  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.

Lake and Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) Accidents

Lake, Arizona, is a small unincorporated community in Gila County, located roughly 100 miles northeast of Phoenix in a rural setting characterized by wide-open spaces and winding highways. The town sits along US Route 60, a major corridor that connects central Arizona to the White Mountains region, making it a transit point for both locals and travelers heading to popular recreational destinations. Because Lake lacks the dense infrastructure and traffic management systems of larger Arizona cities, rideshare accidents here often occur under unique circumstances—drivers unfamiliar with the area's terrain, limited cell service that delays emergency response, and roads with less predictable traffic patterns than metro Phoenix. When Uber or Lyft drivers navigate these remote stretches, fatigue, distraction, and speed misjudgment become heightened risks, particularly during seasonal tourism spikes when the mountains attract visitors seeking cooler weather and outdoor activities.

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

Arizona law holds rideshare companies and their drivers liable for injuries caused by negligence, and as a rideshare passenger or other accident victim in Lake, you have the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability. Arizona follows comparative fault rules, meaning your recovery may be reduced if you are partially responsible for the accident, but you can still recover as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault. The state's two-year statute of limitations applies to personal injury claims, so timely action is essential to preserve evidence and witness testimony in your case. For Lake residents, Sher Law Group provides the advantage of local Arizona knowledge combined with statewide representation, meaning we understand Gila County court procedures and have the resources to handle your claim whether it settles or proceeds to trial in the regional courthouse.
