.

Rideshare Accidents Are a Growing Concern on Glendale's Busiest Roads

Glendale, Arizona is home to State Farm Stadium, Desert Diamond Arena, and a booming entertainment district that draws thousands of visitors every weekend — and with those crowds come a surge in Uber and Lyft traffic. High-volume corridors like Bell Road, Northern Avenue, and the area surrounding 91st Avenue and Camelback Road see consistent rideshare activity, particularly on game days and event nights. This concentrated traffic creates real risk. Distracted rideshare drivers navigating unfamiliar drop-off zones, passengers entering and exiting on busy arterials, and aggressive merging near the Loop 101 all contribute to accidents that leave innocent victims seriously injured and facing a confusing legal process.

Rideshare accident claims in Glendale are more legally complex than standard car accident cases. Arizona law requires Uber and Lyft to carry different levels of insurance coverage depending on whether the driver had the app on, was en route to a passenger, or had a rider in the vehicle — and the distinction matters enormously for your compensation. Cases involving Glendale residents are typically handled through Maricopa County Superior Court, and navigating that system requires a firm familiar with local procedures and the tactics insurance adjusters for major rideshare platforms routinely use to minimize payouts. Without experienced legal representation, victims often settle for far less than their injuries actually cost them.

Glendale and Rideshare Accident Injuries

Glendale, located in Maricopa County just west of Phoenix, has experienced significant growth over the past two decades. Home to over 250,000 residents, this suburban community sits at the intersection of major transportation corridors including the Loop 101 freeway and Grand Avenue, making it a hub for commuter traffic and rideshare activity. The convergence of these highways, combined with Glendale's expanding population and its proximity to entertainment venues like the Glendale Sports and Entertainment District, creates ideal conditions for Uber and Lyft services—and unfortunately, the accidents that can result from them. Distracted driving, aggressive lane changes on congested freeways, and the pressure on rideshare drivers to meet quotas and maintain high ratings all contribute to collisions in this area. When a rideshare accident occurs in Glendale, victims often face medical bills, lost wages, and long-term injuries that demand experienced legal representation.

Your Legal Rights After a Rideshare Accident in Glendale

Arizona law holds rideshare companies and their drivers accountable for injuries caused by negligence. Under Arizona's comparative fault system, you can recover damages even if you are partially responsible for an accident, though your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. The statute of limitations in Arizona gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, a deadline that should never be missed. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, future healthcare costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability. Glendale residents injured in rideshare accidents benefit from Sher Law Group's comprehensive statewide practice; we handle cases throughout Arizona, including those tried in Maricopa County courts, and we understand the specific challenges that Glendale's accident victims face when dealing with corporate rideshare insurers.
