  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.

  • Lost wages (past and future)
  • Pain and suffering

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.

Superior and Rideshare Accident Risks

Superior, Arizona sits in Pinal County roughly 60 miles southeast of Phoenix, positioned along US Route 60 as a gateway between the Valley and the copper mining regions beyond. The town's location on this major corridor, combined with its small but active population, creates unique rideshare accident risks that many residents don't anticipate. US-60 passes directly through Superior, and the highway's winding terrain, mixed traffic patterns, and seasonal weather conditions increase the likelihood of collisions involving Uber and Lyft vehicles. Because Superior residents frequently rely on rideshare services for trips to Phoenix, Scottsdale, and surrounding areas—often traveling longer distances than urban counterparts—they face elevated exposure to serious accidents. The rural-to-suburban character of the area means fewer traffic signals and less regulated pickup and dropoff zones, forcing rideshare drivers to make quick decisions in unpredictable environments. When an accident occurs, understanding your rights becomes critically important.

Your Legal Rights After a Rideshare Accident in Superior

Arizona law holds rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft responsible for injuries caused by their drivers' negligence, even though drivers are technically independent contractors. Under Arizona's comparative fault rule, you can recover damages even if you share partial responsibility for the accident, though your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim—a deadline known as the statute of limitations that Superior residents must respect. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and vehicle damage. Sher Law Group represents Superior residents throughout Pinal County and statewide, meaning proximity to our Scottsdale office doesn't limit your ability to pursue a strong claim. We handle all communication with Uber, Lyft, and their insurance carriers on your behalf, so you can focus on recovery.
