  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.

  • 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.

Kingman and Rideshare Accident Injuries

Kingman, located in Mohave County along historic Route 66, sits roughly 100 miles northwest of Phoenix and serves as a crossroads community between Las Vegas and the Arizona interior. As a rural hub with a population around 28,000, Kingman experiences steady rideshare traffic from travelers passing through on Interstate 40, as well as locals using Uber and Lyft for daily transportation to nearby Laughlin, Nevada, and surrounding areas. The combination of highway travel, mixed weather conditions, and unfamiliar drivers navigating desert terrain creates unique accident risks. Many rideshare collisions in Kingman involve out-of-state drivers unfamiliar with local road conditions, fatigue from long interstate routes, or distraction while managing rideshare apps. When accidents occur at these critical junctures, victims often face injuries complicated by the liability questions that rideshare platforms create—questions that demand experienced legal representation to protect your rights.

Your Legal Rights After a Rideshare Accident in Kingman

Arizona law protects rideshare accident victims under comparative fault principles, meaning you can recover compensation even if partially at fault, as long as you are less than 50% responsible. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim under Arizona's statute of limitations—a deadline that applies whether your accident happened in Kingman or anywhere else in the state. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft carry substantial insurance coverage, but they often dispute claims aggressively.
