  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.

St. and Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) Accidents

St. is a growing community in Arizona with direct access to major corridors that connect to Phoenix and Scottsdale, making it an increasingly popular pickup and dropoff location for rideshare services like Uber and Lyft. The combination of residential areas, commercial districts, and proximity to regional highways creates a steady flow of rideshare traffic through the city. Many accidents involving Uber and Lyft drivers in St. occur at busy intersections, during high-demand evening hours, or along routes leading to and from Phoenix's downtown and entertainment districts. Unlike traditional taxi services, rideshare drivers often prioritize navigation apps and passenger pickups over road conditions, and the pressure to maintain high ratings and complete frequent trips can lead to distracted driving, speeding, and unsafe lane changes. St. residents using rideshare services deserve to understand that these accidents are not inevitable—they often result from driver negligence and corporate policies that prioritize speed over safety.

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

Arizona follows a comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you are partially at fault, as long as you are less than 50% responsible for the accident. If you are injured in a rideshare accident in St., you have the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Arizona law gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim, so time is critical. Uber and Lyft carry insurance coverage for accidents occurring during active trips, but these companies often dispute claims or offer inadequate settlements. St. residents benefit from working with an attorney who understands both Arizona law and the specific tactics these rideshare companies use to minimize payouts. Sher Law Group serves clients throughout Arizona, including St., and handles all case work locally and in relevant court jurisdictions.
