Uber and Lyft Accident Cases We Handle
Rideshare accidents can involve different liability scenarios depending on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash.
Common cases include:
Passenger Injury Claims
If you were injured while riding in an Uber or Lyft, your claim may involve rideshare insurance coverage.
Driver Negligence Claims
Accidents caused by rideshare drivers may involve different coverage depending on whether the driver was logged into the app.
Third-Party Driver Accidents
If another driver caused the crash, multiple insurance policies may still be involved.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Rideshare drivers operating in busy areas may be involved in pedestrian or cyclist injuries.
Disputed Liability Cases
These claims often involve multiple parties and require a detailed investigation into what happened.
Each case depends on the facts, but rideshare accidents often require a more structured approach due to layered insurance coverage.
What to Do After an Uber or Lyft Accident in Walnut Creek
What you do after a rideshare accident can directly affect your claim.
If you’re able to:
Call 911 and report the accident
Take screenshots of your ride details in the app
Document the scene, vehicles, and any visible injuries
Get contact information from the driver and any witnesses
Seek medical attention as soon as possible
Rideshare cases often involve multiple insurance carriers, and early statements or delays can affect your claim.
If you’re unsure what to do next, speaking with a Walnut Creek Uber or Lyft accident lawyer can help you understand your options and avoid common mistakes.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
Rideshare accident injuries can affect your health, your work, and your daily life.
Depending on your situation, compensation may include:
- Medical expenses and ongoing care
- Lost income or reduced earning capacity
- Pain and physical discomfort
- Long-term or permanent limitations
Rideshare claims often involve larger insurance policies, but determining which coverage applies is not always straightforward.
Understanding what your case may be worth is not always simple, which is why many people speak with a Walnut Creek Uber or Lyft accident lawyer early in the process.
Writing a will that truly reflects your wishes
Clear, customized guidance from experienced attorneys
A will is one of the most important legal documents you’ll ever create. It ensures your property is distributed according to your choices, not left to state laws or court discretion. At Parker & Maloney, we help individuals and families across multiple states prepare valid, thoughtful wills that bring clarity and peace of mind. Whether your estate is modest or complex, our attorneys make the process straightforward, transparent, and designed around your specific goals.
Why every adult needs a will
Protecting your family starts with preparation
Many people assume wills are only for those with large estates, but they’re essential for anyone who wants a say in how their affairs are handled. A well-drafted will outlines who inherits your assets, who manages your estate, and who cares for your minor children. Without one, state law decides those matters for you, often in ways that don’t reflect your wishes. Our attorneys help you anticipate potential issues, minimize conflict, and leave a clear plan that makes things easier for your loved ones.
