  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.

Quartzsite and Rideshare Accident Claims

Quartzsite, located in La Paz County in western Arizona along Interstate 10, sits roughly 200 miles west of Phoenix and serves as a small but vital hub for travelers crossing the remote Arizona desert. The town's population of around 3,500 swells seasonally with RV enthusiasts and winter visitors, making it a transit point where rideshare services like Uber and Lyft operate regularly despite its rural character. The I-10 corridor through Quartzsite presents unique accident risks: long stretches of highway, variable weather conditions, and drivers fatigued from extended journeys create the perfect conditions for rideshare collisions. When accidents occur in this isolated region, injuries can be severe due to high speeds and limited immediate medical resources. Additionally, rideshare drivers unfamiliar with desert roads and local conditions may misjudge distances or fail to account for sudden weather changes, leading to preventable crashes that leave passengers injured and seeking answers about their rights.

Your Legal Rights After a Rideshare Accident in Quartzsite

Arizona law protects rideshare accident victims under the state's comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you bear some responsibility for the accident, as long as you are less than 50 percent at fault. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim under Arizona's statute of limitations. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and permanent disability if applicable. Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft carry substantial insurance coverage that applies during active rides, but navigating these claims requires expertise in both rideshare liability law and insurance policy interpretation. For Quartzsite residents, Sher Law Group provides seamless statewide representation without requiring you to travel to our Scottsdale office, handling all communications and proceedings on your behalf while you focus on recovery.
