After an Uber or Lyft crash in Yuma, which insurance applies depends on the driver’s app status. Arizona’s rideshare (TNC) law (A.R.S. § 28-9551 et seq.) requires higher coverage once a ride is accepted or a passenger is aboard, and lower limits when the app is on but idle. You generally have two years to file (A.R.S. § 12-542). Most Arizona injury claims must be filed within two years of the incident (A.R.S. § 12-542), and a claim involving a city, county or the state requires a formal notice of claim within 180 days (A.R.S. § 12-821.01). Because Arizona applies pure comparative negligence, an insurer assigning you part of the blame reduces what you recover rather than ending the claim, which is why adjusters raise it early. Consultations are free and there is no fee unless we win.

It depends on the trip phase, the rideshare company’s $1M policy typically applies during a ride, lower coverage when the driver is waiting for a request, and personal insurance when the app is off.
Generally two years from the crash (A.R.S. § 12-542).
Winter-visitor traffic and cross-border commerce swell Yuma’s roads, especially along I-8 and US 95.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see rideshare accidents in Yuma include I-8, US 95, 4th Avenue, and 16th Street. Serious rideshare accident injury claims arising in Yuma are generally litigated in the Yuma County Superior Court.
Yuma is in Yuma County, so cases are filed in Yuma County Superior Court and a claim against the City of Yuma or Yuma County requires a notice of claim within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. Interstate 8 and US 95 carry heavy commercial truck traffic between California and the Phoenix and Tucson markets, and agricultural equipment on rural roads adds slow-moving-vehicle collisions uncommon elsewhere. Yuma’s winter visitor population swells the city between November and March, adding unfamiliar drivers and a higher share of older pedestrians. Proximity to the border and to California also raises out-of-state insurance and jurisdiction questions more often than in other Arizona cities.
If your rideshare accident happened outside Yuma, we take rideshare accident claims in Fortuna Foothills and rideshare accident claims in Phoenix as well.
